So basically your rule is perpetuating cycles of hate for petty revenge that does not actually help?

There is no perpetual cycle; my rule is to end the cycle. The current 'rule' in society is to lock them up for a few years and then let them go. That perpetuates the cycle.

i have a defender spirit so the question of killing does pop up if that situation arrives. There should always be a punishment to every crime but can death be truly a punishment? What would you learn? The way i see it the only person would see any good out of death would be serial killers and terrorists. Sometimes i wonder a penal colony would be a good idea.......

So if I killed all the rapists in the world there would be no more rape? Well I can't believe no one ever thought of genocide like that before ::)

More or less yes. Kill all instances of smallpox, you end smallpox. Kill all rapists, you stop rape.

I don't know what is more disturbing, your disregard for life or your reasoning that this would somehow work.

Give me a reason how it wouldn't.

Also, my view is that a rapist or paedophile gives up their right to be considered a human when their commit those atrocities.

Why not just kill everyone, and rid the world of immorality altogether? I mean, if we're gonna resort to such drastic and destructive means, I don't see any reason to half-ass it.

That is not how it works. Not at all. Rape is not a disease transmitted from person to person, it is a physical act that does not need to be learned, it is simply done.

...I can only see this working with infinite personell and time travel. Unfortunately, things don't work like that, as rape is not a disease.

No it isn't a disease. It is an act. Remove those who commit said act, you remove the act.

Again, only possible with time travel/reality warping. Not gonna happen.

What happens when more people are born? Or when someone does it for the first time? You don't stop the act, you just stop repeat offenders, for much too high of a price.

Anyone can commit an act, Gamerlord. Indeed, killing all rapists is probably the least efficient way to go about preventing rape, because everyone you're going up against has already committed at least one rape.
