Hi Irondork,
As I stated in my first post the threshold for death penalty for me should be at least 10 years old. However others in our hypothetical legislation team might have it 5 yo and because at the end we need to come out with something written called Law, let say 7 years old is the threshold all agreed to sign off.
Later comes the issue of what should be the penalty for crimes outside that parameters, ages 7-18 and the whole factors playing around, etc , etc… Let's stop this hypothetical exercise here.
That brings me to the next questions:
- Where our sense of justice comes from?
If is it the result of the evolution of human pshyque through time, how many more centuries we need to wait to get it right?
Why I cannot see any legal system of any country properly punishing pedos?
Why current human legal systems are so shy to apply death penalty for a undepicable damaging ( I don't know what many other adjectives us to describe it) actions as the one we are considering?
When they do apply death penalty for cases like murder… takes a lot of time an hassle to actually put to death the law's breaker.
I mean.. talking a bout pedos's look to Greek ancient society or the Romans, they kind of tolerated or even promoted.
Our modern societies should be better that them, we should be evolving for better. I'm not seeing it, nor in developed neither on undeveloped countries.
For your comments death penalty is not and issue within certain parameters, and for sure should not be and issue for many others.
But somehow when times come to enforce it many get shy , retrieve , step back, etc.
Seems to me internally humans beens don't think or feel have the rights to punish other fellow human at that extent. Although they agreed is deserved.
Here is where the concept of an Almighty God comes to the picture.
Someone with the higher sense of justice and with the indisputable position of power,
Someone who doesn't shrink back to come forward for the sake of the righteousness.
If this is true then I'm none to argue Him, only try to understand the way he judge pedophilia
why He allow it? and most important How He will fix the victims if they can really be restore completly.
Because even for an AlpowerfullFixer been as far I can see once the actions happens is a huge nightmare, for the victims as well for the One/ones need to judge itself.
