legalize setting rapists on fire
- I agree. I think that would be a good deterrent for rapists.
  
  Oof. Shouldn't be focus on rehabilitating them instead?
  
  Reigniting them?
  
  Let's compromise. Light their reproductive organs on fire.
  
  Yeahhh if they're raping one person they're probably raping others
  
  You don't understand: I'm a good person, so when I want to do horrible things, that's OK, because as a good person, I'll only do horrible things to bad people.
  
  aka the "rape out of self defensive" argument
  
  Like turning them into eunuchs?
  
  We 100% should be.
  
  Not everyone can be rehabilitated.
  Also, the threat of "rehabilitation" isn't enough to deter a significant portion of criminals.
  
  Threats don't prevent crime in general.
  
  Err... yes they do.
  The threat of punishment deters people from committing crimes.
  
  Not as much as people might wish. Crimes are generally either irrational or desperate, and neither of those states lend themselves to considering what-ifs that may or may not come to pass.
  That's not to say punishment isn't a vital part of a society, but the belief that increased punishment implies increased compliance comes from a place of ignorance.

  You mean the crimes people do in societies with punishments? Kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy you have there.

  Err... no it doesn't. Look at the amount of theft in places that allow it vs. places that cut off your hands. It's normal to steal from Walmart, but a sub-saharen African street vendor might be able to get your hands cut off if they catch you stealing from them.
  A place of ignorance is ignoring which place has the greater amount of theft, even when considering who is more incentivized to steal. It's okay. Most people on these forums are disconnected from reality.
  
  Ok bro.
