Which is worse - Rape or Murder?

[Sammi]

the circumstances should fit the punishment... absolutely..

That is common law justice.. which statute laws do not provide.

statute courts, only care about whether a rule was broken.. which is the flaw.

Bear in mind that when it comes to morals, better and worse are points of veiw. Don't be afraid to speak your mind, there is no way to answer this question correctly or incorrectly; it's opinion in its purest form.

I'd say rape is worse; after you're murdered, you don't have to suffer through emotional trauma because of it. It seems to me that, while neither are legitimate, murder is done to solve a problem while rape is done to cause pain, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and it does not solve any problems.

Suppose a guy's wife cheats on him. He takes a 38 special and puts a bullet in his wife's head, then he puts a bullet in her boyfriend's head. Let's analyze that.

There were countless better ways to solve that problem. I think he was wrong in doing that, and I wouldn't have done it if I were him; but I could understand why he did it.

Now suppose instead, he waits outside for the boyfriend to leave, then goes in and rapes his wife. That I could not understand; that didn't solve any problems, and he hurt his wife a thousand times worse than one bullet to the head ever could.

I agree with this statement.
I think that shooter does agree that there should be an age of consent but what age that is I dont know.

Ask a woman.

It's almost to the point of being a sexist-macho-protective thing that men have come to believe rape is the worst of all crimes.

[Jylmu Raouls]

No, it should be worse - rape in marriage is an abuse of trust as well as a sexual assault.

As for your frienRAB, gansao, if a girl says no you stop, if you don't it's rape, simple as that.

[OrelHershiserIV]

Rapists are men who are convinced that when a woman says NO! she really means YES!

The devil's in the details, gansao.

and the 50p fine should stand too

That's true SP. I think in an earlier thread shooter wanted the age of consent a little earlier than I found comfortable and I understand that a little GHB can make the unwilling seem willing but as a general statement I would agree with what he stated.

I would ask a different question: which is worse, rape or torture? As in, the torture you hear about done in dictatorships?

As far as I know, we somewhat overemphasize rape while forgetting that there are other acts that break the same barriers as rape does and inflict the same kind of psychological suffering.

Not saying rape isn't horrible - just saying there's a lot of other things that are equally as horrible but don't get the "publicity".
