Well you are all bigger people than I am...
I do agree that CP is a very flawed concept, and I have never been one to condone violence or death at another's hands.
Yet, I do agree with poshsinglemum and Sn0wflake in that my feelings completely changed when I became a mum and I know full well that if something ever happened to my DS I would probably end up in prison myself on a murder charge.
I know this is absolutely ridiculous as a child needs his/her mother, and especially after a trauma such as that (and that would be the ONLY thing that would stop me from murder), but just the thought of someone hurting my boy can bring such a rage to me that I would want painful revenge...
But I live with myself knowing that. I don't expect others to agree and would not try to make others agree.
I think justice wise, prison needs to be more of a deterrent. Besides me exacting my personal revenge, CP is far too flawed for it to be re-introduced and too much of a 'get out' for the perpetrator of the crime.
Prison needs to go back a century or two.... with fecking hard labour lumped in too. Then no one would want to return! Leave them 10 to a cell that is just 4 concrete walls and a hole in the ground. Nothing but bread, gruel and water and hard labour for 14-16 hours per day.
Sod human rights, the criminal violated someone else's human rights to be there in the first place, why does he deserve to have his respected??
bah - the justice and prison system is a very large bone of contention to me.
