Personally I'd rather they kill me quick than stick me in prison for life, particularly in some SuperMax hellhole. Plus it's expensive as shit to execute anyone, I read some stats that said it costs Florida at least $10,000,000 for all the appeals and whatnot for a single case. We've got 348 on death row as of last November, so that's a lot of money.

Always trying to insist there is a 'middle-ground' huh?JimC wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:05 pmI suppose the death penalty is fairly binary (you either have one or you don't), but even then there can be degrees of application. You could have the death penalty apply automatically to any convicted murderer, no special pleading allowed. Or you could have it available, but only used in the most extreme cases...
If you stand against capitol punishment, there IS no middle ground where you execute some criminals.
Shit, if you really think middle ground exists all the time, you haven't considered any really hard questions.
I remember, but I was simply putting forward an example of a question without middle ground.BarnettNewman wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:17 pmWhat cunt is failing to remember is that reinstating capital punishment would nullify any number of extradition treaties Canada has with other nations.

Given the power disparity in their roles - they a prisoner and they a guard - it would seem that conventional wisdom would have it that his consent is not effective.keep it real wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:31 pmI've been rewatching watching OZ -Season 4 and Ryan O'Riley keeps getting forced to have sex with a female CO

Re: Even more problematic stuff
I think there is ALWAYS a power disparity (between any two people)
Does that mean all sex is rape?

Re: Even more problematic stuff
I think not. There must be an acceptable degree of power disparity between those involved before the real potential for abuse exists; much depends on how the advantaged party approaches/initiates the affair as well I think.

Re: Even more problematic stuff
Some have theorized that, yes, all heterosexual sex is rape of the woman, because the patriarchy inherently classes men as oppressor, privlleged and with power, and the women are oppressed and powerless. That's why women cannot be sexist - sexism is prejudice plus power. And, when it comes to consent, consent is not real consent if there is a power disparity.

Re: Even more problematic stuff
This muddles the issue.
The degree of power disparity which invalidates consent does not mean that consent was not given. It means consent is not relevant to the determination of whether an offense occurred. Like statutory rape - saying the girl was 17 doesn't mean she did not consent, simply because the "age of consent" is 18. The 17 year old may well have consented with vigor and without reservation, wholeheartedly and whole-every-other-organ-ly. The law simply removes lack of consent as an element of the crime - it doesn't say 17 year olds are not able to consent.
With the degree of power disparity - that's a big grey area. Was a time not too long ago where college students fucking their teachers was not seen as some kind ofpower disparity invalidatign consent. Look at the movie Animal House, where Katy cheats on Boone with the the college professor, Donald Sutherland. The zeitgeist has changed, to the point where adults are more and more infantilized (compared to just a few decades ago), and where a person who sucks off a professor would be presumed have the mental capacity choose whether or not to suck the dick, is now often presumed by many to be mentally incapable of resisting all requests for suckage that aren't made with obsequious supplication and disclaimers.

You just think you're upset now 42. Wait till they introduce the technology to go along with their science. I wonder what my power rating will be? How will we adjust them to make ourselves compatible with others?

Only, wording it that way is both proper and problematic. I am using the correct "they" to refer to a singular person, but the possessive "their" may reference them both, implying that it's both of them. That would be blaming the victim and rape apology. Only... .who's the victim and who is the perpetrator here?
