"All it takes for the triumph of evil is for good men to stand by and do NOTHING". Ever heard of fighting fire with fire? Paedophiles cannot be cured, they are not able to be rehabilitated, so what is your answer, oh wise one?

My answer is that we punish people for their crimes, I'm not defending them but 'fighting fire with fire' is quite frankly stupid and short sighted.
If you're a parent surely you should be setting an example to your children by showing them that fair and honest justice is the only way to go? If we go down your path we might as well execute anyone even accused of a crime as chances are in your world they are guilty. What kind of message are you sending by saying you want people murdered or tortured for commiting crimes? At the end of the day Captial punishment IS murder at the end of the day.
I'm sorry but I must have missed that essay I wrote saying that these people deserve leniant sentences, care to send it to me? I hope they get the maximum sentence but killing them or anyone else simply makes us as bad as them. Whether you liked it or not you attempted to justify your proposed actions by saying that it was justice. It's not it's thuggish behavior what you in the past have so vehemently opposed, just because the target would be a guilty party doesn't make violence right or justified.
Lastly, I'm as entitled to my opinion as you regardless if I have children or not so you can stop playing that card right now.
