Yes I get what you are saying. However, if YOU shot a man because he shot your children, you are doing it not for the best of society, you are probably doing it out of vengeance. You shouldn't be allowed to take right into your own hands. Law should do that.

Example: If someone gets the death penalty, would the relatives of the people he raped like to see him get eaten alive by wild dogs? Probably. However that serves no purpose but vengeance, retaliation. If you are taking the person out of society because that it better for it (he is sure to rape again), then do it in a humane, painless way.

With pedophiles: Who benefits from seeing the pedophiles on TV? How does the goal of the law benefit? If they just get caught and send to jail / therapy, that is the best you can do. They aren't going to behave better after they got ridiculed on TV. So the only goal it serves is vengeance on the 'bad' people (and money for the company that airs the show ) That is my point.

As for the pedophiles, they aren't making fun of them as much as you think they are. Something tells me you don't have a good understanding of American humor. They are exposing these criminals as wrongdoers and hopefully scaring them into never doing it again.[/b]
Like how introduction death penalties never change crime numbers? Really, making those people afraid doesn't work. Also, you aren't going to tell me they air the show, not because people like to see people they get getting owned, but that they watch it 'to make sure pedophiles are scared into doing it'. It is about entertainment, about the money.
