Or "people who advocate castration as punishment for political crimes".

Seriously.

Another good question.

Question: Why a 2 rating on my comment/question?  It was just a question.  Trying to gauge the level of disgust for the current financial situation.  I have my own gut feeling toward child molesters, etc.  Where do the current crop of Republicans and their ilk rate, on the gut-level scale?  That's all.

I thought your comment was in bad taste, and I thought my comment was sufficient explanation.

Do you castrate people on gut feelings, too?

Have never had the opportunity to do so.

If you are asking if castration is EVER an acceptable punishment/solution for any crime/situation, quite honestly, I don't know.  My comment, in all of its bad taste, was BUT ANOTHER ONE of my gut level postings which I seem to shoot out without considering the potential fallout.

"But what would Fox News have to say if they saw this posting"?

Question:  When I post ANYTHING, am I really suppose to consider the "sensibilities" of everyone or should I just be prepared for 2 ratings?  I don't mind being ignored; I'm used to that.
