What's the worst crime a person can commit?

[Lord of Denial]

A friend and myself where discussing this topic the other day and we both had different answers to it and I suspect almost everyone does.

So what in your personal opinion is the worst crime a person can commit?

[moebius]

I choose genocide.

[Paul McEnery]

I choose genocide.
Though being Jeffrey Archer comes a close second.

[Winslow]

Collecting all of the multiple covers on a single issue.

[Stellar]

IMO, the only thing worse than genocide is performing genetic experiments on or torturing a large population rather than or before killing them.

[Grazzt]

Wiping out the entire universe.

Because that's where I keep my stuff.

[Lord of Denial]

I was thinking along the lines a crime every person could commit. Genocide is a crime only a select few people in a place of power and with vast resources could commit.

[hoffmandu]

Dipping ones ballzack in the mash potatoes before serving them. Very uncool.

[Arrjay]

I was thinking along the lines a crime every person could commit. Genocide is a crime only a select few people in a place of power and with vast resources could commit.

In that case I would say murder.

Rape would be a close second.

[Winslow]

I was thinking along the lines a crime every person could commit. Genocide is a crime only a select few people in a place of power and with vast resources could commit.

With that qualification, murder.

[Super Hero Guy]

Torture and then murder.

[Lord of Denial]

With that qualification, murder.


I would say molesting a child is way up there.

When a person does that the mental pain and suffering can last a lifetime.

[(A)//(E)]

I would say molesting a child atleast is in the running.

When you do that the mental pain and suffering can last a lifetime.
that's why I'm putting rape ahead of murder for this.

[Lord of Denial]

that's why I'm putting rape ahead of murder for this.


Even in a prison full of murders a child molestor is looked as nothing more than scum. That tells you a lot right there.

[Magneto_X]

I would say molesting a child is way up there.

When a person does that the mental pain and suffering can last a lifetime.

Yup. Even in prison inmates who do this are considered the lowest of the low.

[BoosterBronze]

That dude who shot up the Amish school? What he did.

[Captain Murphy]

Farting on the bus

[HomerJay]

Farting in an elevator.

[Mike Pothier]

Definitely child molestation/rape. I've seen the effects this has.

[StoneGold]

Raping babies to death... while burning the American flag! Hat trick!

[Dreadstar]

Rape of a pre-pubescent is tops of my list.

Murder comes a very distant second or third or whatever, because there's just some people that need killin'.

[Davideaux]

Raping babies to death... while burning the American flag! Hat trick!

Aw shit! That's the most sinisterest shit ever!

[BYC]

It's gotta be murder. There's no other crime a single person can do that ends lives, with no chance the victim can somehow recover.

Rape and child sex crimes are horrible certainly, but positives can still come from the victims. They still have a chance to become useful members of society.

There's usually not motivational speakers talking about how commiting murder helped their lives for the better. Other crimes have a chance to let the victims simulate and motivate themselves to help the world.

I believe, in the end, taking a life is the ultimate crime. Hopefully, mankind will not find a worse crime.

[cactusmaac]

Killing somebody for no particular reason.

[StoneGold]

Having dogs rape babies to death and selling the videos on the internet.

[Slam_Bradley]

Rape of a pre-pubescent is tops of my list.

Murder comes a very distant second or third or whatever, because there's just some people that need killin'.


I'm Slam Bradley and I agree with this message.

[macul]

Murder with rape coming in a close second.

[StoneGold]

Raping a pregnant woman, impregnating her fetus, then aborting the fetus' fetus.



Although I'm not sure that's actually biologically possible.

[StoneGold]

Murder with rape coming in a close second.
While it is creepier if you do it that way, it is less psychologically torturous for the victim.

[Dreadstar]

While it is creepier if you do it that way, it is less psychologically torturous for the victim.

HAH! Beat me to it.

[Sanagi]

Seems pretty obvious - Torture to the point where the victim wishes for death but is not granted it.

[Haunt]

child molestation - it's the crime that keeps on giving

[darkkeeperjr]

Seems pretty obvious - Torture to the point where the victim wishes for death but is not granted it.

Shoe shopping with your girl friend.

[Lord of Denial]

Shoe shopping with your girl friend.


Please, try furniture shopping with your wife. You will remember shoe shopping fondly!

[Harlock]

Hmm, I have a problem picking one. Rape (including child molestation), and then the sort of kidnapping + physical and psychological torture one fears after seeing stuff like Saw or Silence of the Lambs.

[Gilda Dent]

Murder should be ahead of rape/child molestation. It's possible to recover from the latter to an extent that one can have a decent life. That's not possible for murder.

Gilda

[darkkeeperjr]

Posioning the well!

[Slam_Bradley]

Posioning the well!


Even worse than putting a snake in someone's boot.

[Zombienorthstar]

Even in a prison full of murders a child molestor is looked as nothing more than scum. That tells you a lot right there.

It tells me 'If you cant accept the moral judgment of a murderer then who can you trust really?'

[hoffmandu]

Crapping on, or in the vicinity of the coats.

[Lord of Denial]

It tells me 'If you cant accept the moral judgment of a murderer then who can you trust really?'


Or it tells me there are some crimes even a murderer would not commit.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Intentionally driving someone into insanity (through torture, or whatever), rape/child molestation, then murder.

[i_mmmchocolate]

Even in a prison full of murders a child molestor is looked as nothing more than scum. That tells you a lot right there.
Yep.

I'd go so far as to say any crime against a child.

[Thanos_6383]

I choose genocide.

I agree.Genocide takes it.

[StoneGold]

Yep.

I'd go so far as to say any crime against a child.
Taking candy from a baby?

[Valmore]

Taking candy from a baby?

Pullman posted a story about a woman using her baby to beat her boyfriend.

I think that should be pretty high up there - abuse of children is pretty damned heinous.

I was threatening my 6 year old cousin the other night that I was going to throw his 9 month old sister at him if he wasn't behaving. Does that count?

[Valmore]

I was threatening my 6 year old cousin the other night that I was going to throw his 9 month old sister at him if he wasn't behaving. Does that count?

Threatening is kinda bad, too. But not nearly as bad as if you actually went and did it.

[TheTen-EyedMan]

Children - hands down. That's why JonBenet Ramsey affects everyone so deeply.

Olivia told me about this asshole in Sydney, Australia who killed old women. That's pretty bad too.

Asshole.

Glad he's dead.

[Woodwose]

I agree.

At least the victim is dead after murder.

[thehod]

Waking me up to go to fucking Ikea first thing on a Sunday morning ranks pretty high in my opinion.

[TheTen-EyedMan]

You married her.

Marriage has to be the worst crime out there.

People do it willingly...almost viciously.

It's like a long boring dinner party with people you hate that has the desert at the beginning.

[Lord of Denial]

Raping old women to death with baby corpses?


It stopped being funny on your 10,000th or so joke on the subject.

[Gilda Dent]

I agree.

At least the victim is dead after murder.

Which is not a better outcome.

Gilda

[Sabrinaset]

Which is not a better outcome.

Gilda

I dunno Gilda, speaking from personal experience, there are many times the victim wishes she WAS dead. At least there would be an end to the pain.

[Gilda Dent]

I dunno Gilda, speaking from personal experience, there are many times the victim wishes she WAS dead. At least there would be an end to the pain.

I understand that. I've felt the same way on occasion. It's normal to want the pain to go away, but some degree of healing is always possible when you're alive. A damaged life can still be a good life, even if it is less than it would have been otherwise.

Rape? Child molesting? PFFT! How about having to pay $6 for a cheap beer (bud, millerlight) at the MetroDome. Now that's a crime.

[Gilda Dent]

If it's $6, doesn't that make it an expensive beer?

Gilda

[Davideaux]

I think plagiarism deserves the death penalty.

[hoffmandu]

Gilda

cheap in quality

[Dreadstar]

cheap in quality
Probably the cheapest on the menu, too. Do they have higher priced suds?

Everything's relative. A buck a bottle of Bud at the local watering hole might be cheap compared to the rest of the watering holes, but you'd never buy a 6-pack at the grocer for $6.

[Haunt]

I thought of that Wonder Woman issue where Dr Psycho was psychicaly torturing a baby in the womb.

Yes. Frequently. That and shit are about the only things they do.

[StoneGold]

Forcing somebody to rape an underaged reliative at gunpoint.
See, you would have had it if it were not at gunpoint, but at rapepoint. You know, threatening someone with rape to rape their underage relative.


And then, you know, raping them. I mean, at that point might as well.

[Erebus]

When someone who knowingly has AIDS or HIV has sex with multiple partners without protection.

[J. Robb]

Good one. People who do that need a painful death.

[Suzanne]

Jaywalking.

[Pinball]

Yes. Frequently. That and shit are about the only things they do.
That's just everyday stuff like "I want some milk!" "I need a new diaper!" "I can't find my favorite toy!", not "MY TOES ARE GETTING CUT OFF!!!"

God gave cosmocide to you, gave cosmocide to you...gave cosmocide to everyone!

[Norrin Radd]

And I've always liked the term "planocide".

I got that from an issue of Thor.

Seeing as how this is a comics forum, I thought I could get away with saying that.

[CoffeeStained]

All of the worst crimes a person can commit require the use of a cellphone at inappropriate times and places. Restaurants, theatres, vehicles, bathrooms, nightclubs. Don't make me kill you.

[Night]

I'd have to say child molestation.

Just about anything else there's always someone saying "Well it's society's fault"

[Boldido]

If you want to know the worst, you don't have to look any further than John Couey here in Florida. He was the animal that kidnapped, raped and then buried alive little Jessica Lunsford. She was found in a grave still clutching her beloved stuffed dolphin.

If you have to pick one, then I would clearly go with murder. People talk about the pain that victims of childhood sexual abuse have to endure, and there no doubt in my mind that it is horrific, but they are alive to tell the tale. We have no ability to hear from the victims of murder, so I'm not so quick to make victim accounts the yard stick by which we measure.

Were being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse worse than death, I would also expect a 100% suicide rate among its victims, but we clearly do not have that either.

I agree with Gilda when she says that at least victims of sexual offenses have the opportunity to heal. That is an opportunity the victims of murder will never be afforded.

[Reptisaurus!]

From my point of view, torture seems a lot more alien than murder.

Which makes it worse, at least in my mind.

I can certainly imagine circumstances where I'd buy a gun and go shoot somebody in the head. Bam, one shot. And, um, not feeling too bad afterwards.

I don't think I could torture someone, though. It's just not in me. So I find it easier to condone murder than torture.

[CoffeeStained]

If so, that's something that should be stopped forthwith, perhaps slowly and painfully.

[Nikita]

A friend and myself where discussing this topic the other day and we both had different answers to it and I suspect almost everyone does.

So what in your personal opinion is the worst crime a person can commit?


Sexual torture of women and children.

[StoneGold]

Being attacked by the dogs with the bees in their mouths, and when they bark they shoot bees at you.

[Super Hero Guy]

A case that happened about a year ago near where I live. A man outside of a bar was smoking, and a gang of people get out of a car to go to the convenient store next door. Somehow, the smoking man and one of the gang members bump into each other, they start talking shit, shoving each other, but fall short of actually fighting.

Half an hour later, the gang member has gone to his house, gotten a butcher knife and returns to the bar and stabs the man in the stomach.

I would say this and any murders of similar motive should rank pretty high.

I agree. Anything where you make someone/thing suffer and/or put them in pain and extreme anguish is the worst thing you can do to them. (rape, torture, etc.)

[Monty_Cristo]

[Brian "Vash" Ashby]

Murder should be ahead of rape/child molestation. It's possible to recover from the latter to an extent that one can have a decent life. That's not possible for murder.

Gilda

I disagree

Mostly because many victims of child abuse in turn become child abusers. Its cyclical.

Murder is a needle prick. Child molestation is a cancer.

[rick]

Of all the crimes against humanity, none really hit me as being worse then being a Mime.

Murder, rape and torturing kittens is one thing, but bugging people waiting for a bus by pretending to be trapped in an invisible box, or losing a tug of war with some invisible foe really deserves nothing less then having the fiend actually sealed inside a real glass box, that is then dropped into the middle of the Indian Ocean.

[CoffeeStained]

Airtight, and thick enough that the mime can't break it, but thin enough that after a few atmospheres of pressure it shatters inward.
