"I would be living in fear of having my balls cut off."

Why, though? Unless you're upto something lawfully dodgy and socially heinous, you'd be fine. It's no different than being arrested and thrown into jail, everything goes through the same proceedure, it just takes away a persons ability to spread their nasty, little ways throughout society.

"It doesn't matter if it's "three strikes, you're out." Poeple only think of the bad, and castration is pretty damn bad. That would lead to riots and treasonous crimes."

What are you basing this on? We had the death penalty, and okay, sure, there were protests about it, but not riots of treasonous crimes. Now, to me, taking somebody's life is worse than taking their ability to bare children.

"No. Humans have no right to control the life of another human being for any sort of purposes."

Ugh. So you have 100 of the worst, most vile criminals ever to walk the Earth all lined up, and Scientists say "If we experiment on these people - we'll be able to cure Cancer" are you saying you'd say "Nope. Sorry. But i'm not willing to harm the bad minority for the good majority!"

"do you think in 1923 that the average German could have anticipated that Hitler would become chancellor just ten years later?"

From what i understand of it, and i may be wrong, but Hitler would've never gotten into power if it wasn't for the Wall Street crash. In fact, i'm sure i read somewhere that he was some kind of joke before the depression - meaning he only got to power through pure chance.

"This is probably just something I'm sensitive about, being Jewish, but we're always on the lookout for the next nazi party"

You say that as if they're not around or in power, there're some countries that are exactly like that - Africa, for example, with the mass culling of the Hudu's (or...some random Black race).

"in the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century, Germany was considered the centre of contempory Jewish culture and the country where Jews were most accepted and integrated into wider society"

Well, that's what happens when you kill God's son. Out of all the Son's you could've had killed - you had to go and choose God's.

One word, my Jewish friend, one word - Karma.
