    What's the worse crime? Rape or murder?

    While rape is a terrible crime, I think murder is of higher gravity. I mean rape victims still get to live (mind you, the quality of life can vary considerably).

    Which is worse? 7 votes

    Murder..... then raping the body.....

    Murderous rape.

    Withe the greatest of respect to the OP, not a subject I'd like to put much thought into except to say both are terrible crimes and judging level of each one varies according to the poor individual involved.

    In my opinion they're equally evil.

    Seriously I see little or no difference in gravity.

    Funny how the computer games industry doesn't seem to think so.

    Rape victims can still breathe.

    So, Murder.

    I know! Isn't it strange how everybody don't share the same opinions?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,578 ✭✭✭✭Turtwig


    Both are something that entail something that has being done against the victims will so they're both equally as bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭plein de force


    i don't think they can be compared
    they're both truly horrific acts that have completely different effects on the victim and victim's family (with respect to murder).
    they both unleash true, horrible pain on people, true sadness and emotional turmoil equally but on different levels

    Games are set in a virtual world where endless possibilities arise. If you're gonna go out and reenact what you see in a game then you really need to have your head checked.

    Games, like films have age ratings on them.

    Murder would have to be the worst as your dead.But rape victims can go through trauma which would make them rather be dead.

    Is this a multiple choice question? If so, I check:
    [x] All of the above


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,329 ✭✭✭Xluna


    Murder as you have a chance to get your life back together with rape,not true with murder though.

    The classic chat up line.... "Don't let this rape turn into a murder"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,658 ✭✭✭Mal-Adjusted


    Tax evasion! :eek:

    Has this ever worked?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭Prof.Badass


    Seriously?

    A penis up a vagina can = murder?

    I know it's a horrible, emotionally destroying experience. But, at the end of the day you're still alive.

    :confused:- at someone even asking this question.

    NEVER fails :p

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,658 ✭✭✭Mal-Adjusted


    according to television :) the question should be

    not paying your t.v. licence.
    or
    giving somebody food poisoning.

    Em...I can't imagine how the victim would feel after rape and I don't know how I could keep going but I suppose with the right help the victim would recover and you only live once, so murder.

    by that logic poking someone is also equally bad?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,803 ✭✭✭El Siglo


    What about death by snoo snoo? That probably 'straddles' but categories I'd imagine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    I'd imagine rape. You'd still be alive after, and have to go through some pretty horrible emotions. At least when you're dead, you're dead, and that's the end of it.

    I agree. But I think the whoe penis-up-vagina thing can be easily be trivialised, especially by men. Rape is one of the worst things you can do to a woman. They are biologically way more sensitive to this kind of thing.

    I'm pretty sure men don't shrug it off so easily either, I think it ends in suicide more often.

    I'd rather be raped than murdered, so I'd say murder is worse.
