Excessive sentence (for rapists)?

Once again, IOL had this article.

WHAT? There is something like an excessive sentence for a rapist? BULLTWANG.

Obviously it must have been a man that came up with something like that... right? According to me, if you rape a woman / man / child you should be thrown in jail for life and be castrated. (CHOP CHOP) Then it won't bug you anymore and you won't be able to rape anyone ever again.

Rape ruins lifes. Why should a criminal not pay a dear price for ruining somebody's life? We should not feel sorry for criminals and pat them on their backs saying, "don't worry, everything will be ok." Rapists do not deserve freedom or pity.
