As opposed to not kidnapping in the first place?

Pretty sure people who are kidnapping don't care.

I'm sure we all agree that Colombia is a pretty horrible part of the world, kidnapping is still not worse than murder unless it actually involves murder. ducy?

Because you seem to think that a singular human life is more valuable than the utter destruction of a family and the mental well being of all parties involved. A prolonged stage of uncertainty, mental and emotional anguish and suffering will probably keep a person from doing much for a very, very long time. You're supposed to deal with all that while also working and functioning in the world?

At least death carries with it some kind of finality to it. As opposed to months, or even years, of not knowing what's going to happen to you or your family.

You clearly are not aware how kidnaps really are, in mexico kidnapping is punished with 75 years (there are no life setences), kidnaps are not like this retarded shit, a real "proper" kidnap is where they take you for some place for a long time, then they contact your family and they usually send something like your finger or your ear in order to scare the family, then they ask MORE than the family has, so the family empties their bank accounts sellt heir houses cars and ask for money, then after you pay theres like a 30% chance to get him because most of the time the hostage is killed. People in Colombia get kidnapped for periods of over 2 years very often, if you dont think keeping somebody captive for 2 years while draining his family to their last penny is not comparable to murder your kind of retarded.

I think the conditions someone was kidnapped in makes quite a bit of difference. You can let your imagination run wild on what types of situations could arise that would qualify as kidnapping but not be all that serious.

Bad example: rape, torture (physical and mental) for years followed by maximum extortion of the person and there family. As with any crime many things factor into the severity of the actions although modern jurisdiction seems to see no difference.

Good example: Father kidnaps his own children after mother wins a custody battle.

It really depends on the situation. I still think that killing is worse then kidnapping though.

Before you started complaining I had already found my GF and forced her to look at this thread just for that pic. We laughed. It was a great moment in our life that I will never forget.

^^

but seriously, I laughed a lot.
