Eye for an Eye, Tooth for a Tooth.

[Shredderbeam]

Think about it this way. You punch me and I fall down. I get up and punch you and you get hurt.

Some may think that was un-needed violence, but at the same time, who is to say that Karma did not act through you and your fist?

So in a sense, Eye for an Eye is another example of karma.

There are two ways to think of Karma: In a spiritual sense, or cause and effect. I believe in cause and effect, obviously, but what evidence is there for karma in a spiritual sense?

And anyhow, what do you think about the topic Shredder? Being an athiest and all, are you more or less for the idea of an Eye for an Eye?

I think it's madness, largely. Killing a murderer simply because they have killed somebody else is just revenge, whatever way you want to put it.

It is a good rule but it needs more work :S

 

[Miss Pretty777]

revenge sounds good at the time but in the end is usually bad

I personally agree with this particular extract from the Old Testament, and it fucking pisses me off that in the UK, people are getting away with crime simply because prisons are over-crowded.

That eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth just promotes violence by saying that if someone kicks you kick that bastard back and so the circle will just continue, living our lives off of some 'law' made thousands of years ago is wrong and by now should be able to realize it. I somewhat believe in karma so basically if someone hits you they are actually hitting themselves in a sense.

I have to agree.
an eye for an eye is basiclly the oppiste of if someone slaps you on the cheek turn the other one, (but then again thats basiclly saying just bel the shit out of me)

It makes perfect sense. But I think the reason they do it this way is because people get unfairly charged and convicted with things, so it just tries to even everything out.

I fully agree with the first post.

I'm all for revenge, vengence, or 'an eye for an eye'

People deserve to be given what they dish out, perfect example being the family one.

Him in jail recieving my tax money for his food would aggrivate me, I do believe in capital punishment, and I believe cold-blooded murderers deserve to die.

I aggre with Dorito, if that rule would still exist, world population degree would go down. That rule weren't really good for all people, just for merchants and clerks. People, who were below this standard(slaves) were killed even for little accident.

The problem with such a law, is that a guilty man can get away with nothing, whilst an innocent man can face sever punishment. Unless there is a foolproof method of discovering guilt, this law cannot be undertaken.

Personally i think its fair..but...u need to noe its 100% guilt.
