Is an eye for an eye wrong?

[Rahul]

ever heard the saying two wrongs dont make a right? that means if u get back at the person then he will just get back at u for revenge and it will keep going on and no one wins

Thats why you kill them.

It's completely fine. I would have no problem with capital punishment for a murderer. Manslaughter is another story but, assuming the crime was intentional, they should be prepared for the consequences.

I disagree, If they wrong you, You should just let fate decide what happens to them.
They're weak minded if they need to do wrong to others.
Being the bigger man (Or woman in my case) Would just piss them off so much more. =]

If we instated the eye for an eye policy, DC wouldn't have as many murders. Chicago would have less muggings and robberies. I think that sounds pretty good.

Fate is an imaginary concept.

It could piss them off - or it could make them laugh, and continue to aggress against you.

Well, In my oppinion, we should apply that theory if it's intentional and not any kind of joke. I completly agree with you Shredderbeam.

depending on circumstances, no, but in extreme cases, yes

i say yes there isn't a really right or wrong opinion here as they're isn't much to argue about.

yes two wrongs don't make a right, but if you do something wrong you should face consequences.
