An eye 4 an eye, a tooth 4 a tooth
 

Is it right? Should we live by it? Or is it wrong? Inhumane?

Well for me personally, I think it's a pretty fair system. If u dun think so think about this: A man breaks into ur house, he beats, rapes, then kills ur mother. He then continues his crime by cuttin' off her head n then he writes from her blood, all over the walls...:o:crazy:

How would u feel about him then? Shouldn't the same b done 2 him? I say cut off his "....." ;) But that's just me... I mean, ppl feel differently about things... But seriously, it's hard 4 me not 2 think that an eye 4 an eye isn't fair...

so what about u? Do u kill him & make the exact same thing he did ?

... Share Wit' Us:D

im against an eye 4 an eye, a tooth 4 a tooth,
its not my job to punish him, only god have the right to punish ppl, im against killing in anyway, but i such thing happened to someone i know i dont know what i do, enno im human and feelings controls me, i dont think anyone can control himself in a such condition this is our nature, u maybe against killing and punishement but at that moment ur anger and hard feelings and the devil side of u will rule

Too bad I have to disagree with that, its not ur job to kill him, its not ur family's job to be dead on the hands of anyone... So I say, payback is sooo sweet, the revenge of making him feels & tastes the same pain that the family went through... u didnt commit a mistake when u called for REVENGE

Hell, he knocked on the devil's door...

I Agree 1000‰ With You. And I Would Like To Add Something, It's That We Can't Apply This System Everytime :S, For Example, If Someone Raped You, And You're A Girl... What Will You Do? Go Rape Him? :lool:...

Thank You :D

Actually , the " eye for an eye " morality is one of the fundamental and basic parts of LaVeyan Satanism which calls for vengeance and retaliation to others' actions as opposed to Christian teachings of turning the left cheek when hit on the right.

Many say that the only way life would go on as it should is by forgiveness, otherwise there would be no end for conflicts and problems. But it's obviously clear that one cannot control his rage and emotions especially if someone so close to him was the victim , and if the crime was brutally executed. And I'm Ok with that. I mean, emotions are a big part of every human, and they influence the way he acts. Some people do not feel "ok" until they avenge.
Therefore, I'm ok with revenge.

But I prefer the revenge to be a way of teaching him a lesson ( sweet revenge ) rather than wasting one's life just for the sake of doing so. And The word is torture ! The best rule would be that each person is given right to inflict pain and torture on the murderer : both inner torture and limited physical torture. It can be pictured as a situation where you have just caught an animal which you have advantage on.

man i dont think revenge is the right action, enno u r correcting the error with a bigger one, i dont think this is right

Re: An eye 4 an eye, a tooth 4 a tooth
 

U may dont think this is right, but I need to ask u this question:
do u really can sleep @ night & know that this murderer is out somewhere, in prison or even outside, & still alive?... does ur conscience tells u: "I wish I had a 2nd chance to meet him, just one more chance..." ?... don't u?O_o

Who is he to commit these thingz? God has the authority to stop this from happening, isn't that right? So I think I have the authority to take back what's mine...

In some cases,it's fair to take revenge...after all,we're only humans,and emotions control us.Sometimes it isn't that easy to forget or forgive so for some people,revenge is justice.And I don't mind as long as it's a fair revenge but: An eye for an eye and pretty soon everyone is blind. Gibran

LOL this guy is a treasure :p where did he go :p? Does anyone know in what museum he works :p?

Anyway to the topic of the thread? An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.....The first most primitive law man created. I am against it because of a lot of reasons. The above law doesn't even consider the possibility of the person performing the act at the first time being psychologically or mentally ill in need of treatment as opposed to being killed. The law above didnt see what many and many murderers later on in their life after the right rehabilitation managed to do and the many ways they helped society. In many countries. prisoners with long terms are the main source of blood donations made. In other countries they serve as cheap labor in areas normal labor won't work at. Many become religious and become at peace with themselves and repent their acts. Jails and prisons are not only expenses to the states but also money making institutions. Besides, if the man killed ur mom and this made u an orphan, by killing him back you have decided to punish his children or any family he has for example who probably had nothing to do with it. People are so excited about killing each other that they forget how final such decision is and how far reaching its results can be by affecting people who had no fault in the same place.

P.S. Whenever u find an answer to a moral question or dilemma easy (like in this case, an eye for an eye), you can safely assume it is not the best answer u will find cuz life's moral dilemmas are complicated and can't be generalized and then solved like this.
