Do you support an eye for an eye Justice ?

[Telstra]

i do BUT only in some cases.
If someone planned and threw acid to person's face, the offender should get the same treatment.

If a teacher whip a student for not very good reason, that teacher should be whipped as well.

Quote:
An Iranian woman living in Spain said on Wednesday she welcomed a Tehran court ruling that awards her eye-for-an-eye justice against a suitor who blinded her with acid.

Ameneh Bahrami, 30, told Cadena SER radio, "I am not doing this out of revenge, but rather so that the suffering I went through is not repeated."

Late last year an Iranian court ruled that the man - identified only as Majid - who blinded Bahrami in 2004 after she spurned him, should also be blinded with acid based on the Islamic law system of "qisas", or eye for an eye retribution, according to Iranian newspaper reports from November.

But Bahrami, who moved to Spain after the attack to get medical treatment, said on Wednesday that under Iranian law, she is entitled to blind him in only one eye, unless she pays E20,000 ($A39,223), because in Iran women are not considered equal to men.

Not really...for the same reason that I wouldn't support the death penalty in most circumstances. To much of a chance of mistakes, miscarriages of justice, etc.

I have seen pictures of that poor lassie though, and in this case, I'd say blindin' is too good for the cunt that did that to her.

Actually, for an eye for an eye to work in that case, you'd have to whip that teacher 'for not very good reason' too.

No. .

Of course I don't support this nonsense.

The Arabs are backwards. Always have been, always will be.

I can't remember who said it, but my favorite quote on the idea is "All you get with 'an-eye-for-an-eye' justice is two blind people instead of one!"

I think that you have just misquoted Gandhi.

"An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind."

 

[gdude30]

Yes and No.

I think it depends on the situation and who delivers the punishment.

 

[Fucker29]

No. Period.

 

[PlayingwithChance]

So, if you rape a really hot dude, he gets to rape you too?

Hmmm...

 

[Telstra]

i support an eye for a lot of money.

 

[sulphur-springs]

I agree with it.
If someone hurt/killed one of my family members, I would most definitely get my revenge. Perhaps not kill them (as I really don't think I could bring myself to), but make them wish I did.

 

[Wajdan]

Yes and no. That law was the best when it was enacted centuries ago when there was no rule of law. Now the judicial system and policing is strong enough to catch the culprits and punish them. That Islamic law also has a clause of forgiving the sin of others and in fact that is a preferable option.

Anyways, this topic needs a lot of debate from learned people who have the actual knowledge n stuff.

It was actualy the jews that came up with that particular concept [moderator edit]. Gonna say they're backward too?

 

[Shepherd 2]

No, a thousand times no. I do not want lex talonis practiced anywhere. It seems to come from a deep seated need for vengence or revenge.

Shep+

 

[EwanSF]

That's exactly what it is. If someone fucked me up like that, I'd want to make the cunt wish they'd never been fuckin' born. Wanting revenge is perfectly natural response to being wronged. Also, sympathy for those in that situation is a natural response as well.

So she is saying she wants the other man to be blinded and go through the pain that she went through so it doesn't happen again? Sure... that makes sense.

I do not support this.

 

[Paws]

I dislike lynch mobs.

Yeah, what with their big noses and singing and beards.

I know that the Jews invented the concept of an eye for an eye some centuries ago, however the modern-day example in the OP is somewhat Arabic.

Spaz.

 

[Lasosa]

When I'm feeling really bitter and cynical, yes. Otherwise, no.
