What if one of the guys on death row raped and killed your wife or daughter? Then what? Are you even man enough to get really pissed off about it to the point of wanting to kill him? I don't know if that is about being man, but I'll be so angry that I would kill anyone that is remotely suspected to be involved in the murder, without being much careful about his innocence! That's why it's better to keep the people who love the victims out of the inquiry. I don't know if killing the culprit will make me feel better, but I know for sure that this will not bring back to me my wife or my daughter. Sure, not everyone who's killed is guilty, but there are a hell of a lot more that are. Are you even human enough to get pissed off about that? -- Looking for a new screen-saver?

They make them out of black bags (rubbish bags), shopping bags, bits of plastic and wire. The end result is something that looks like a chicken. No idea what you are supposed to do with them other than put them in your house and "admire" it. I have not bought one.

Because every human, no matter how logical and thoughtful, seeks revenge when they have been wronged, and the murder or the rape of a loved one is about as large a trigger as you could get. Punishment and rehabilitation back into a "safe" member of society, or even the life long incarceration of a person is no place for the family/persons lust for revenge. I'm sickened people could even imagine that could be called "justice" - even in parts of the world where a person is stoned to death for adultery or their hand is cut off for stealing, at least the punishment is for the act not for the sick gratification the people who were wronged. (that has no effect on it though it is clearly still part of it) The KKK kill for gratification - isn't it about time you stopped your government from doing the same too?

I don't know about the plastic variety but I once saw an entertainer at a medieval show (Ok, this was in the pub after the public had gone!) juggle rubber chickens...it was hilarious! :laugh: Anna :rose: www.annasplace.me.uk

Well, amputation as punishment for stealing seems a bit counter-productive to me, but amputation for, say, cutting someone's hand off is sort of appealing. Perhaps this could be expanded a bit, so that say, someone running a mine would get a few pounds of carbon shoved down his throat every time a minor died of lung diseases. Might be interesting...

Good answer. It *is* important that those serving justice are not influenced by a desire for vengance, though for the good of society it is sometimes necessary that they act to avenge others. David Wulff wrote: The KKK kill for gratification - isn't it about time you stopped your government from doing the same too? Yes. It's also about time they stopped imprisoning people for gratification, enacting social welfare programs for gratification, starting wars for gratification, levying taxes / enabling tax breaks for gratification... :rolleyes: "Government of & by the people" may be all well and good, but occasionally i'd like to see some politicians act a *little* less human, at least where human vices are concerned... :|

I found myself trying to drive nails in with an axe and splitting wood with a hammer. I failed miserably in both tasks.
