If you got the same punishment you gave to your victim, less crime would happen
It would be a pretty straight forward system |
|
|
I remember hearing a saying about "An eye for an eye would leave the whole world blind"
The sad thing is I forgot who said that. |
|
|
because this isnt the 1700s BC
ok |
|
|
what if you murdered a dozen people
would they clone you twelve times then kill off each one of the duplicates |
|
|
The system was more logical than just jail time
The harsher the punishment, the less people will commit crime |
|
|
@slayer
No, they kill you simply
Would be cool to bring them back 11 times though |
|
|

interesting
maybe
Backstreet's back, all right! ~ officially not trash² ~ #STOPSCUBICIDE2014 |

Eye for eye would lower crime
Jail is nothing compared to getting killed back |
|
|
Because capital punishment isn't the answer to everything |
|
|
what if you stole a piece of candy from someone, but didnt have any candy when they accused you of the crime
would they give you a piece of candy then take it away from you?? or wait for that ONE MOMENT you just so happen to get a piece of candy then slap it out of your hand
idk man this sounds too confusing to be effective |
|
|
@mikey this isnt capital punishment, it is eye for an eye |
|
|
also generally speaking the idea of "an eye for an eye" is viewed as barbaric in modern society and any developed country would be shunned for practicing it |
|
|
|
"The sad thing is I forgot who said that."
That statement was originally provided by "Mohandas Gandhi".
Adding an "Eye-For-An-Eye" based system would create various ethical issues. |

@Anony
not to mention the literal interpretation which is basically "If some bastard blinds you, we'll blind him back"
honestly it's just really ineffective and looked down upon and correctional facilities could work much better provided they aren't completely insane |
|
|
Wouldn't this teach people that revenge is always the answer? |
|
|
"Just because" is not a reason not to implement something
"its looked down on generally in developed countries" is a just because statement |
|
|
@CatBoy
Greek mythology already did that |
|
|
@Cat
it teaches them that they wont just go to a jail for it and go lol totally worth it
they get what they did back to them |
|
|
Well, you could start a petition about this if you wanted to. |

I hate that saying |
|

"Wouldn't this teach people that revenge is always the answer?"
It would work in both directions.
Individuals often retaliate against 'unethical' behavior of the government by mimicking their actions.
On the end of the spectrum, however, It would likely encourage individuals to develop an aversion towards the behavior provided by the government. |
