Ive never thought about that, but I don't know that I agree with that.

But that is not my point. You are nonetheless admitting that criminals should be judged. Of course it should be fair. But again, who decides what is "fair" ?

Do people "need" revenge? Why do people seek revenge?
Well I never said that criminals shouldn't be judged. I'm only talkin about death penalty here.
People want revenge, I wouldn't say they need it, they need to get reparation. When a murderer goes to jail, thats a reparation for the victims, but its not vengeance, its just what he deserves.
But when a murderer is murdered, it creates more murderers. Its not justice, its lex talionis.
Why do people seek revenge? Thats a good question, maybe you should make a thread about it.
