"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind." - Mahatma Gandhi

Think about how stupid that really is... Thats almost like saying you shouldn't punish people for their actions. An eye for an eye was pobably the greatest law ever. It taught not to fuck around, or you got fucked. Take kids for example. Which kids are well-behaved and which are in juvenile hall? The kids with parents who are strict and punish/whip their kids, or the ones who get drunk and don't give a shit what the kids do?
