We are all entitled to our own opinions so moving on….Taffyfish, I’m sorry if my answer was not clear, but I believe the subject is important enough to try once more. In the absence of anything further directed at me personally, I shall then move on.
I do believe that some questions, but by no means all, can be insulting, particularly if they suggest something negative about the person to whom they are directed.
I do not believe in an eye for an eye even for my own child. As I said, it is a destructive and ultimately unfruitful course of action.
However as an emotional reaction to any hurt to people I care about, it would be dishonest for me to pretend I would feel otherwise. Predictably, I would want revenge, but I do not believe that my personal revenge is a good basis for law, otherwise my old sixth form head would be subject to torture even now, for hurts real and imagined.
One of the functions of law is to enhance a society’s chances of survival, so it is important to prevent the kind of public vendettas which I believe my human instincts would provoke.
Even in the case of my own child, the punishment of any person convicted of a crime against them should, most emphatically, NOT be the enactment of the same crime on the guilty by the state or anyone else, despite any hurt or anger felt on my own part.
Like i said…moving on…. :?

If it had been my daughter I would not want to stop at disfigurement.
Taffyfish, what I meant when I said that was that if it was my daughter I would have wanted to kill him slowly, painfully and savagely, not just injure him. Does that answer your question? It might be worth reading the rest of my comments on the subject.
No prison would be harsh enough for anyone who hurt someone I care for. But my personal vengeance would help put society into a dark age as the associates of the avengee would want their revenge on me and on and on and on. And believe me, if it did happen, pray you were not nearby because I would be even less concerned about collateral damage than Tony Blair.
So please don’t try to dismiss my comments by suggesting that I would be happy to see the killer of my kid in any kind of ‘luxury’. It does you no favours and is insulting.
Thank you for clearing that up Words…kind of…so you do believe in an eye for an eye for your child.
Also if asking you a question was insulting then i apologise!!

=D> =D> =D> =D>Planking….is that wots know as a group of the planks in JC??
:lol: :lol: :- :lol: :lol:
grrrrrrrr
I understand what you are saying Words but would you still feel the same if it was one of your children??
Would you be happy for the person who raped, killed,or maimed your child to live the rest of his/her life in luxury in our so called justice system?Wot punishment fits the rape and killing of a young child thats wot id like to know??
Sitting comfy in a prison cell watching tv, playing game consoles and 3 meals a day..hmmmm!!
I say give him to the mother of the child!!
Anyway thats just my opinion.injustice
Hell Yeah!!!!
Im sure if it was your family member you would feel the same. If anyone did that that to anyone i loved i would want retribution.
One of my old school mates was killed by a drunk driver, he was 17 at the time and the driver got a fine and a 2 yr driving ban…please tell me where the justice is in that??
Also look at Ian Huntley..killed two little girls, their families will suffer forever and hes in prision having guards sent out to buy him a certain chocolate bar as there wasnt any in the prison tuck shop…wot the fk was that about??
We are far too lenient and into human rights and political correctness to dish out any proper punishments…if you cant do the time dont do the crime!! Simples..!!
