Adachi 772 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 You would at least knock some teeth out, right? Or leave a black eye? Well you wouldn't have to necessarily kill the person, but at least teach the person the meaning of life, if you know what I mean. I dunno. The old me likely would've killed him if I had the ability to. But ever since I got into spirituality, I've learned that it's wrong to answer violence with violence. Although if I did have to knock him out for self defense, I would probably hit him harder than necessary (I'm only human, and God would forgive me anyways, because I know he would feel my pain). 1 “I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I see, I respect your religious viewpoint on this.

It's definitely something that needs a ton of thought on, and could take years before you find what's right for you. I've pretty much looked at a lot of belief systems and spent many years comparing different belief systems, and just what it was I wanted. Although in the end, all belief systems rooted in love are good. There really is no wrong answer (unless your religion does harm to others, but thankfully, there's not too many of those). 1 “I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obstacle 1 21 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 Well you wouldn't have to necessarily kill the person, but at least teach the person the meaning of life, if you know what I mean. Brilliant, brilliant comment. Teach someone how wrong they are by committing inhumane actions, and even ultimately killing them. Your replies to brutal and gory comments are extremely positive feedback and to those who don't put gruesome rebuttals you urge them to do something. How hypocritical. When I read The Chamber by John Grisham, I learned that if you really want someone to repent all of their crimes and learn how valuable life is, put them in a 6'x9' cell, for as long as you want, and let them understand that there will come the day in which they will be executed. The feeling of waking up to the sight of the same cell to wear the same clothes and only to realise you are approaching your set date of death is worse than any other torture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribbonfree 2,383 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 (edited) I don't have the heart or courage to kill. I honestly cannot imagine myself wanting revenge under any circumstances, I'm not really that kind of person. But then, you never know what will happen until it happens. And that goes for the rest of you. Edited May 16, 2014 by Lil' Strapless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although then again, Nakoruru is gentle but ended up turning into Rera (even if only a short time). We all have a dark side, and even if one says they'll never harm another, if someone killed a family member or a close friend, who knows what kind of rage we'll feel. “I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man’s reasoning powers are not above the monkey’s.” — Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, honestly I don't care for letting them live physically, but to destroy their mental state is what really matters. I'd want the person to feel as broken as the hearts of the families' victims.

Destroy the mental state of Mother Earth? I swear, this is so stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banul 3,831 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 Torturing the killer doesn't bring the victim back. I think doing something like that to another human being, even a bad one, changes you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milky Jade 138 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Well, yeah, it does if you think murder cannot be justified and basically take the law to a meaningless extrapolation. It also does if you think that half the world is out to stab someone's elses eyeballs. Here is what I think: If anyone initiates force, you're within rights to act out as much force as it needed to lay down the initial threat. That is to say, you may shoot a mad axe-man in the head if it would prevent an innocent person from being halved. Ideally, you should only use as much force as is needed to lay down the compulsion. Realistically, a little bit more than that is needed. Now, how does "an eye for an eye" tune in? The mad axe-man has already halved your friend: Because you have nothing to gain from shooting him anymore, now, after your friend's removal, you lost all your right to shoot the axe-man. And if *that* isn't going to make the whole world blind (read: halved), then I don't know what is. I see it's a bit of an absurd example, but that kind of mistake *does* happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,334 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 I'm not sure if I would go right away to the violence route, but I'm sure as hell I would whip out my phone and record the crime scene to the best of my abilities. Or grab the nearest eyewitness, whatever. I would need to get as much information as I could so later I can have some real fun in the courtroom. The culprit can wait. I'll need some time to prepare my eventual revenge, and it will involve twenty crates of C4 and a blimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluttershyfan94 5,742 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 I know not everyone would become some bloodthirsty demon or something. But personally I would, I would torture that person until its only wish is to die. When that would be achieved I would flay that person alive. Decapitate them and more much more. But like I say, most wouldn't. Besides rotting in prison could also do them good but if not then that.

ReverseFaller 2,483 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 I wish I could forgive the killer, like this man did. http://youtu.be/EIkywrKVWAo However, I know I couldn't. I would more than likely try to kill the killer himself. I wouldn't want to torture them for weeks, or months on end. I don't want to become the monster I'm trying to stop. I would most likely shoot them to death. Credit for the signature goes to Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnarok 52 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 (edited) When I read The Chamber by John Grisham, I learned that if you really want someone to repent all of their crimes and learn how valuable life is, put them in a 6'x9' cell, for as long as you want, and let them understand that there will come the day in which they will be executed. The feeling of waking up to the sight of the same cell to wear the same clothes and only to realise you are approaching your set date of death is worse than any other torture. I believe that solitary confinement in prison would make one realize the value of life. However, I doubt that you could ever make them repent for the actual crime they committed. Imprisonment enforces compliance by placing a harsh disincentive on committing crimes that harm a collective society: murder, theft, rape, ect. However, this process does little to make the prisoners reevaluate their values, morals, ethics, or virtues when it comes to life. I don't think that punishment alone is an insufficient stimulus to make one actually realize what they did was fundamentally wrong and then to emotionally feel bad that they had punished someone else (the first step). It's not repentance if they regret being in prison, that's simply negative reinforcement behavior training that is also used on animals and repeated based on instinct.

Castle Bleck 19,366 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 (edited) Of course, it would all depend on whether they were, say, a schizophrenic or a sociopath; I'd forgive the schizo, but the socio would get the "live autopsy" thing for sure.

The most demonic thing we can do is use foul language and weapons I think you underestimate exactly what humans can be driven to do. :3 Paralyze them with a drug, put them under a reflective ceiling, and then let them watch their own autopsy.

Hive King 2,001 May 16, 2014 Share May 16, 2014 (edited) I'm fairly sure that some of the people in this thread have lost their fucking minds, either that or they're under the "Internet Badass Syndrome" OT: I would haul ass and run away screaming. The person is dead and gone, no point in grieving over them if I'm about to die. Once I escape and get over the shock, I'd just tell the police a description and try to forget the whole thing. I'd have to be retarded to take revenge, the chances of me dying or having the law hunt me down is too high Random note, I'd just be uncomfortable doing that to anyone. I don't like hurting people if they are helpless(which they'd have to be for me to do anything). Now, if I was given a choice, I wouldn't give them the death penalty, I'd just let them live in jail. It's the best thing I could do in that situation EDIT: Jesus Christ, I'm fairly sure Jigsaw just hacked the entire forums Edited May 16, 2014 by Evil Dragon Master 1 "Aren’t we the same?
