Eye for an eye?

Iranian court: Man to lose eye, ear
In a literal interpretation of its eye-for-an eye law, an Iranian court orders a man to lose an eye and part of an ear.


An Iranian court has ruled that a man must lose his eye and part of an ear after he blinded and burnt an ear of another man in an acid attack

Too brutal or fair?

My logical side says that it's not right to exact these sorts of punishments, but, my irrational side says that you may as well speak his own language when exacting punishment, and anyone who would throw acid on someone else obviously doesn't think the way I do.

Bunch of knuckle dragging stone throwing morons.

Yeah, us good Christian nations don't believe in that sort of thing, no capital punishment or corporal punishment any more. Them crazy A-rabs gotta get with the program.

You're being hypocritical... This system would sound great to you if something similar happened to a family member of yours...

"If anyone threw acid on my daughters face , I'd beat the hell out of them and kill them myself"

Am i right? :lol:

So, because my uncle was murdered I should be for the death penalty? And because I was raped I should want to see perpetrators get raped? Funny but it doesn't really seem to actually work that way. And plenty of people are for 'eye for an eye' despite having never been victims of crime.

I'm sorry, but I find this comment hilarious. I see it all the time from those from the "west" when commenting on things the "east" does.

Let's see if we can list just a few things that the "west" does that I find to be just as horrendous if not worse.


Here in Canada, Abortion, the killing of an unborn child, is a "right".

In some States in the u.s.a. capital punishment is still practiced. You know, where they KILL a person for their crimes.

The "west" went to war against 2 countries in the "east" because 19 THUGS flew planes into buildings and MURDERED a whole hell of a lot of people. How many innocent people have died in retaliation?

You are F'd in the head man. So your defending this action because you have a hate on for christianity is that it?

Talk about stereo-typing, do you have any idea how many Christians are against capital punishment of any sort?

Grab a goddamn brain before you shoot your pie hole off.

I'm not even Christian and find your flippant stupidity offensive.

No, I'm saying he's being hypocritical because he wouldn't mind eye-for-an-eye system one bit.. But because it's the big bad Iranians doing it, they're "Bunch of knuckle dragging stone throwing morons."

I'm not the West Have you ever heard of me endorsing abortion?

We could argue this, but I am of two positions on this so arguing it case by case would be more practical and completely pointless because you have your own rather sweeping opinion.

Are you late for another thread about Israeli war crimes? Funny how you would defend the Iranians. EAO EAO paging EAO!

You are not the state nor am I. I don't condone capital punishment or disfigurement in this case because the law is flawed.

 

[gerryh]

my point is RCS, we in the "west" are quick to condemn laws from the "east" when in reality we are no better then they. We are not that much further "ADVANCED".

Not in this case ? So there are cases where you would? For example, if it happened to one of your family members??
Iranian law is flawed, us in west are superior morally right? lmfao.

We are so Gerry, we are flawed (agreed) but we are century past this savagery.

I'd put it a lot less than a century...... but even still, in the big scheme of things, the time line is a drop in the bucket.

Good thing your laughing your ass off, because your head is full of packing peanuts. If someone hurt one of my family members I might be inclined to beat him to death, but as I said there chuckles I am not the state. I would also face the consequences of my actions.

I would not stand on the sidelines and cheer on the state yanking out someones eyeball or ripping their ear off. Guess why? Okay wipe the stupid look off your face and I'll tell you. Because I don't want the state exacting that kind of punishment, because the state is flawed just like your idiotic comparison.

Clear enough for you.

Yes your hypocrisy is crystal clear. I called it. "Hey I don't approve of those stone-age primitives doing these eye-for-an-eye punishments"...
"However, I accept eye-for-an-eye punishments if one of my personal friends or family members have been attacked." Bahaha.

Then you say the state is flawed, well yea.. What's your point? In the United States the system if horribly flawed where innocent people are executed or jailed for 20 years until they're cleared of any wrong-doing..
Oh and how about the fact that our jails are overflowing with non-violent drug users? The point here is that we're not any better and it's a common misconception among the ignorant that we have some sort of superior judiciary system.

Nice twist on what he actually said. Too bad you're not smart enough to do it without being so blatantly dishonest.

You're not very bright and angry about it apparently.

My intelligence is not in question, yours is, and I'm not angry at all. Just pointing out how "stupid" and obviously incapable you are when it comes to using someones words against them.

Funny, I read the same thing. If you're gonna troll, at least be good at it
