I know where the Pob is, for the right price, we could talk.Is ';an eye for an eye, a tooth for


a tooth'; fair in all cases?
No it should be a life for a life
law of the land come in the way
The priciple only works if you're playing with 'Mr. Potato Head'.
This is one of the most misunderstood phrases in the Bible.





It is meant to limit revenge (personal or state-initiated) to the severity of the original crime, and no more.





It is not meant to say that if somebody plucks out your eye, you must do the same to them.
No sometimes it's an eye for a tooth or a tooth for an eye.
what
no , there may be mitigating circumstances , plus you have to find me first !
No it is not fair in all cases.


I prefer ';revenge is best served cold'; if your still angry a year later then you should do something about it.
nop
Nothing is ever fair in all cases
YES ITS REALLY truth and if you not do this you can be failure in all way
Yes apart from sexual offences then feed then to the lions.
An ';eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'; is fair and just, but mercy and forgiveness is far more powerful
I'm sorry I've got to say it .


';An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind'; Mahatma Gandhi
No,it depends on the circumstances of each individual case.
No not in all cases...like that old man who murdered his wife...he done it to stop her suffering because of her illness, but he shouldn't be put to death because he done it....in fact i think the judge gave him community service.
What happens when the offender has no eyes or teeth? I suppose you would have to substitute other parts, like a thumb for a bum, a willy for a left toe, boobs for knees etc.
I think so.
no.

old testament - no. It is more like ';do unto your neighbor as YOU WOULD HAVE them do unto you';





so basically treat others how you would like to be treated, not as they treat you.
Yes revenge is a dish best served cold
No, not fair every time. There are always exceptions.


For instance, mentally ill people who commit crimes- unknowingly. Now I'll admit, this is a defense used WAY too often by simply sane people who lost control. Too bad for those who truly need to use that line.
only when its your child.
No as in the UK we do not have the death penalty for people that commit murders.





The quote you refer to is draconian and Neanderthalic, I think the bible also says something about turning the other cheek.





I can see why you would say that eye for an eye is fair, as when I was assaulted all I wanted to do to my attacker was kick the hell out of him, but I am tiny and that would not have been possible, so I figured the best way to get redress is seek legal justice.





So I guess what I am saying here is that 'an eye for an eye' does not have to be physical or taken literally.





Also in the UK we have the Criminal Cases compensation and I imagine if someone ripped your eye out or pulled your tooth out you would get a substantial amount of compensation.
