well, to be fair Jag, there was a biblical instruction to leave "no stone standing upon another". so the bible is definitely a bit more flexible as to the rules of war and punishment than we are.

and Jag, just to clarify - i wouldn't REALLY condone whipping you with a bicycle chain. unless, it was cleaned and sanitized first. i wouldn't want you to get an infection. sort of like before someone gets the needle, they swab the flesh around the penetration point first... no nasty infections in OUR morgue, thank you very much.

Kits - i don't view the intent of the Justice system as being simply about returning the victim to their previous condition.

the criminal has stepped out of bounds and harmed, not just the victim, but society as a whole. if the crime is severe enough then life in prison, or death are perfectly acceptable to me. i don't feel the justice system is about retribution, but rather punishment. big difference.
