Be it in a good way or a bad way. KiteCross wrote: My justice is more akin to Social Darwinism y'know. "Might makes right." and "Survival of the fittest." And all that other stuff. Social Darwinism is utterly pointless and outdated in our modern world.

I wanted to know what you guys thought, What is your justice? There is always a right answer and a wrong answer to any situation. People disagree because there is at least one person in the discussion who is not educated enough about the situation to see what the right answer is. Once everyone is educated enough, the idea of justice will be much more concrete in the eyes of all.

That's the greater good. I don't know why we execute murderers, it shouldn't happen. We should provide them with the best therapy possible if they do not have a mental defect and rehabilitate their lives. Murder is morally wrong, and the only people that do it have psychological problems that can either be cured or are permanent. The ones that have mental defects can easily be retained in mental hospitals and do not pose any significant problems to society. Executing people should never be considered "for the greater good".

You do realize that the criminally insane are not sent to prison nor executed, they are sent to a psych facility. The ones who are not deemed insane are sent to prison and/or executed. Not everyone who murders or commits a crime is afflicted with a mental disorder. Some people murder because they feel they have a justifiable reason to do so, when they do not. Some people murder because they simply like to make people suffer. And another thing, mental disorders cannot be 'cured', merely stabilized (though often volatile), so that's not a viable solution.

Then murderers with mental disorders should be sent to the facility, while the rest who "feel that they have a justifiable reason to do so" should be sent to rehabilitation centers into order to have their psychological problems treated, there is no reason to execute them.

You misunderstood. The murderers with mental disorders are sent to a psychiatric facility, whilst those deemed sane, can discern right from wrong, are sent to prison or death row. And, for now, the only viable options are to keep them incarcerated with no hope of freedom or to execute them.

Taurelion 6209 cr points Send Message: 24 / M / Pennsylvania, US Offline	Permalink Reply Quote Posted 3/22/13 Justice is a plea to others to help you "get even" gilded in emotionally rousing rhetoric. Or at least that's what most people's sense of justice seems to entail. In terms of how it's utilized in practice, this pretty much hits the nail on the head: trinkit wrote:Justice is a commodity, something that is bought and sold by the wealthy and that the least powerful in society will always fall short of getting.
