NO EVERYTHING CAN BE PAID FOR HERE

TATHY ARNAUD @evelyne1 (9) 9 Jun 22

There are people who live with the consequences of their evil deeds on earth, for example, by going to prison, becoming ill, losing everything they owned, etc. On the other hand, there are people who, despite the evil they have...

Let the punishment fit the crime

Teddy @ThreeTeddies (2038) • United Kingdom 3 Feb 19

I am a believer in the old-fashioned biblical way of 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth' . If someone commits a crime then the courts should impose a suitable sentence. I'm not too concerned about crimes against property...

Tattle-tell or not?

mrdprince @mrdprince (293) • United States 3 Oct 15

If you should see someone stealing electricity, would you tattle-tell on them? It is against the law and a crime. Or would you feel compassion and think that they have no other choice, giving the benefit of the doubt and...

Turning the other cheek

clrumfelt @clrumfelt (5597) • Tennessee Ridge, Tennessee 30 Apr 08

Matthew 5:39 says if someone hits us on our right cheek we should turn to him the other cheek also. I know a man who says he agrees with that, but if the person hits the other cheek the Bible doesn't say what to do next(...

Do you believe in the death penalty? If so what are your reasons?

tomysole @tomysole (457) • United States 22 Aug 07

I believe in the death penalty for cold blooded murderers because I don't think those type of people should be allowed to eat up the tax money in our jails. Not only that they cause trouble in jail and many times kill, hurt, or...

oldiebut @oldiebut (859) • Canada 28 Apr 07

I was sitting here watching a ball game when they replayed a old fight involving the Yankees. I got to thinking (who knows why) about who I would pick to go a few rounds with. I came to two conclusions, one personal and one...

Should prisons be for rehabilitation or punishment? Is removal from society punishment in itself? Should 'life' mean life? Please let me know how you would personally address the prison problems we have - I would be really...

Do you believe in justice or retribution? Is "an eye for an eye" justice, or merely revenge?
