Doesn't make damaging/stealing a car correct tho does it? You are wrong there and your thinking is getting even more muddled. Car damage/theft is handled by the insurance company and the more theft there is the more it cost the honest people in life. Theft, shop lifting and giving things that don't belong to you away are all just plain theft and pushes the cost up for everyone else. |

| 728308 | 2008-12-17 20:51:00 | Yip, it probably is a good thing he is dead. He did no good. The milk of human kindness eh? Thing is, there is a basic moral (and legal) concept involved here called "equivalence" - ie: that the punishment fits the crime. It's what the Jewish legal concept of "eye for an eye" is all about - rather than being literal, it expresses the concept of equivalence (and was unique in an ancient society for that). This is why the law does not give the power to imprison people for life for vandalism. That is not an equivalent sanction for the crime. In fact, I cannot think of any crime against property that warrants life imprisonment. However, manslaughter is a crime against the person - and the law views this very much more seriously. I might add that the person who committed the manslaughter is deeply remorseful about what happened. By this he shows more character and depth in his moral view than many people have on this thread. |
