Not being able to torture, maim or murder someone is a good thing. Really. If you're not sure about this, you'll just have to take my word on it.
But, thats pretty far off-topic. The essence of my point still stands, even if you disagree with the wording of it. Just because someone else did something wrong doesn't give you a license to do the same.
- bobds 16y agoAn eye for an eye is not about torturing, maiming or murdering anyone. It's a metaphor. Taking down their website for a few hours, is fairly close to harmless. I agree that they shouldn't be doing this. If they really want an eye for an eye they should sue them to oblivion. That I think would be quite appropriate.
- chrischen 16y ago> Taking down their website for a few hours, is fairly close to harmless. That just makes it even more stupid. Not only does it not accomplish anything, but it's illegal and stoops down to their level. You'd basically sacrifice principal for nothing except a little "gotcha back" feeling.
- sp332 16y ago> Not being able to torture, maim or murder someone is a good thing. Apologies for being totally misleading in my earlier post, because I agree with you. It was the best philosophy of retaliation until "turn the other cheek" came along, which I much prefer. > Just because someone else did something wrong doesn't give you a license to do the same. Morally, it doesn't. Legally, sometimes (self-defense and all that). Probably not this time.
