Justice is justice, and is required for a functioning society. We see where being overly lenient and not enforcing justice has caused us to end up.

  There’s a whole spectrum between law enforcement and prosecutors doing the basics of their job as a deterrent and cutting off people’s hands. Are we too lenient? Sure! Should we cut off hands? Hell no. This isn’t the Middle Ages.

    It's only applied in certain specific situations. Again, justice is justice. "Middle ages" is non-conducive to the argument and just straw manning.

      This isn’t an argument. This would have to be an argument for me to be straw manning, and if this were an argument that would not be a correct use of the phrase “straw manning” because the word you are looking for is “contempt”. There is no room in our society for this form of savagery and it is both against our laws and at this point of time our customs. I can’t control what a man thinks to himself privately even if he should grow past it, but please do not advocate that Middle Ages era nonsense here. We’re done here.

        Dismissing something as "middle ages" with only emotional arguments such as "savagery" or "nonsense" isn't really making a point. If "customs" are causing societal decline, maybe we should rethink them. Justice is justice.
