I guess this thread of discussion is getting moot and semantic, but I do find it curious that someone would say "that person deserves to be in a motel room", without that motel room indicating some kind of punishment (revenge). "deserves" indicates that he should suffer somehow, i maintain.
> Just as an example, Christianity is pretty big on the concept of retribution. While it does say that it's God's job rather than man's, that doesn't change that it declares bad people deserve punishment independent of the deterrence factor.
Excellent point! You are speaking in strictly logical terms though, which is why i referenced dialectics earlier. It is very hard to discuss this subject meaningfully if you're ignoring all the intricacies of real life. I.e. we do not send people to prison to do gods job of retribution.
