Message | That's strange, I thought vengence stopped being a good reason for criminal punishments a long time ago. The death penalty accomplishes nothing but vengence, so I fail to see how it has a place in a civilized nation. |

Message | There is a difference between blind vengeance and justice, and sometimes justice demands vengeance. Deterrence is another factor. Potential murderers will think twice if they know their own necks will be on the line if they are caught. Alf Borghild (Chief Gothi of the Hete Brorskap) |
