I think that if you violate's someone elses rights you fortify your own. Our societies are sliding into anarchy. You can't smack your children any more and now look at Britain school system. Parents have abdicated responsibility and the teachers have no way to enforce the rules. Where I am I have actually seen things get progressivly worse in the past five years as I grew up. I'm only 20 and there's a massive generation gap between people my age and those three or four years younger.

If there is a murder then the convicted can be executed justifiably in my view. However if you have that law then you NEVER re-open the case. If the individual was innocent it doesn't actually matter so long as society believes he was guilty. Its a sad truth that a less corrupt force is less effective. Now Justice is not only done less it is seen to be done less.

Its the balance between protecting society and the individual. Currently it is too far to the latter. I think its hard to find the balance but I have no problem saying that if someone raped or killed my sister I'd cut his belly open before the Police got to him.
