MrBrownJay1:


here is something you should consider....
- some people (men) in Nigeria get beaten black and blue and/or killed for stealing....yes or no?
- if yes, then this is what could happen to a thief, right?
- if it is, then why do you automatically dismiss that she could be killed?

as i earlier said... anything that happens to her, she will deserve it (even death) because you cannot dictate how a mad person would react to such crime.



now you are going off the deep end while talking about whats "morally" right or wrong.... that is not the issue here. we ALL know whats right or wrong, but as i said earlier, when you do a wrongful act, you have A) no more right to demand that people treat you rightfully and B) should expect/accept anything that is done as a retaliation to your wrongful action (and whatever you get would be right). thus why, in Nigeria, if caught stealing, you can get a tap on the wrist, a beating black and blue, a disgrace by undressing you or even DEATH.

is it right? probably not, but if/when you decide to do a wrongful act, thats what you should expect from the REALITY OF LIFE! aka a wrongful reaction,.

btw homosexuality, capital punishment and/or marrying children is a rightful act in some part of the world... you may not see it that way but they do. so "your" moral is different than the "moral" of the next man. so if we indeed gave a damn about the morality of this issue (while i certainly dont) then any course of action would be right depending on what the victim decides that should be done upon that thief. you cant possibly impòse "your" morality upon others.

[/color]That you committed a crime or wronged someone, you should not expect anything higher than the offence, it is not right, you can charge the person to court even in your wrong act.
There is objective norm of morality, truth is one. Truth is the same whether in Nigeria or China.

Because people get killed for stealing petty things in the country doesn't make it right or acceptable. The barbaric humans involved are even worse off than the culprits. Murder and stealing ain't on the same page. Take a group of students protesting for whatever reason as an example, then the police officers or military gets involved and as usual they were pelted with stones. Are the officers supposed to respond with lethal force even with the madness and anger at that moment? Ofcourse not. But say a scenario of robbers, armed with rifles. A corresponding lethal force would be engaged. That's basic common sense. We are in this mess with police officers because of your argument, they feel they can kill citizens who were unruly at will because it was in the heat of the moment, that temporary madness you cited comes to play. Which isn't acceptable. But like I said earlier, to each his or her own...we as humans must definitely have different opinions.
