[QUOTE="Lee, post: 112795, member: 1301"] I'm from the UK over here life typicaly means 20 years, however the initial question was what sort of sentance do I feel is justified for murder, I picked my words very carefully when I answered and said I belive that internment for life is a just sentance for murder. I can't speak for the state of prision life in India, nor the corruption you speak of, what I can speak about is morality and logic. It makes no logical sense to kill a man for killing a man, and moraly it drags us down to the same level as the murderer. This moral bankruptsy, we have a chance to show ourselves as better people than those who kill. If we choose to act in the same way as those people, then are we any better than them? To punish a man for killing, by killing him, does make us as bad as him, it does and I am dismayed to find people that do not realise this, or even worse, do realise it but brush it under the carpet as being of no concequence. I have always found this line of reasoning odd. Let me explian the line of reasoning goes something like this: 'Why should my tax dollars be spent on this(enter thing you disagree with)?' The fact is that we all pay tax and in an ideal world we then elect the kind of goverment that will spend this tax on things that we see value in. That is all we can do, if we don't like it then we can use our vote. However goverment is there for all the people, so all goverments are bound to make unpopular choices, this too is fine though. Rather like lady 'Justice' goverment should be blind to one side or the other and do only that which is best for all of it's peoples. So if you don't want your goverment to spend your taxes on the prision system, then you have every right to use your vote to get rid of them. However I have said that a society IS measured (amongst other things) by the way it treats it's criminals, I can never see the death penalty being reinstated in the UK I do not believe it's people would allow it. Its a valid question Kanwardeep ji. When a crime has been commited it is moraly correct that the perputrater is caught, tried, and punished for that crime. Yes it is true that putting a kidnapper into prision is a similar punishment to the crime he has commited, but it is the same punishment as a mugger, or a drug dealer, or a burgler can expect. So we punish all crime in the same way, incareration, we take a criminals freedom from them for a specified amout of time. To take somebodys life from them though, even as a punishment for a crime is not moraly correct. As I asked, why is it that murder in most societies on Earth is seen as immoral? [/QUOTE]
