36. The eye for an eye crowd, who don't realize they're using the same energy.

Or something to that effect.

the reason for the scripture, was that in some cultures the whole family was killed or some retribution worse than the crime at hand was committed to balance it.

Raping these rapists just breeds another gang of rapists, public rape leads to more public rape. Which is what some say should be done, without taking that fact into account. People should consider what they ask for, and that put them in stocks comment in the thread is the same mentality as the Abu Graib perps.

IOW, vengeance instead of justice, which allegedly started this event. Although I don't think it was the beginning. There is a culture that regards anyone vulnerable as prey or even livestock.

It's the lowest thing that a human being can become, to assign oneself that role in life. They are all degraded beyond belief and unworthy of freedom. We are what we do and in the spiritual realm or the subconscious we are what we feel.

JMHO.
