I got an idea why not give her back an e-Y-e so that she can judge you all assuming she is blind

I suggest that justice is more akin to mercy than vengeance.So then what do you suggest?
:cover: That is as far from just as justice could be.Justice is not letting the committee of injustice be satisfied, and having the victim be satisfied. Example, a man takes a woman hostage, raped her, then she get free, ties him up, keeps him in a closet and tortures him for fun, that's justice. Both victim and and rapist, in that situation, have the levels of satisfaction required for it to be considered justice.
Justice is the integration of unity and diversity.I think we can all agree that justice is something we should strive for, but what is it? What does justice look like? Is it an eye for an eye, or is that outdated? If it's outdated, what do you think has or should have replaced it?

Elaborate.
Perhaps justice isn't lynching Saddam Hussein but removing him from society where he can't do any harm.
Generally, the most merciful solution is the most just. A course of action that is based on vengeance or "the eye for an eye" philosophy is unjust and merely breeds more hatred. That's my view anyway...
I think that's what Doppleganger meant....
But Dopp also suggested in another thread that values and the notions of good and evil were largely meaningless, thus wouldn't it follow that the notions of vengeance and mercy are also largely meaningless? If we shouldn't get upset if someone rapes a child, then why should we get upset if someone were to smash their balls with a sledgehammer in retaliation?
No, a mongrel is a mixed-breed. It has nothing to do with sex.[/quote

You are correct, all this time when asked the sex of any of my dogs ,I have always answered, 'mongrel' for male, and '*****' =bich, for female. Thank you for correcting me, and so, this forum is not gender biased as was accused by me.
That's a backhanded way of giving an apology.
Justice lies in not doing harm in the first place. Retribution and reparations might (or might not) make the ones harmed feel better, but can never undo the harm that was done.
What an idiotic statement! Of course the execution of the person who has murdered your entire family will not undo that which had been done, but you can rest assured that the person who knowingly and deliberately took the life of your family, and who had forfieted their own right to live, aint never ganna murder no one elses family, which they could and more than likely would, if it was up to those who don't want a person to be held accountable for their actions.
