Ahh..Gandi..i think it was. So do any of you guys believe in the Hamurabis code? (" an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth") In modern times, Some1 kills a person that person gets killed thats Modern Time version of Hamurabi's Code, and if you guys dont know who Hamurabi was, he was the Emperor of Babylon (present day Iraq and parts of Iran). Some countries dont even have capital punishment.. such as France. Anyway.. My idea is that in som cases you just have to take that persons life away, in other cases because emotions play a BIG role in this subject. Some people may argue killing that person may not make you happy because killing him/her will not bring back the loved one and will still be sad even though the killer is now killed. Some may be happy because that is what they really wanted. In both cases it will lead to the same thing, if the killer has been sentenced to death, that person will still be sad.
