I'm not flaming,
but I don't totally agree. The lesson learned is that the culture is messed up. Women are 'guilty' for refusing men's demands. That is what has to be addressed. I hope the guy rots in a prison cell for the rest of his life (like you, as an atheist i can't hope for a higher power to make good). If they could take his eyes and give them to her, I'd approve. But blinding him does little. Like the death penalty, people who commit these sick crimes don't consider the consequences as they think they are right/immune/in such a rage they don't think at all. So nasty retribution might give some satisfaction, but won't stop it happening again.

Thanks for not flaming :)
again, I once used to think along the same lines, but how long do we have to wait? how many years do we have to say "we'll take the high road" and wait for philisteins (sp?) to fall into line with us?
We acn be as moral as we like but some people will just never learn without a clear red light - an eye for an eye (if you'll excuse the religious conotations)
Some people need to know catagorically that if they do AB or C then AB or C will be returned to them!!!
I just know that at a decent hour and without the help (or hinderance) of 14 vodkas that I would be able to defend my corner more eloquently, however as it is you are all stuck with an enebriated angry me! (apologies) xx

actually as an addendum and after considering your post, maybe the courts 'should harvest his eyes and donate his corneas to a blind recipient? Would that not serve both as a punishment and a deterrent?
Maybe the girl in question would then have her need for revenge and justice quelled if she knew that the perp was being punished but also someone else was being served?
Who knows what the answer is, I for one hope that the twunt who threw the acid rots away in a hell of his own making!

This seriously tests my moral fibre.
Part of me agrees with her stance, part is horrified by the whole 'get what you give'law. However, if Sharia law exists, then those that defy it know what is likely to happen.
I guess there isn't much difference to American murderers getting lethal injections.
I have no point.This is one of those cases where it is easy to get reactionary and anger-filled.Thank god i never studied law.I am still battling with myself.
