Quote:Did you mean, "Now days it "COULD NOT" get you a lethal injection?In Texas you COULD GET the death penalty for murder. Hanging a horse theft would count as murder.
Quote:ust a small note. The days when it was imperative to hang horse thieves, back then, when you stole another man's horse, you took away his livelihood, his way to make a living. If he was camped out in the wilderness and woke up to a missing horse, it could become a matter of life and death. It was a case of contributing to another mans inability to survive in that wilderness.Ok replace horse with car or truck. Your using the a horse is someone lively hood as a false correlation. Hanging horse thefts applied to more then horses. The only requirement to hang someone was the community agree that you where wronged. It did not matter how you where wronged. People where hung for hunting wild game on someone else land.
Very few issues that people have moral or immoral opinions on have governed by laws. Remember you may think morallity is something people agree on. The truth is morality is subjective. And just like your opinion on promiscuity is an individual opinion not a known fact.
Quote:Even today, in some parts of the globe, the behavior of what the characters on Grimm committed, could mean jail time. In a few places, for women, even justified killings.And in a lot of places if you don't live by kill of be killed you would be dead. In a lot of places you can be killed just because someone does not like you. does not agree with you. or they they simple think it is funny to see your brains on the floor. I understand your understanding of what is appropriate when it comes to violence. But many places are extremely violent and people live by the laws of nature instead of the laws of man.
Quote:Who's moral standards are you looking to use? Yours? Theirs? Ours???????That is the problem. You feel someone has the ability to define what is moral and what is immoral. Morality is the rules an individual lives by. It should not be the rules someone uses to govern someone else actions. Example you see someone running down the street naked. You may see it as immoral or indecent. That does not make it immoral or indecent. Consider in the 50 a bikini on the beach would get you arrested for indecent exposure. Not anymore even though nothing has changed in the law. But even now some still see wearing a bikini as indecent.
