But who to decide who is evil doers and who is innocent parties? The judge and jury and the court rite? So it goes back to the same thing. Laws are set by people and often it is done based on the majority perception of what is right or wrong. I don't think this is true justice. This to me is "justice" as in it fits the majority thinking of what they felt is true.

If you ask me then what is true justice then I would say I am still looking for that answer too Mr. Green [/b]

its hard to tell who's evil or innocent, after all we are already prejudiced right from the start.
laws are set to help guide these principles but.. sometimes criminals slip through the loopholes in law.
if true justice was based on what majority thinks, the world will be in big trouble..

no matter what we do to him, it wouldnt bring the little girl back..

Then can you enlighten me on how laws and justice are set in this world? If it isn't by a majority thinking then it is maybe set by a majority set of moral thinking?

Example.. do you consider incest a crime? If majority felt and think morally it is a crime then it is a crime. Now tink back juz maybe wat if there exist a majority who felt incest is the norm then would the laws be set in such a way as to dismiss incest as a crime but instead promote it as an alternative way of life ?

Laws and justice are made by Mankind and Mankind have their faults. What then should the true law and justice? That is an answer I am seeking while in the meantime the world goes on as usual.
