    What would you think appropriate if that girl was your daughter? I think the victim is in the best position to judge what has been done to them. Its her face and eyes after all.

    Not at all. You fuck some guy's wife, you deserve a kick in the nutsack.

    That wasn't the illustration I was painting, so don't twist what I was saying.

    It's simple, if someone is pissed off at you, maybe you enraged them, and are partly to blame.

    But if some random prank causes you harm, you are not to blame.

    Being harmed is more tragic in the 2nd instance therefore.

    Yeah, but it's not blamless, that's my point. If someone has a lapse of judgment and takes a cellphone call while driving, and while distracted, rear ends another car, causing injury, they are to blame. If there's blame, I'm asking does 'an eye for an eye' apply? They chose to answer the call knowing the potential outcome. I don't see why some people think the circumstances differ.

    It rather depends on the lapse. I see too many people using cellphones while driving. That sort of lapse is not excusable.
