If you are starving, I mean STARVING, you'll go to the nearest store. You wouldn't care about the punishment.
Given these choices id choose jail that has room and board and health care. I have enough friends with prison ministries to watch out for me for 6 months. And i have friends who know how to sue the system if something goes wrong.
The other choice doesnt specify if I could lose an eye or suffer brain damage. Im already messed up enough as is. No thanks.
Of course id rather starve to death and turn it into a protest hunger strike for a good cause. Ive threatened to go on strike against the unconstitutional BS in govt anyway. Id just go out making a political statement. Good riddance, the world would celebrate peace and quiet!
The purpose of laws is to establish a social contract between ppl
Or between ppl amd govt.
In this case you didnt give options like going to a charity that would be legal.
The constitutional laws are supposed to provide some means of petitioning for redress of grievances or for CIVIL due process.
So offering to beat someone up is still assault and against the law.
To stay within laws the storeowner could buy food and have the debtor work certain hours or pay back with money.
Some ppl have resolved theft this way to drop charges. They redressed the grievances themselves and agreed to a contract.
??? Thats it? So disappointing. I got the concept of social contracts from 8th grade history without reading anything Greek.
You still have 49,994 words if you want to elaborate more, my love.
I will treasure every word!
Can you explain Retributive vs Restorative justice? In plain English ie without lapsing into Emilyspeak and turning into me?
Teach me more O Wilful One.
