Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Revenge is an imperfect mechanism to accomplish the real good of stopping those that harm people.
"To The Pain" is a much better solution as it leaves a lasting example and warming to others.
"'To the pain' means that the first thing you lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists, next your nose... The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right. [...] Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why: so that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish; every babe that weeps at your approach; every woman who cries out, 'Dear God! What is that thing?' will echo in your perfect ears. That is what 'to the pain' means; it means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever."
— Westley, The Princess Bride
While I tend to agree from an emotional and comeuppance perspective, stuff like zero tolerance laws a d "law and order" policies tend to show tackling the source and causes of crime for most to be more effective than a harsh punishment, with similar things with rehabilitation. That said, some people just gotta die. For everyone else's sake, or they just keep repeating their actions.
You're absolutely right, we should rehabilitate most people as best we can but also just straight up murder sonsabtiches of a certain caliber.

I feel like this is where The Northman shines.
Certainly not moral, belivieng that pain should be avoided or respect for life itself.
I prefer the old logic.
