Cyberbullying Murder, theft, or arson are extremely fair reasons to put someone in jail, but is cyberbullying? Would people just be wasting the jury's time and taxpayers resources on cyberbullying cases or would it be a worthy idea? Some people believe that it is a good reason to prosecute a person, but it is undoubtedly not superb logic. Cyberbullying is by no means a acceptable thing, but someone should not be criminally prosecuted for it. The article, Sacrificing the First Amendment to…

from cruel and unusual punishment, therefore its limit to what you can do to a person found guilty of murder. I agree with the court’s special verdict, guilty of murder. There punishment should simply mirror the offense. They should be sentenced to death. Stephens and Dudley were in fear that they would eventually die at sea. There was no food, no water, and no signs of ship to rescue them. In their selfish they decided…

Sodomy was considered a crime in many countries and their colonies; it was only decriminalized by those countries that followed the French legal model, which considered crime only the behaviour that harmed third parties.

Regardless, whether the person is killed, the one to kill, or among those who simply watch, all are victims to a deformity in humanity in the increasing amount of deaths just to attain a certain law and order. The testament The Furies are not evil. In fact, if I were to be asked I would say that they represent the better good part between bad and good.

undetermined if capital punishment is a public good due to the definition of a public good as something that is universal and a benefit to all people. Thereby, the basis of the death penalty may not fit the definition of a public good because it disrupts the satisfaction of others' (Meerman, 1980).

This article is about not bringing back the death penalty in Nebraska. I completely agree that there should not be a death penalty, it is not something that is needed. I don't believe that there is ever a reason to dehumanize another human being.

I feel that life in prison is sufficient enough for the individuals that do these heinous thing. I agree that it is…
