180. You know how it is with some people...
... they say they want "justice", when all they really want is "to get even". That is not justice for anyone, and it neglects mercy. Anytime that a justice system leaves behind mercy, all you will be left with is vengance.

The really ironic thing is that some people who advocate for this "justice" have never even been a victim of prejudice, hate, or crime against their person. I'm not saying that you have to have something bad happen to you before you can work for the good, but it really sucks when you have people arguing theory when you have real victims who have lived out being victims.

Working for a real justice system that treats all people equally requires real work, in the real world. I do it, and I can tell you, its tiring, frustrating and not fun some of the time. I think people enjoy being able to sit in the comfort of thier own homes and throw insults at people over percieved "slights" and cry about the "system being unfair" because it is easy. Don't even have to get up off your ass or think hard.

Anyway, thats just my two cents.

Peace :hippie:
