It depends but over all I think it is OK.\n\nyou do want to be as honest and truthful as you can. But face it, truth can hurt and being too honest can get you into trouble. You have a perfectly good point, what do you say? Be honest and hurt their feeling, or lie and keep it to yourself.  Unfortunately it really depends on a lot of things as to which way is right. For instance (in this case), are they serious, or fishing for a complement? How can you tell which one?\n\nReligiously, yes a Lie is a sin; but, of course, so is killing (an extreme). But as we can see in the bible, even that can be justifiable in certain aspects.\n\nGood luck

Why does everybody think its better to hit the person who has more harder for the same thing? You committed the crime you suffer the punishment, whatever it is. It's the same mentality as these people who claim that rich people get off light on crimes. I think its all a matter of resenting those who have money and a desire to take it away from them. Go out and earn it yourself if you want to be rich.\n\nWhy should the penalty for speeding be a monetary fine? Why shouldn't it be something more appropriate like picking up litter along the highway? Seems a lot more sensible to me. The reason its money is so the government has another excuse to reach into your pocket. Why are you so eager to take money from one group to give to the government?

oral is moral, if you don't someone else will

Correction, more than a hundred countries still have death penalties, some still using firing squads, public hangings, stoning and three still chop off the victim's heads.\nFor Christians the problem is one of bending "Thou shall not kill."  For others it may or may not be a moral issue.\nPersonally, I do not see any moral action in killing a human to punish him or her for killing another.

yes..an eye for an eye...each person should be held responsible for their own action and should be punished/rewarded to what he/she has done to others

It's about the greater good and it could be applied to most things. Would it better to kill one person or let many more die? Would you then be responsible for their others death if you did nothing? And would you be able to live with the guilt thereafter if you did nothing? But if it came to a choice of killing one person of them killing my loved ones then i would certainly kill that one person. However, i could not hoestly answer if it was unknown people about to be killed. I would like to think i could but, in reality, would I and would anyone else?

There is no reason for you to feel guilty.  Was he worried about hitting you ? was he worried about giving you a swollen face ? He should loose his friends and his job.  Truth is the longer he goes thinking he's not really doing anything wrong the worse he will get.  If more and more people come down on him for his actions and more and more people know about it the better it will be for everyone involved.  Now he has to answer to more people than just you.  That might change his actions.

Yes. By using the example of the immorality of others, feel free to commit crimes. Sheesh.

I have beaten the crap out of people. in my youth. and two people are permanently hurt. one,his left  eye looks to the side. the other. well he is deformed. I would  NOT hurt anyone now. for a million dollars, unless in self defense..I have killed two men in self defense. If I could have avoided it I would have. when you hurt someone. some people will regret it. some wont. depends on the individual.

I would say that NOBODY should be hitting anybody! Violence is never the right answer. If you have to resort to hitting someone, then the problem is not going to be resolved, it will only ADD to the problem! If you are having an adult to adult argument, then argue like adults and keep your hands to yourself!

Morally it is wrong...but emotionally it's hard.  As much as you know right from wrong, it's hard when your heart feels something for this person.

Just what you do with them ? I agree , a killing is a killing and I think it started with an eye for a eye or revenge . \nAs it says in the Bible , " Vengeance is mine , " saith the Lord and I don't seem to remember him saying , that it's alright to kill someone that hurts you . \nAm I right or wrong , just asking ? If your against killing baby's then why not against all killings \n But do we really help society , by killing one another .?\n Does it really deter  murderers , doesn't seem to , in the studies I've seen .

No way, it isn't worth the risk.  Once a guy hits you he has crossed a line.  If you take him back you will just be telling him that it was ok for him to do that because you will eventually forgive him.

Personally I think we should treat those cruel to animals the same.  If they beat an animal...they should be beaten.  Starved, maimed...all the same.  Humans are supposed to have a higher intellect.  Well, I sure havn't noticed it.  I view cruelty to animals as some impotent man trying to get his jollies somewhere else...

I beleive that once you have commited a heinous crime against another human being, not petty thfts, but say theft with an agrivated assault thrown in, that you automatically lose all rights as being treated like a human being. You shoot a criminal in your house after he or she has just brutalized your family, and now he can sue you for assault ? Screw that, I will shoot him dead and let him try to sue me for that ?\n\nBefore someone tries to say that me killing a criminal in my own house is just as wrong, I will tell you that defending your family and property to an uninvited guest is NOT criminal, and would most likely be considered justifiable homicide.

No, Morality is personal.  Rules are for everyone.\n\nRules can be set to try and set some kind of moral backing, but it is up to the person whether or not they want to follow the rules.
