Should a person be stoned for commiting adultery? or a hand be cut off for stealing? If there were laws like this i doubt people would be doing either. What do you think?

Nope. There is always an equity issue. Should a person who steals a 50 cent pack of gum get his hand cut off the same way a person who steals a $15,000 diamond ring? I think there's an imbalance in this type of punishment.

I agree! There are too many child abusers, murdering and many other horendous acts of crime.
But I also think that with this should be help for the minor crimes. For example: Speeding, tickets and other things of the sort!
When we have a government that helps us and not just making this black and white.
Well will find the root of the problem instead of worrying about other countries.
For example: A man makes a mistake of speeding. OK why? When he gets the ticket... What if he only works? what if he has no papers and 5 kids? well he'll lose the car, go to jail and what about the family. There are so many factors, and it's a hard call that I have to say I would not want that responsibility! But I guess it's a nice dream...
Some people might say it would be an invasion of privacy but I see it as WE FINDS THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT!
If you have a bad job, go back to school at least these vocational ones for us adults.
If you have no paper, get them.
If you don't know english , learn it
we'll be more in touch with the community, not just these non-profit agencies.
and will trully be doing the great good for man kind.
Of coares everything would have a structure and timeline !

yes that practice is done in other countries, and still today they do it because people still steal and adultery. I think it's too harsh anyway, poor people are hungry and then that happens, and a guy or women wants a bit of fun on the side, and wow all hell breaks loose. The adultery is nobodies business but theirs.

Laws that are personal decision and do not affect others should not be stricter. My brother was recently in Singapore and they have very strict laws over there...and their country shows it. My brother says it was very clean and beautiful.
I do believe that a lot of laws should be harsher (such as punishments for small crimes such as grafitti, littering, as well as large crimes such as murder, rape, etc..)
I think it should be more like Singapore when it comes to things such as murder...if you have been proven to have murdered/raped etc...then that should be it and you should be done for. But the USA is way too liberal and it will never ever happen. I'm moving to Canada.
Well maybe not Canada...

Some countries still implement that very system throughout the world, and they never have no use for their stones and blades. Human nature is diverse, and there will always be those who deviate from socially accepted norms. But we shouldn't outweigh their crime by such an extreme punishment.

Well I agree that there should be stiffer penalties for many crimes but all of these punishments have existed before and still do in parts of the world and people still committed these crimes.Crime prevention seems to have less to do with fear of the punishment than some peoples desperation or criminal mind.

If they stoned everyone to death who committed adultery it sure would ease the problems of finding jobs and such. Our population would dwindle sooo much.

I'm all about stricter punishment for stealing but we have no right to regulate who people have sex with.

People will still do it reguardless. WIll people do it less often? Yes. Will that mean it is any better? Not nessesarly. Being inhuman to force others to be human does not nessesarly make for a better society.

Move to Iran or Saudi Arabia if you don't like the laws here and see for yourself whether you like life there.
