Some aboriginal tribes in Australia still maintain the practice of stabbing offenders (usually in the thigh) as instant retribution for crimes. The stabbing rights are afforded to the victims family.
Personally I consider this to be torture (which sometimes leads to death through islation and infection, not to mention a complete lack of compassion for the stabee (?)).
The Aborigines, of course, do not share my opinion.
Good=Evil=Opinion=Inability to comprehend that which is perfectly acceptable to others=My brain melting.
