Look, here's the deal. Whether or not we agree with their laws is not the point. The point is that they have the right to have their own laws and punishments in their country. Just as we do. It may seem ridiculous to us but for them, that is their way of life and has been forever. When you know the rules BEFOREHAND and know the punishments if you break the rules, do you really have an argument? Personally, I don't feel like you do.

I feel everyone is entitled to an opinion (hopefully one that reflects knowledge of all sides of the topic), and I respect all that you wrote. However, I don't necessarily agree with it, which is fine. Let's plug slavery into your equation above, as an example. What you wrote was also true for this "law", but that didn't make it right or just, and I think it's a pretty good thing that it no longer exists in our country.
