I bet working in a prison he has met a few, and probably knows them better than he would like to.Quote:

But, would I hurt the others in his life?
Why is his/her brother/sister/mother/daughter/son to be punished for something he/she did?
How did they deserve it?
Like in the other story, " A Good Marriage " the BTK killer " came up, and how the real life`s BTK killers wife Paula never knew anything about the monster that Dennis Rader was and is.
Why is she to suffer for something he did?
Do you punish the innocent ones for something somebody else has done, just to make him/her feel bad?
What about them? What evil have they done?
Dear Uncle Stevie, thanks you once again..it`s always food for thought with you, Sai.
Oh, I don`t doubt that, of course he does.Quote:

Yeah. I know a guy. Brought me down. A Low Man with a beaming voice and a perfectly fake smile. I got away, but that distasteful anchor is still tugging on me, dauging me down. I don't read the local paper much these days, but I always read the bottom of the front page, hoping to see his name in the Obit Notice. If I outlive him, I will attend his funeral and place a single red rose on his grave. In that scenario, I hope that I can contain my happy tears until I walk away from the few other folks in attendance.
I liked the "Fair Extension" story. It was a fair extension of the "Thinner" pie.
The question didn't specify it had to be a friend though, just someone in your life. They can be in your life because they have done something bad/hurtful to you or those you care about, not necessarily because you are friends. I most certainly would never dream of doing anything remotely bad to my friends, or I would not be friends with them in the first place. I am very picky about who I allow myself to be close to, so NO I would never consider doing anything harmful to a friend.Quote:

Then I'd pull up a chair, get some pop corn, and sit back to watch/enjoy the show.

That's the best revenge IMO.

Srbo, I understand what you're asking AND saying...yes, I DO know quite a few-both at work and in the community...I would-without remorse, hurt THEM as long and hard as I possibly could...and by "extension" family that had caused or enabled their behavior, but not the innocent...I don't fancy myself Judge, Jury or Executioner-but when it comes to those that hurt, maim and destroy little ones-I would pull the trigger, flip the switch, drop the trapdoor etc, without compunction and I make no apology for it...
Point taken, thank you, my friend.Quote:
