A system that allows the deliberately crippling of human beings is offensive to me. To justify such thing because it teaches others something is double offensive.

maybe it's you that is bereft?? such is karma, some folks like to make such an excuse, when the fact of it is, that the "victim" made the choice to go through it themselves when they first victimized another, free will, every single one of us creates our own pain for ourselves, its just as simple as that...when someone does something bad to another, they bring that same act upon themselves in their own future, the powers that be arent bereft, it is we that are...
