    That’s a regressive way of thinking. Revenge doesn’t actually feel good once you are done, it feels wrong. Put them in a rehabilitative program so that they will learn why what they did was wrong, and how much harm they did to themselves and others.

      Nah, revenge feels pretty damn good.

      Do the rehabilitation thing because it’s the civilised thing to do, not because it feels better. It doesn’t, we’re still violent stupid monkeys, not that deep inside.
