Should intentionally lying andor slander be punishable with prison?
But a criminal offense means that u get thrown and locked in a cage for it, and throwing someone and locking them in a cage isn't ok response to them slandering, that's too far. Right?
Because a retaliation should be doing the same amount of harm back, if anything. Not more harm than the initial aggressor did tho. And locking someone in a cage is more harmful than slandering someone
But do you think that the consequences for slander Should be jail time?
Slander alone doesn't and can't cause any specific effects. One example that shows that is someone saying the same slandering thing to 2 ppl, and 1 person doesn't react and just says "whatever", and the other person reacts by punching the slanderer in the fact. So slander alone doesn't have any affect
I would argue that. Even if u argued that slander does have a harmful effect tho, it is objectively a less harmful effect that the affect from locking someone in a cage. Either way, locking someone in a cage isn't a properjustifiably response. Whether the slanderer did no hadm
harm or did a less amount of time. Since the proper punishment for something is doing the same amount of harm back, not more harm back
And sorry i meant affect not effect
And the reason i say that slander even if it does cause harm isn't as harmful as locking someone in a cage, is cuz physical violence and force are worsethan anything that's not physically violent or forceful. So slander, for ex, isn't as punching (or anything else physically violent or forceful)
