Is it right to hurt bad people? (Read first before posting)

I'm not much a man of faith, and I am aware of the cruel world we live in, but I still ask the question. Is it right to hurt people that you deem worthy of the infliction? I think most of us will quickly say yeah, but wait a minute, and actually imagine yourself smashing the daylights out of some bully. Then think for a moment, does this make me a bad person too? Does this make me no better than this bully? I don't like the idea of someone doing something bad, and not being punished for it, but (and I don't really believe in things after-life related) what if we get judged or something of the sort in the after-life. Like what if when we die- hypothetically, we are somehow judged morally overall as a person in a second, and it turns out that physically brutalizing or even killing a "bad" person was a bad thing to do...? What gives us the right to believe that "we" are right, in making that choice?

Of course! Who cares if it makes you look bad simply because society looks at it that way, you are serving natural justice in a cruel, painful way! The same way Batman beats the crap out of bank robbers, or having a bullet put to the back of your skull by the Punisher.tzar3

That's like 100% of the world :P We're all bad peopleGaming-Planet

That's why I said someone you deem bad. With my question, we have to assume that you assume, you are a good person- atleast to some degree.

my girlfriend says im a bad boy (im a 19 year old teen).lol

and yes it is right overwise mgss raiden wouldnt av killed vamp

people who do evil such as rape, mass murder/genocide, child abuse/rape, dont deserve pitty imo

imhuman like that

its right only to hurt people physicially in self defense

its right to hurt people emotionally when it will benefit them at some point or give them some sort of reality check.

thats my two cents at least.

Never, ever hurt someone unprovoked though or without cause.

Let karma take care of them and if that doesn't work you can take the place of karma.rickybobby38

hmmm that sounds like a really good movie. Parents have a kid, name him Karma, he grows into a 6'6'' badass dude who goes around setting things right.

the question is really, "Is it right to hurt people i don't like?"NullCelot

Exactly. Unlike movies, stories, or games, nobody has "evil" labeled above their heads. There is no red glowing aura around ones body...

Of course! Who cares if it makes you look bad simply because society looks at it that way, you are serving natural justice in a cruel, painful way! The same way Batman beats the crap out of bank robbers, or having a bullet put to the back of your skull by the Punisher.tzar3

Or getting cut to pieces by Dexter:P

karma will get people who do bad things. the more bad stuff you do, the harder karma screws you in the end. I've seen it happen and boy was it funny.XilePrincess

Can you always rely on karma? Sometimes, I'd like to know for sure if someone who messed with me gets punished somehow, instead of hoping and never knowing, "karma" will catch up with him. The latter is why some people use combat to ensure their wishes come true- right then and there, and not a few years down the road.

We all deserve to die, Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I

Nothing beyond self-defense or defense of others. Retribution purely for the sake of revenge, when the person is no longer in any position to hurt someone, helps nothing, and only serves to make you into what you hate. "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich NietzscheGabuEx

I think Yoda said something similar.

Also, in regard to this topic, I'd like to say that God gave me a fist for a reason.
