I believe that sometimes our fate is predetermined. All of us are destined to die. However, fate mostly depends on the decisions we make and the consequences of those decisions. Every choice we make has a consequence and we have to grow through, whether it brings good report to you, or it gives you a bad name.

An accomplice is just as guilty as the person who commits the crime. People would say that the accomplice did not harm or kill anyone. However, the accomplice helps aid the criminal in the criminal act, he may supply the materials needed to carry out the evil deed, and he may be assigned to be a lookout in case someone sees them.

5. I believe you should get done to you whatever you did to somebody else. If you stab someone 30 times your sentence should be to be stabbed 30 times.
2. I think it is natural for people to want power because it makes them feel superior. To be a king is something many people want to do.

1. I believe that everything happens for a reason.

5. I think that it's only ok to kill in return if the killing was done purposefully. If someone killed someone for no reason they should be get the death penalty. But if someone killed someone out of self defense, then they should not be killed for defending themselves.
