Praxeas, Praxeas, some talk before they think, you, my friend, seem to be typing this way.
Let's let Noah Webster help you a bit:
Quote:
Retaliation: the act of retaliating; return of like for like; reprisal.
Vengeance: infliction of injury, harm, humiliation, or the like, on a person by another who has been harmed by that person; violent revenge:
Retribution: something given or inflicted in such requital.

Now that you can see what these terms actually mean, are you still sure that NOBODY is arguing for any of these?
