Rankings

gollark: They never define stuff like "the" without just using the words.

gollark: That's mostly just recursive.

gollark: I assumed you were talking about religion there initially given the phrasing, which I do consider to involve horrible punishment for dubious ethical reasons. But in general it seems to basically just mean "punishment", with connotations of "in accordance with some allegedly fair procedure(s)".

gollark: Secularly, people generally mean "punish people" when they talk about justice as far as I can tell.

gollark: Well, religiously, "justice" seems to mostly be "eternally torturing people".
