Yea i don't agree with that or know how in the fuck they even came up with it. I mean wouldn't the logical thing be to get rid of the actual offender? "Nah he's got 2 more kids after we subtract his oldest"..
What do you think if "An eye for an eye?"

Naw. I started watching that Netflix show The Confession Tapes.
If you don't know for a fact that this person did the crime, you're worse than them for punishing them for it.

Lol, it's so much better now?
Fucken a right!
Not that I pretend to know a damn thing about their laws or even anything in general about their country, how long has this law been like this? Is this some draconian way of thinking that's just never been updated from years past?

it's tied in with blood feuds, it almost never ends because there's always someone looking for revenge. this is the case in many mountain cultures. (Georgia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Albania...)
Truly sad for the innocent and the youth that were only guilty by relation. Hard to fathom even being able to think like that. I mean I usually think in terms of what if I was on the other side of this..

Depends on the nature of the crime. In certain circumstances yes, an eye for an eye is deserved.
In financial fraud, you get big businesses given tiny fines in comparison to how much money they made from whatever fraud/breach they committed. Fine them 100% and you might see companies change their behaviour, otherwise they have no 'incentive' to.
I also think those low-lifes that spray acid in people's faces (like the attacks that are now happeneing in London quite often) should be plunged into a vat of acid. I guess that's 2 eyes for an eye though.

We don't agree on much but you are spot on here it is just not a sustainable system in civilized society.

I never said they don't teach them. The new covenant is why Christian's can eat pork among the many other rules of old testament that don't apply.

We temper punishment with justice.
We take justice out of the hands of the individual to form a better society.
But it is societies responsibly to give the victims justice.
So to that end some people do shit that for justice to be served they should be locked up for life or in some cases forfeit their lives.

By evolutionary advantage I assume you mean that it makes individuals more fit to create offspring. That isn't really true these days, if it was true at any point. Vengeful, sadistic people tend to find themselves spending a lot of their prime breeding years in prison. It's probably a significant individual disadvantage.

I think people misinterpret what "eye for an eye" means. It's really about the punishment fitting the crime, not about maiming someone.

Thats the Torah. In Islam its much more complicated and not necessarily eye for an eye. Family can pardon a murderer and agree on certain compensation all the way to eye for an eye for example. There are all sorts of extenuating circumstances to any crime as well a judge must rule on before judgement can be meet out. Basically Islam is not eye for an eye in practice in most places. You also can't take law into your own hands in Islam and must be adjudicated by third parties/state.
