NO, some people don't deserve justice, which is covered in this: "Justice is also what some people deserve to receive and others not."

"Justice is also what some people deserve to receive and others not."
if they dont deserve justice and still receive it, then justice aint served

Exaclty, your statement is included in mine by implication.

yeah but the question was about justice not injustice

Justice and injustice is one and the same - it's all relative.

Justice is a "just act of reprisal or a just result to a situation"

Injustice is an "unust act of reprisal or a unjust result to a situation"

They are not one in the same, they are different.

kharma, let me enlighten you - 'Justice' and 'Injustice' are relative concepts - very subjective. So, a certain 'just' act might be 'unjust' to someone else and vice versa. The subjectivity of these concepts make them alternate in meaning from one extreme to another, which renders them equal in meaning and exactly the same.

in that case
justice is when people really get what they deserve
should cover the lot

'Justice' is relative and 'deserve' is relative as well. There can never be 100% agreement on what someone or people really deserve, it's all relative. So your argument falls flat on its back.

as long as it is a majority it stands its gorund

Justice implies morality.. the morals you carry may or may not be just to other cultures or individuals

thats why you get what you deserves is neutral

So, finti, the majority is always right? Majority proofs nothing - it's a weak argument.

a majority desicion will create a winner which again prooves that majority wins
