Doran Martell and the Sand Snakes are spurred into action. Oberyn's death is the impetus for Myrcella's revolution, and I *think* (but I could be wrong) also why Quentyn was sent to Essos. So loooooooooootttts of things just happened!

I think since most physical bullying is experience by people in High School that just happens to be where we draw most of our experience and conclusions from.So, considering that your argument here is specifically aimed at people who are adults I can better understand the logic and reasoning behind it. However, I'd still argue that even adults learn, and we already have a system largely how you suggest called prison. People get beaten and raped there all the time regardless of the crime. But many people come out just as bad or worse than they were before.

Not at all. Prison is the humane, non-violent alternative to physical punishment. Its failure is evidence in my favor.

However, once that line is crossed is it not also important to try to make it so crossing the line can have the most minimal amount of damage possible?
Or if we can't do that, at least learn how to react once over the line so if you're out their again it's not even worse for you the second time?

No. If balance and control and good-natured teaching and discipline are insufficient to maintain order, then the sum of human accomplishment throughout history has failed to reach this individual. There can be no mercy in this situation. You can't 'just shoot him a little.' When force is required it cannot be tempered, or it will fail. Cavemen and clubs. And if the offender comes out the other side more-or-less intact, then you can try to teach him again.

To withhold a righteous fury is not mercy. By depriving the criminal of the consequences of his actions, you have doomed him to repeat his miscreant ways.

....and slowly, I'm gathering that this is actually a thread about high school again, in which case you should pretty much ignore all this as 'real world shit,' and return to classroom discussion. The learning process is part of the equation here, one I'm taking as a given; if the subject is 'while you're still in school,' then that process isn't complete yet. I obviously don't think we should be smashing 9th graders' faces with rocks when they sneak out of detention.

You put too much emphasis on your so-called philosophy. At the end of the day we're shadows and dust, Maximus. We're whiffs of smoke, we're monkeys with fancy rocks. What you think you believe is of little consequence. The things that matter aren't in Albany, or in Washington. Sort your shit.

If you can't want the life you have, you'll never have the life you want.

Oberyn is the first Dornishman to die in the war for the iron throne. He will not be the last. His death accomplished more than you can fathom.
