Today in class is the day Jevan and I taught the class and let me tell you it was one darn well taught class. We had to get three laws from Hammurabi's code.
1. If a slave says to his master: "You are not my master," if they convict him his master shall cut off his ear.
I think with this one that it would make more sense to cut the slaves tongue out so he could not speak.

2. If a son strike his father, his hands shall be hewn off.
This is one makes sense so ya I guess for this time it would be fine.

3. If any one is committing a robbery and is caught, then he shall be put to death.
This one i agree with for that time of the earth.
