Put Women back in their place like the good ol' days.

A society that practices an eye for an eye. You murder, you get murdered by the victims family. You rob, you lose a finger. You rape, you lose your wang.

My idea isnt that WTF... Though it does fit the dangerous criteria quite nicely.

I figure if you kill someone with your free kill. Family members are going to use theres on you, and so forth. It unlocks the possiblity of whole families getting wiped out in a private war. Thusly it would make you think twice before killing anyone.

but still ..my point stands ...

for example

The Knights Templar

The Knights Templar are, perhaps, the most famous victims of the Papal Inquisition, and an excellent example of how the Inquisition could be manipulated for personal and political gain.

The Knights Templar were founded in 1119 A.D., to protect pilgrim routes to the Holy Lands. Over time, these warrior monks became key figures in the Crusades (one source estimates that over 20,000 Knights Templar were killed in the Crusades). The Templars were notable for the fact that they answered only to the Pope, and not to any local ecclesiastical authority.

In time, the Templars established local offices (called Temples) throughout Western Christendom. Always innovative, they started what is considered by many to be the first European banking system, and it was their involvement as bankers that eventually led to their downfall. By the early 1300s, King Philip IV of France was deeply in debt to the Paris Temple. In 1307, he charged the order with heresy. Charges eventually brought against the Templars included that postulants were required to deny Christ and spit on the cross, and that the Templars worshiped a mysterious head named “Baphomet” (perhaps a mangling of “Mohammed”?) These charges were never proved, except in confessions received under torture at the hands of the Inquisition.

The Inquisition of France brought the formal charges against the Templars. This was necessary because, as previously noted, the Templars were immune from local ecclesiastical jurisdiction. The Council of Vienne in 1312 officially dissolved the order, giving most of their property to a similar order, named the Hospitallers. The final part of the saga of the Knights Templar occurred in 1314, when Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay was burned alive, after recanting of his earlier confession.

After the Templars were dissolved, the French crown received cancellation of all debts owed to the Templars, as well as much of their monetary wealth

Nobody expects the Papal Inquisition!

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise. Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency. Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.
