The Code of Hammurabi is a well-preserved Babylonian code of law of ancient Mesopotamia, dating back to about 1754 BC (Middle Chronology). It is one of the oldest deciphered writings of significant length in the world. The sixth Babylonian king, Hammurabi, enacted the code, and partial copies exist on a 2.25 metre (7.5 ft) stone stele and consists of 282 laws, with scaled punishments, adjusting "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" (lex talionis)[1] as graded depending on social status, of slave versus free man or woman.[2]

What is the difference between hate speech and incitement to genocide??
Sveta_85 [38]
<span>"What is the difference between hate speech and direct and public incitement to commit genocide? The Rwanda Media Case emphasized that incitement to commit genocide required a calling on the audience (be they listeners or readers) to take action of some kind. Absent such a call, inflammatory language may qualify as hate speech but does not constitute incitement. In many jurisdictions hate speech itself has been criminalized."

No, this is not a public good. Firefighters work for money and save lives for a living. The government already provides this good to the public, by hiring the firefighters. In my opinion, the government should always provide this good, if someone is in the dire help of need and has no way out of fixing it, ex. fire, then who would be able to save them? The public? I wouldn't think so. A public good is defined as a fundraising organization raising money, or doing something for no profit.
