The story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah begins with god wanting to destroy these two cities. God, being reasonable and just, decides to talk with Abraham before completely destroying these two cities. Abraham bargains with god himself, and eventually the two reach the conclusion that if the cities hosts ten pure people, god will not burn them to the ground. God then sends two angels to scout out ten pure souls - the angels stay at Abraham's nephew's house. These angels, however, create an opposite effect and cause a frenzy of men who want to have homosexual sex with them. Yes, two people come to town and instantly every man and his father wants to have sex with them. Abraham's Nephew (Lot) even offers his two virgin daughters to the mob, but they become infuriated and violently pursue the newcomers. Lot, his daughters, and the angels eventually escape the mob's wrath and God rains burning sulfur on the towns.
I believe there is unfair punishment in the world, and there will always be unfair punishment. There will always be situations where those in higher power feel an action deserves a more severe punishment then necessary. To me, no punishment is needed as long as an action does not directly harm or have the potential to harm other people. Therefore, it would be unfair to punish the following actions: using your phone during class (provided it's not a disruption), using your computer in class, being late to class, not going to class (in this sense being punished would be like going to detention, something like a zero a participation category would be fair because you didn't really earn those points), open-carrying a firearm to class (joke). I'm sure there are other unfair things that are punishable; however, it was easiest to list school rules because they are a majority of the rules I face daily - also I don't break the law very often.
