I don't like any of the answers. I don't believe in karma. I also don't think that taking revenge is necessarily the correct action. It all depends on the situation.

Well most people have the rule of "if someone does something wrong, tell an authority and not to take it into thier own hands" But you know a lot of the time the only evidence is the personal experience and the "wrong" committed to said person would not be nessicarily illegal, just immoral and otherwise anyone uninvolved wouldn't give a s****.
Another question about karma:
If for some reason I decided to beat a sack full of puppies to a pulp, (which I would never do for any reason) then according to "karma" the puppies deserved it because of something they did in a past life?
So in that sence anything that anyone does is "right" because it is following the will of the karmatic energy of the universe. So I don't agree with karma, it sounds really courupt to me.

I personally don't agree with karma from past lives too much (only for people I don't like 
). I do believe in karma when it comes to the stupidity of daily things. I also don't believe in "an eye for an eye" though. To me, everything depends on the circumstances surrounding the "wrongs".

Well even if not from a past life, karma dictates that the puppies deserved it. I think karma is more of a lazy way of hoping that things will turn out right.

I find that most notions of karma and free will seem to clash. If everything we do in life and everything that is done to us is a reflection of karma, then human action can't be through pure choice.

What enforces it?
There has to be something to enforce such an arbitrary rule.
Someone, something, It doesn't really matter.
But things dont happen on their own, there must be cause, effect and catalyst.
It doesn't matter what there "has to be". Some people just believe it's there, don't know why, accept it, and move on (not that everyone needs to accept it- that's just what they (and I) do). Not everything has to be questioned.
I'm sorry but I just dont bye that people get their come-uppance through some arbitrary law of physics.
What can I say, I belive in G-D, I belive in Cause Catalyst and Effect, so I'm doomed to forever question everything until I see a solid answer for why it happens.

Yeah, this is probably better as a debate topic, but two wrongs can make a right, and they can make a wrong too. It just depends on whether the second wrong has an escalating effect or a smothering effect. Like, Serbs and Albanians? Two wrongs don't make a right. World War II? Two wrongs make a right.

Recent... Happenings in my life have made me belive that two wrongs don't make a right.
But it is certainly a start.
