3 Fold Law, 10 Fold Law, Etc..., what you think about it? Options

I've read in many places (especially Wicca and Neo-Pagan related) that the 3-fold or 10-fold laws are very real. Yet again in other places I read that it was an invention in the 1970s and is only bogus to scare people.

But im always neutral in such matters so i've no say.

What do you think?

I would like to use an analogy I found on www.obsidianmirror.com:
If I throw a French Fry at you, then you have to throw 3 pack, then I have to throw 9 back, and so on and so forth. The 10 fold law is obviously EVEN worse. Thats like me trowing one fry ant you and you throwing 10 back at me, then don't i have to throw 100 at you, then you throw 1000?? So thats my take on it.

Still using my fry analogy, I DO beileive in the Karmic law, because if I throw a fry at you, then you should be expected to throw one back...

I seem to agree with that logical approach moreso than what many religious beliefs have used in order to scare people, but remember...
depending on "who" the person is the consequences could be 3-folded, 10-folded, 20-folded, or none. Ghandi wouldn't attack his enemies...

Also note that many killers, thieves, kidnappers, etc... have gotten away with what they do and no one found out, due to good planning and wise decisions in their plans. Is a God or many Gods going to punish him? would they care? that depends on the personal belief, thus why I said the karma is what the individual makes out of it.
