fuck death penalty. Sure the man killed looots of people, but death penalty is just WRONG. animals,im telling you, they are all animales!

We'll see how you react when someone you love is taken in such a sensless and violent fashion. It's an extreme form of punishment, however some crimes have no other reaction.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #3 on:** Dec 30, 2006, 07:55:10 PM »

No one has the right to kill another person. That there's a law that says capital punishment is ok, it's just ludacris.

Derrick · « **Reply #4 on:** Dec 30, 2006, 08:56:24 PM »

Of course no one has that right, but the punishment is more for the others in the population rather than the direct violation against the individual. While it is a vile thing to do, and should never be done, there's alot of things in society that should never be done and yet are done.

Fuck that. I believe in killing people that deserve to be killed. Saddam? TOTALLY had it coming. Confirmed Child Molestors? Also, death. Only none of this lethal injection crap; take a 9mm pistol, dig a hole, put the guy in, shoot'em in the head, bury him. Clean, cheap, and done.
As far as the religious angle goes, I'm failry sure some of the "God's Wrath" instances did a little more than give people "boo boo's".

I'm with E. The death penalty is fine by me. Also, whenever I've sent someone to the hospital I considered myself an instrument of all the almighty (just like Dolph in Johnny Mneumonic).

Rama · « **Reply #7 on:** Dec 31, 2006, 03:47:03 AM »

I have no opinion either way. If it was barbaric, or if he deserved it doesn't really matter now. He is dead and nothing can change that.

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 31, 2006, 09:59:14 AM »

No he isn't!

Yes, he roasts in hell with Hitler and the other traitor villians.

Bet Dante Alighieri didnt think about that one

While Sadam did do alot of good things, his genocide made him viable for a public death. I believe Bush is deserving of the same thing. This is the responsibility of the people to punish their leaders for gross crimes against humanity.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 03:13:40 AM »

Then you are a bigger imbecile than I'd originally believed you to be.

But the death penalty is a necessary part of society.

B E C K · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 04:20:42 AM »

I'm usually pro-death penalty, but something about having an execution so publicized and celebrated makes me sad.

Also, that song's now stuck in my head.

IDE · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 07:23:41 PM »

Nothing wrong with reveling in the death of your enemies in my book. Especially with a douche like this guy who you know would kill you just as soon as look at you.

B E C K · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 06:26:02 AM »

I don't see anything wrong with it either, but for whatever reason this instance is bothering me.

Rama · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 03, 2007, 10:34:11 PM »

I'm as a rule Anti-death penalty. I'm not real preachy about it, but if someone were to ask me if I thought it was wrong I'd say "Yes", but in this instance I think he may have actually got what he deserved. Hence my no opinon.

B E C K · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 04, 2007, 04:01:18 AM »

I think the mere barbarism of a hanging in this day and age bothers me the most.

Rama · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 04, 2007, 06:26:54 AM »

Yeah...if it doesn't break your neck it can take anywhere from 30-45 mins to die. Most famous case of that was in San Diego in where a man called Yankee Jim was accused of stealing a boat was hanged for it. It took 45 mins to slowly strangle to death.

Lethal Injection seems to be the least offensive to me if someone must die. You just sort of go to sleep and don't wake up.

Bullet. To the head.

Is it true that when you're hung you pop a boner and blow your final load and where that jizz falls a mandrake root is planted?

Don't forget the hanging execution of "Black Jack" Ketchum in 1901, where the distance he had to drop was miscalculated, and it ended up straight decapitating the guy. But he was an asshole, and he died instantly, so fuck him.

There have also been botched lethal injections before, and it's not always a pleasant way to die, in any case. Different folks have different body chemistries that react in different ways from time to time.

Probably the least painful involves the neck, such as hanging or guillotine, but the former is usually (as Nuri and Tom Brokaw pointed out) viewed as wild west revisited, and the latter is unacceptable in our antiseptic world. The successful snapping of the spinal cord sends the brain into immediate shock and kills it.

However, I'm of the opinion that capital punishment should reflect the crime. You shoot somebody in a robbery? Two in the back of the head. Strangle somebody in the middle of a rape? Choke with a baseball bat up your ass sideways. Crucifixion should be brought out of mothballs for the likes of such irredeemable fuckers like Charles Manson.

But when done right, hanging's as good a way to go as any.

Also, regarding IDE's mention of the hangman's boner, Wikipedia weighs in:

Quote

There is a popular myth about sexual stimulation of hanged men, due to the apparent erection some exhibited. The effect is attributed to gravity causing the blood to settle in the legs and lower torso, thereby engorging the penis. (This myth fuels the auto-erotic asphyxiation, a practice that might lead to an accidental death.)

That means the whole premise behind "Rising Sun" was total bullshit!

B E C K · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 07, 2007, 03:21:32 PM »

Wikipedia also claims that where "well hung" came from. I'll buy that when something non-Wiki-ish backs that one up.

Could you please enlighten us with what you mean by "bodies reacting on different ways"?
I thought that the lethal injection made you sleep and then you would die while sleeping.

That's provided the guillotine works correctly and takes the head off in one blow. That wasn't always the case. There is also the "living head" thing, that can't be proved or disproved considering you have be beheaded to find out. You can't really tell anyone, after that.

Futurama's already proven that.
