Execution methods...

[HydrogenBond]

In a Three Stooges episode, the Stooges were asked whether they wanted to be burnt at the stake or have their heads chopped off. Curly picked being burned at the steak, "because a hot steak is better than a cold chop, anytime".

Haha - good one, HydrogenBond! :(

 

Coming back to the morbid topic at hand, though -

 

Let's say an inmate is a serious masochist, and his time is coming. So, now they have to dust off all the equipment and see that everything's in working nick, and then battle with the pro-lifers who insist that electrocution is wrong, so they decide on gas, and get flack for it because gas is inhumane, and they decide on lethal injection, and then the lifers crap themselves over how terrible that must be, and then the inmate says: "Listen up, mateys, you wanna off me, just hook me up to a couple o' wild horses and pull me apart - matter of fact, there's this ranch right next to the prison, and the farmer said he'll lend you a couple to do the deed. Rip me to pieces with wild horses? Mmmmm! Exciting!" (being a masochist and all).

 

What would the protocol be in a case like this? The inmate came up with the cheapest possible solution, and the final result will be the same.

 

Huh? :(

Our culture has become more feminized where "big mother", knows whats best for all her cultural children. Big mother does not think in a logical or practical way but bases her judgements on the subjectivity of emotions and the appeasement of fear. Being a woman, she is easy to lie to, if one has a good line of bull and innate charm. She is the ideal mistress for polititians.

 

The way the game works is first create anxiety where it did not exist before. Next, you look big mother right in the eyes, and tell her what she wants to hear so you can lower the anxiety that was created. Hardened criminals without heart or conscience, have feelings too.

Interesting, Boerseum. Here, if the officer lets the inmate have his way, he might as well shoot him in the head and get it over with.

 

In fact, it would be very 'humane' if we allowed the condemned to select his way of death.

Take Panjandrum's case, she'll get curiosity salvation(although I feel that she is not actually serious). Take my case. I'll select Nitrous Oxide poisoning, the most pleasureable death possible.

Quite the analogy,HydrogenBond.Try running that one by any of the female family members you may have,and report back to us,hopefully in one piece(sujectivity of emotion can be unpredictable and and dangerous).Perhaps you should mix your bull and charm at a different ratio.

I think you are confusing femininity with emo-ness. Ive met pleny of men who base thier descisions on emotion, and they usually dont even have the veneer of reason that a woman will apply.

Oh? You think we're easy to lie to, do you? You dont think that the female advantage with language and socialisation would make us the better liars? Do you imagine that when a woman goes along with what you want, she does it because you have fooled her?

Its about social control, not emo parenting. You keep people anxious so they keep letting you do what you want in the name of 'security'. And last time I checked, most world leaders were men, not fems.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather.

Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

State executions are murder and should be stopped.

This is a popular joke. Like all jokes, it looses something when explained, but here it is:

 

Grandfather died peacefully, in his sleep. He fell asleep while driving. He was driving a vehicle filled with passengers, who, unlike the peacefully sleeping Grandfather, were screaming in terror.

Thanks CraigD. Never heard that one.Sometimes you need to flaunt your ignorance in order to learn.:)
