Controversy (single, scorpions, Religious, member, quote)

Doc.DGAF · 05-03-2006, 09:11 AM

I don't know if there's already such a thread somewhere but Imma post this one as a subsidiary to The Bitch Box. There's alot of **** that some poeple think about but don't talk about because it's too controversial. Me, I love controversey, makes life more interesting. So I'm asking, no-daring, you to post some controversial ideas or subjects here, find out if there's more out there that agree with you, or if your a lone boner!

I think the death penalty is a wonderful idea. People always get offended when that's mentioned here. If a person murders someone, they deserve to be killed themselves.

But I'd go as far as to say that if someone killed an animal that they should be executed.

Methods of execution used to carry out capital punishment have varied over time and are a source of much controversey the world over, here's a list:

Asphyxiation (or strangulation), such as by Garrotte
Blood eagle (possibly a myth)
Boiling to death
Burning, especially for religious heretics and witches on the stake
Brazen bull
Breaking on the Wheel
Burial (alive, also known as the pit)
Crucifixion
Crushing by a weight, abruptly or as a slow ordeal - see also animals
Decapitation, or beheading (as by sword, axe or guillotine)
Disembowelment
Dismemberment
Drawing and quartering (Considered by many to be the most cruel of punishments)
Drowning
Electric chair
Explosives
Flaying (skinning)
Fustuarium
Gassing
Hanging
Impalement
Lethal injection
Iron Maiden
Keelhauling (not always lethal) and walking the plank (if not fictitious)
Pressing
People shredder (Possibly mythical)
Poisoning
Sawing
Scaphism and similar methods mentioned there
Shooting can be performed either

1.by Firing squad
2.by a single shooter (such as the neck shot, often performed on a kneeling prisoner, as in the PR China)

Starvation and Dehydration (sometimes as immurement)
Stoning
Various animal-related methods

1.Tearing apart by horses, e.g. Ancient China (using five horses) or "quartering," with four horses, and in The Song of Roland
2.Attack/devouring by animals, such as dogs or wolves, as in Ancient Rome and the Biblical lion's den, by rodents (such as rats), by carnivorous fish (such as piranhas or sharks), by crabs or by insects (such as ants)
3.Poisonous stings from scorpions and bites by snakes, spiders, etcetera
Crushing by elephant or trampling by a herd or by horsemen, as practiced by the Mongolian hordes
4.Snake pit

Now what would you prefer to be the new primary form of execution?

I'd suggest that people should be executed in the manner which most closely mirrors the murder which they committed.

On capital punishment (executions), I don't think there's a definite right or wrong - its very contextual. Whether somebody should be executed for murder or any other crime depends upon the culture within which that murder was committed, the resources available to deal with inmates or to perform executions, the exact nature and reasons for the murder etc. Personally, I think that people who commit murder (except for in certain, unfortunate cases) have pretty much voided their societal right to be seen as normal humans and treated with that same respect and should instead be seen and treated as cold, hard numbers by those who make the decisions. The manner in which most murderers are dealt with should reflect what is best for the rest of society (meaning, the people who didn't murder anyone), not the murderer, although this may well be a jail sentence and rehabilitation (and not execution). What is in the best interests of the rest of society could vary from place to place.

That's what I think.

Oooh those are nasty!

I guess it depends on the crime to decide what way the person would die. For animal cruelty, I'd pick drawing and quartering.

Yeah the families of those who were murdered might feel some sort of justice then.

Not a bad idea.

**Piss Me Off** · 05-03-2006, 11:58 AM

The subtle inclusion of Iron Maiden made me laugh...

Impalement for me, sounds interesting...

Doc.DGAF · 05-03-2006, 12:02 PM

Impalement is where they stick a sharp and jagged tipped pole right up your a**! That's what I call cruel and unusual! The Romans came up with that one, crazy Italians.

bruise_violet · 05-03-2006, 12:03 PM

I'd quite like to see that.
