I don't understand why the whole 'execution' thing is done humanely. If you're going to get sentenced to death for killing multiple people, shouldn't you suffer before you die?
I think that is why there is an increase in opposition to the death penalty. The current methods are deemed such an easy way out compared to life sentencing, while any death worse than what we have would be considered too barbaric by today's standards to ever be legal.
While I see the point, isn't that a step backwards in terms of humanity? It'd be like going back to doing public hangings. We're meant to be 'civilised'.
Welcome to a discussion thread. Please, expand your point... Whilst making the person suffer more before death may sound like a good idea, I doubt law would ever allow it, as nfell said, it would almost be a step back for humanity.
I was messing around. I don't think it should be insanely inhumane. Like public hangings, but I also don't think they should get a nice shower a big meal and a small needle.
They should televise it. 10/10 would watch. It'd be like rich people in Britain about 80+ years ago. Child: "Muuum, are there any hangings on today?" Mum: "Yes, there is! Let's pack a picnic! Sweetie, go to the shop and buy some coke! We're leaving at 12!" Child: "Yes! I can't wait to see that guy snap his neck and choke to death!" Meanwhile, the poor people had no NHS and were living in Liverpudlian slums, and couldn't afford to go to public hangings. I bet they missed out on a lot... #MostOfThisWasSarcasm #AllOfThisWasAJoke #PleaseDon'tPutMeInTheColosseum
Funded by UKIP! (well they probably wouldn't, but things like labour wouldn't work since they aren't pro-death)
I think the whole ordeal goes back to the judges, lawyers, etc... being over-payed and being overly lenient. If the court cases didn't cost so much money, i'd say just kill him and get it over with... An old saying 'do unto others as they do unto you" ...aka - "you kill someone, you're getting just rewards" ...aka 'karma' The whole reason not as many people are killed is because it costs so much money, and people are too scared to take the risk - yeah someone might be innocent, but there are more guilty than innocent - so why not take the risk? The united states has the highest incarceration rate - yet the studies show that the prisoners food is better prepped, and you get better meals than in schools (and is cheaper) ... it is required to get an education in most prisons now, where in school you can drop out ... and the prisoners are able to be paid for work ... Prisons are set up better than students in schools, yet cost thousands of dollars more per prisoner than student? Once again falls back to the governments fault, and people being scared of doing 'inhuman punishment' ... If you're in prison, you shouldn't get paid ... you would work for the food provided to you, and the place you're staying, but you don't keep any money ... then in spare time you would provide societal services for free, to help aid things you helped disturb... If you're on death row, or life in prison, it would be easier to honestly just kill them, than to wait say 40-70 years for them to croak or be killed... and would save the governments a lot of money... you don't need to pay lawyers to do the job of someone to determine if he/she is dead ... or if it's just/not just ... they already had initial lawyers determine if he/she was going to prison... yet, that's why we stay behind in societal norms, is people are too scared to determine things themselves, they need others to determine their own for-thoughts....and individuals keep having lawyers come 'talk to them' as if he/she is getting out of prison, even though they're on death row... There's the 1/1,000 chance the death row victim is innocent ...but say it's at most 3,000,000 dollars per death row case ... if they did away with the whole case and just did it - 999/1000 cases thrown away, and them just killed would save us almost 3 billion dollars ... That's the individuals in washington, but on average in the us, it's about 620,000 per case - and there are 3,002 death rows this year since april 1st Which would still be about 1.8 billion http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/death-row-inmates-state-and-size-death-row-year
I just seen this. Russia are far from a superpower. Pretty much all of the western world have placed sanctions on them which has destroyed their economy, if they attempted to invade Europe like they seem to want to do, their military wouldn't get very far, and they are not what the Soviet Union was in the 20th century. Even the UK is more of a superpower than them, and it lost that status (kinda, it was the prime colonial power for about 200+ years) in 1945. Britain has the commonwealth, one of the only World Cities (NYC and London are the only two ), and England's capital is the pretty much financial centre of the world. Russia are mostly just a laughing stock, sharing their comedic values with the rest of the world. Good guy Russia: Sees how depressed some people are in the west, sends hilarious 'We'll nuke you' threats and tries to invade European countries - getting sanctions placed on them, causing their civilians to not like their government and their economy to crumble :c Erm, wat? Over here, they don't get paid for the labour they do in prison. And their beds are disgusting. Paying them for that stuff is stupid.
