Lethal Injection... Cruel and Unusual?

the best way would be to give them general amnesia, then simply submerge them in a tub of water for a few minutes. this is also good because lethal injection drugs can screw up organs for donating. a water death wouldn't have this problem, would be just as painless, if not more so, and would be quick and efficent.
 
Nitrogen asphyxiation would kill them without any chance of it hurting them. It wouldn't hurt the organs, also, but whether or not organs are harvested should be a matter for the individual and familiy of the individual involved. We don't want to become another China, which regularly kills people just to reap profits off of the organs.
 
Why do Americans, who seem to have such an innate distrust of government that they let people arm up like Arnie in Commando in case they need to overthrow it; then give it (comically in the guise of monkeyboy in Texas ho ho ho!) the right to kill citizens?

Did you guys have too many drugs in the sixties or something?

AnyOld, why are you being so irrational all of the sudden?

There are like 3 people on this site who believe in the death penalty. Stop preaching to the choir.
 
that's not what i was saying watermark. but you keep drawing your own conclusions.

I heard Dano once talking about harvesting all of the organs in an executioned persons bodies, selling them to the highest bidder, and then throwing the body out to rot. I dunno, I guess I got you guys mixed up. :P

Which of us is arguing for the death penalty?

Well, you can't deny the anti-government ethos in the US, especially from conservatives? That is, at least, their rhetoric. Or even some liberals. And I've even heard libertarians espouse pro-execution views.

Them.

Yeah, they're pretty stupid, thanks.

They don't trust that the government will keep them locked up the whole of the time putting violent offenders with high recidivism back onto the streets to harm society.

It is a trust issue.

Please. The crimes which are usually punished with life have the lowest recividism rates out of any crimes if the people are allowed on parole. It's the shame that gets them, and the fact that they're fifty whenever they get out.
 
Recividism is far lower in Britian, and even lower in Europe, where sentences are, on average, six times more lenient. Why do you think that is, Damo?

Yet they trust the government to kill its own citizens? Don't they see the innate contradiction there?

Our prison system is far from good, but that isn't a justification to give the state the right to execute its own citizens. It just means that the prison system needs reform...

They do, but they have an idealism and a sense of justice.

Anyway, I should have put a shruggy on the end. It is not one of my arguments. I argue against the death penatly and for permanent imprisonment in such cases.
