Guillotine: (per wiki) "...as the French Revolution progressed, the National Assembly researched a new method to be used on all condemned people regardless of class. Their concerns contributed to the idea that the purpose of capital punishment was simply to end life rather than to inflict pain."

"The machine was successful as it was considered a humane form of execution,"

...and all these years later and all the current methods (chair,shots, etc) are still no better than the Guillotine. Zero progress

I don't follow.

How is an injection "no better than" and "zero progress" compared to decapitation?

And what about ripping someone's head off and smashing it with a giant meat tenderizer? Isn't that progress?

Is it that you're taking an anti-capital-punishment stance? If not, what do you mean?

By zero progress I meant that if a state accepts a policy of capital punishment, I find it incredulous that the current mechanism of killing a person are so flawed and primitive. While the video of this post is a parody - one that demonstrates "new" technology - it is a shame that we don't have a very advance way to end a life. One that performs the task immediately, painlessly with absolute reliability.

!! Fuck me!

Maybe when faced with the unavoidable cruelty of killing a human being...

...maybe we don't 'double down' and try to get more creative with our process. Maybe we just stop.

Maybe.

A campaign to stop capital punishment and a campaign to make the death penalty more painless and reliable are not mutually exclusive. It is alot easier to take an all-or-nothing uncompromising moral stance when you are not the one on death row.

What do you mean zero progress? France has been against the death penalty for years!

Oh, you mean zero progress in America?

That's a bit of a dog bites man story, isn't it?

I dunno about any need for a sarcasm tag here -- I think if I was on death row and I could choose the method of my own execution, "death by large quantity of explosives" sounds pretty good.

Guillotine and hanging might be lowest on my list. Electric chair not much better. Lethal injection a bit higher. I think if I could make my own suggestions, I'd ask for cannon / howitzer aimed at my head. Barring that, I guess I'd order "the Cobain" -- shotgun to the brain. Basically, I figure that the more thorough and quick, the better.

Oh America (the private dinner party for which an inhuman few have placards and a place setting reserved at the bloodfeast for) knows exactly what it's doing: Creating the problem and providing a pathetic solution by orchestrating an ever-burgeoning and increasingly violent criminal element in the general population, then providing the solution: Institutionalization through an exclusive prison/enforcement/business/slavery model.

Capital punishment should be meted-out to the individual at the time of the witnessed infraction, legalize homicide. Begin with the perpetrators and complicit thugs who created the machine described above.

Apart from the fact that executing people is wrong and useless, what's the fuss about? Just get a damn shotgun. Aim it right and it'll work with absolute efficency. If makes you feel bad to blow deathrow inmates' heads away, maybe you shouldn't do it in the first place. Executing people was, is and will never be clean and humane, it'll only appear that way. Just like war.
Don't go into the kitchen if you can't stand the heat.

And why exactly dont we just fuck them to death?
