    id gladly shoot them in the balls, piss on them then chop off their head slowly with a fingernail file. let me know if it can be arranged.

    they shave their heads to become a better conductor.

    I kinda like where this line of thought is leading. When protecting society, I think there is a strong moral argument for the death penalty.

    I know a upstanding, nice guy -- good father, good friend, good American citizen, good Christian, all that stuff. When he was working in Saudi Arabi as part of his job for an American oil company, he and some of his fellow American co-workers would go into town to watch the public whippings, etc. He thought it was a pretty interesting thing to watch, and to be honest, I can't fault him for that.

    Sure, I personally think the death penalty is inhumane, but I'm just used to American states having the death penalty as part of their criminal justice system, so it doesn't bother me that much.

    It's interesting to wonder that if an American state is going to use the death penalty, why not allow members of the general public to come witness the execution if they so wanted to? Wouldn't that help increase the deterrent factor? Say everybody had either gone to a public execution, or had heard the details of it from others who had gone to a public execution, wouldn't the threat of the death penalty be more on the minds of possible would-be murderers, acting more as a deterrent to them from actually going through with murdering somebody?

    So is allowing Pam Ward to call football games, but they still allow that.

    You'd have to do away with lethal injection. Not sure how many people would turn up and pay to watch a feller just lie there and fall asleep.
    We could use one of George Carlin's ideas: Public Beheadings.
    Have the head roll down a hill and into one of however many holes we choose. Let the audience gamble on which hole it will fall into.

    i remember seeing some show long ago where they concluded there was enough oxygen in your brain to see your body for a few seconds once it dropped in the bucket*.

    *if it fell upright i suppose.

    i wrote mythbusters but they didnt reply.
