Random Poll of the Day! (113)

Postby Kor » October 3rd, 2010, 1:33 pm

Credit goes to Eve.
I know I promised yesterday that today's poll will involve a video, but I've been way too busy today, and tomorrow I have an audition, so I couldn't do it today.
Anyway regarding this poll, I had some trouble with the question since I believe ANY execution is inhumane and prisoners shouldn't be executed. Give them life-long time in jail, but I don't see the point in answering death with death. BUT, it was Eve who came up with the question, so I didn't want to change it.
I also used only the methods which are used in these days (so that's the reason why you don't see crucifixion here).

Regarding what I think stoning is probably the worst.

Prison is supposed to be for rehabilitation, not just for keeping criminals out of the public.  The point of the death sentence is to remove those who are seen as heinous and unable to be rehabilitated, so time and money can be spent on those who can actually be "fixed".

Also, stoning is clearly the most inhuman, followed by the gas chamber.

What? :P I don't see your point :V

I think Gas Chamber is the worst though, there was one description from a witness (for real) seeing the "victim" eyes just bugged out... and well..... it was by far the worst :P though the one about the electric chair smelling like burnt meat afterward was.... well....

What is stoning exactly? (And no pic please.)

Do you know if you can edit the poll and enter the selection 'all of them are inhumane' or 'I'm against executioning'?

Germany, France, England, Spain, Australia, Brazil, Israel, Canada......(and the list goes on) - don't use execution these days.

Stoning - people throw stones at you until you're dead (also from what I heard, your body is buried in the ground except your head, so your head is the only target. I could be wrong though)

Regarding the adding an option thing - then most people (or at least half) would choose that vote, and then there is no real need for this poll since what the majority picks would be obvious (or I might be wrong and there are many pro-execution here.....)

Torn between stoning and gas chamber, but I picked gas chamber in the end.

Well, if execution is inhumane, then what should we do with serial killers?
