Capital Punishment -- pick the method of your execution
    #6522752 -

Suppose - the Unreasonable Fundamentalist Party steals the elections in your country and the first thing they do is reinstate capital punishment.

Because a capital punishment is only as good as the number of people to die by it, the UFP rounds up 10.000 people to be executed, and you are one of them.

They decided to use a dozen methods of capital punishment contemporary and historic, and allow each convict the choice of how to go.

Which of the capital punishment methods would you choose for yourself?
all these methods have historically been used as a means of formal execution.


EDIT: new and improved poll - the former was badly made.

Burning at the stake for all to see in the town square. Maybe people would stand up for themselves after seeing something like that.

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

This poll is much better, I could not leave out the firing squad, the 1000ft drop and the opt-out, and the public/private matter was important because there are only a few capital punishment consumer polls out there :frown:

My choices:

--blown up with high explosives
--private, but with cellphone vid leaked to the internet

the kaboom option seems the most humane, and perhaps the vid will help in abolishing capital punishment.

Hold the motherfuckin phone here... I thought I had already posted in this thread. :confused:

Now normally this wouldn't have freaked me out, but I'm watching Groundhog Day right now... Deja Vu.

Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.

That's a tough one.
I always say when I die I want it to be something unique. Something that will be talked/written about. I think I would go with:

1 burnt at the stake - public
2 Hanging - public
3 Crucifix - Public

I would like to have a message and go out w/ dignity, no screaming, crying, begging for my life. 1 and 3 would obviously be the hardest to maintain my dignity with but I think lots of saints went this way.

Thrown from a tower, public.

It'd be like flying until you landed. Public, just because. Maybe sell tickets and give the money to my surviving family or charity or something.

Oh, that's fine too.. but I'd rather land on the ground, not the water. How about they build a tower on a plane then throw me off that while flying way up there?

Why am I the only person who chose the hemlock?


--------------------
Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free.
But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

I chose 'sledgehammer execution by the next in line in private'. Simply because I've never heard of this method. Also, because drawing and quartering wasn't on the list. There's just something very brutal about killing someone with a sledgehammer then having the same thing done to you a few minutes later.

I figured there would be a lot of writhing and suffering involved.

Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man.  For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire.  Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it.
