Well, if you think about it, you can't "torture" people. That's awful. If they did something wrong in their life (and are obviously guilty) i think a painless death will be enough That's just my opinion, because like we'vee discussed in another topic, if they're put into jail, the minute they get out they'll break the law again...
Am i wrong ?

Dead wrong Strafe: "torture" is totally acceptable in my eyes in many cases of "extreme crime" (rape, murder, armed robbery, assault with a firearm ... etc), unfortunately, in my country of the United States, nobody seems to have balls enough to start it up.

Ideally, we could institute torture for many (perhaps all) crimes, and the death penalty for many of the more serious ones. By "death penalty" I don't mean this pansy crap like lethal injection or the electric chair -- we need something violent and painful (gladitorial games would be a good idea; all the inmates start with a knife or a spear, and then it's a massive free-for-all until there is one murderer left) to show that criminal activity just ain't the "I have sinned and now see the Light!" lovefest of crap it currently is. Then we would televise this on public programming for the "benefit" of all.

I for one will be willing to try this: even if crime rates don't go down, we will have eliminated a whole batch of murderers....

Anyone else have any thoughts about this?

Man!... that's why i stopped watching television...

Seriously, that's a bit to extreme... i could agree with you if the victim or (in other cases) the victim's relatives would be allowed to torture the attacker

Seriously though, if you could be brutally beaten for screwing up, how many "screw-ups" would there be before after awhile?

I don't know, but a friend told me this: when the police are trying to get a lead, they're "interrogating" the criminal; they wrap him in wet towels or something like that so he won't show up marks later and beat him up.
But it could be just fiction.

I'd love to just watch them do this process. I mean the whole dead thing and coming alive with electric shocks... "It's aliiiiiiiiive!!!!!" *evil cackle* and so forth.

"They look so cute when their sle... er dead."

Night night poochie

Wow, I know I'm a sadist, but that that really disturbs me ...

The idea of this is not to make people who enjoy watching death happy; it's to encourage people from not committing crimes in future because there are very strict penalties.

yeah.. its disturbing.. why would they do that..

I don't think extreme violence in punitions can lead to lower the crimes... every murderer knows that is wrong kill other people and that they can be caught. It will only awake the violent instincts in other people, specialy in children...
I think will be good take the criminals and make then work... cleaning highways, building roads, hard and exausting work... then, when they are free, they know how to work... and they pay the price we pay to mantain they jailed...
And when they come back to jail they will be so tired that they cannot even think about a rebelion...

uf.. never i hated more to understand so little of english ... but my opinion about the things that i understand was.. "wow.. crazy" xD

This blood-swapping looks really useful. Three hours could have saved a lot of human lives, so this research is worthwhile in my opinion.

As for eating fetuses, I think the flesh would be far too underdeveloped to taste like real meat. But then again, I'm no biologist nor a fetus connoisseur.

I aggree with al_tyranny, leave the dogs alone and test it on the bad guys. If it kills a few then heh, more food for the next inmate (until his turn).
