    Mine would be Death by boiling,I would put the condemned into a huge barrell and slowly fill it with boiling water up to their waist first, then to their shoulders to the baying of the public crying out for more.

    An that would be for child molesters and rapists.

    So whats yours ?

    I don;pt think you have to capitalize the word capital because of the topic.

    As for the topic: I don't get off on torture so I'd let the legislators decide in the event of it ever happening.

    Corporal and capital punishment have been shown historically, sociologically, statistically, legally, psychologically, recidivistically, realistically, theoretically, logically, reasonably, philosophically, practically, empirically, repeatedly useless.

    But don't let a few little things like that get in the way of your torture fantasies. Gotta teach the sickos a lesson, eh?

    What about extreme tickling as a punishment? Seriously! You would probably do or say anything under extreme tickling punishment.

    Yes, but nobody said it couldnt be entertaining! (jazz hands)

    Personally, I would have the worst of them compete in a Running man style game show, With the offenders competing to win their freedom. Of course, their is no chance of any of them actually winning with our theatrical gladiators also competing.

    As a bonus, this would finally give RTE something decent to air. And make the country feel less bitter about that TV license buisness.

    Actually, why hasnt this been done already? :confused:

    Has it? Capital punishment certainly does reduce the possibility of re-offending....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭knotknowbody


    This would be for paedophiles, murderers and rapists, the scummiest scummers there is.

    Set up an arena like the Thunderdome in Mad Max.

    Throw the criminal in there, along with about 8 very hungry wolves, if the criminal survives he gets to live out his days in a normal prison, otherwise the wolves are fed for another few days.

    You could even sell tickets to the public so they could watch, cover the costs of setting the system up.

    Hanging, not because it's easy for the condemned, but because it is easy for the executioner. If you bring in death penalty for rape, what about the men who are falsely accused (rate stands at about 10% false accusation of rape in Ireland). You'd have to bring in death penalty for false rape / perjury too. I agree with death penalty though.

    Death by twister. And if they win at that then try playing best out of three- Battleships and Cluedo.

    Yeah, because the revolving door system we have at the moment works so well :rolleyes:

    While i wouldn't be for corporal/capital punishment, what I think we need is MINIMUM sentences and life should mean just that, LIFE.

    A real money saver though.

    I'm not a liberal by any means but I think capital punishment is just blood lust for the most part. Make sentences tougher and reintroduce hard labour.

    Em corporal punishment is like what was used in kids in school for being naughty.
    Capital punishment is the death penalty :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    I wouldn't like to see capital punishment reintroduced,although I would love to see a return of the stocks. I'd happily watch some scumbag endure a little public humiliation:)

    Why is your only concern with men who are falsely accused of rape? And what about unjust convictions* for other crimes?


    *and I presume you mean convictions because no-one has ever been sentenced because of an accusation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 797 ✭✭✭Dwork


    I'd just like to second the revolving door method suggested by an earlier poster.








    I presume that involves wedging the condemned persons head in a revolving door and slamming it round. Sounds messy but effective.

    It really doesn't. There's been a few death row convicts convicted of murders committed after their sentencing.

    Sir, I'd like to add to your revolving door suggestion.
    How bout we make the condemned person carry a large revolving door with them , where ever they go ?.

    anyone who deserves the death sentence should be
    psychologically profiled to find their worst fear/way to die,
    then implement that.
    bonus points if it's ironic to their crime.
