[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1370744, member: 14668"] I am personally opposed to capital punishment because I do not trust our legal system to render a fair verdict for those who cant afford a high-priced attorney. That being said...if we are going to execute people as "humanely" as possible then we need to do it the Chinese way; one round from an AK 47 to the back of the head at point blank range. Done. No brain, no pain. Our reliance on "humane" methods such as lethal injections, gas chambers etc. is nothing more than a reflection of our society's cowardice. It has nothing to do with being humane and everything to do with our collective desire to make the execution nice and clean and tidy and guilt-free. Death is seldom clean and tidy. Death is bloody and messy, and if we as a society cant cope with that fact then we have no business executing people in the first place. [/QUOTE]
