I'd pick beheading over electrocution if I had to be executed.

You can pick it all you want. It's the ones who don't pick it that are the problem.

As I'm sure you realize, not all Muslims are responsible for the behaedings in the Middle East. You or I make not like or understand the culture and/or religious practices of other people (I'm sickened by the pictures of the sacrificed animals) but that doesn't make these people "uncivilized."

Is that the civilized way? Allow the condemned to choose their method of execution?

I'm more concerned that the hostages were killed than I am about the method.

I think "How Would You Want to Be Executed?" is a good idea for a new thread...I'll go first.

I'd like to be fucked to death.

Okay. We'll hack off your arms and legs and leave you in the middle of a desert.

Now you're fucked.

You know, that's not really what I had in mind. Just trying to turn the bloody animal thing-y into a sex orgy. Sorry.

Yes, it's surely better to bomb cities with tanks and planes... It's much more clean, efficient, and showable on tv ...

Warfare, in general, is a dirty business but civilized people have set up guidelines in the Geneva conventions as to what is and is not acceptable. Shooting an enemy with a FMJ bullet is concidered acceptable, i.e. clean, efficient and not meant to cause undue pain and suffering. Hacking off heads with machetes is not acceptable.

But the US government doesn't follow the Geneva Conventions anymore. They are "quaint." Remember? We torture prisoners of war.

Does that mean we are uncivilized in your book?

And even if we did apply Geneva, the "dirty business" of war is only excused if the war itself is justified.
