How do you like my dumb idea for dealing with captured terrorists?

Ok, so here's my dumb idea. When we capture a terrorist and he's about to be sentenced to death, life in prison, whatever, we offer him a choice. He can take the normal sentence, or he can try to survive for 5 rounds in the ring with a UFC fighter like Chuck "The Iceman" Lidell. (see picture below)

Chuck will be trying to kill the terrorist with his bare hands. The terrorist need only survive for 5 rounds and he recieves a 15 year sentence instead. Of course the fights will be televised for free.

Yeah, well, it sure is dumb, as you say.

It would be entertaining though. Surely you can admit that.

Sorry, I don't find boxing and the like entertaining. I work in medicine, so I see how stupid violence is first hand.

It is certainly… interesting. But I’m all for deporting them, and telling their home countries to punish them. Since most of them come from Saudi Arabia, that is not an appealing proposition for them. Most terrorists will be even more scared to get caught if they think they’ll actually have to deal with the punishments they’re own people dish out.

Ah, the good old Saudi mantra:

PUBLIC BEHEADINGS FOR ALL!

How about beating the crap out of them first, then deporting them to Saudi Arabia? Best of both worlds, and it would be nice for some people to get revenge.

Promise them that they will be buried with pig entrails. That will scare them a lot more than your "dumb idea".

And while we're at it, why don't we give one of them a trident and net? Oh, oh, I got a better idea! Lets throw some lions in there with the terrorists, that's original! :rolleyes:

Ah, if only I could remember any of my latin other than 'Canis est in via'. :( Two years, what a waste.

Isn't it "Canis in via est"?

As for 'Romum ite domum', I have no damned clue. The Romans are home?

I say we get the terrorists, pump them full of sterioids and have them beat the crap out of each other. The first one to get to the dark-eyed virgins wins, and the one that's still alive gets to talk to us about training camps.

Yes, it is dumb.

No other responses.

Both are acceptable. Yours is more classic.

Didn't they do Spamalot? I knew I should've seen that instead of Julius Caesar!

How true is that story? Was it in Philiphines or somewhere?

I read that he only did that once and made sure the news spread.

However, it is not possible now with the "squeamishness" of our societies and fear of "offending" muslims.

But I read that the Israelis are planning to display pig lard prominently in public places and also in buses to deter suicide attacks.

Any Israeli here who can confirm that?
