Zyklon B Showers.

Stoning, its barbaric to the point of humour, although hung, drawn and quatered has its advantages

Zyklon B Showers.

seriously?

An axe.

Now, that takes me back...

seriously?

Well, it is the most effective form of execution...kill tons of people at once, rather quickly. And it's a hellavu lot more Humane then the Electric Chair.

I think its connotations to Nazism make it somewhat cruel

Contrary to Popular Belief, the Gullotine is a VERY humane weapon.

When your head gets choped off, you die instantly. Quite literally, instant death.

The Gullotine and Gas Chambers are more humane then the Electric Chair.

It's still very effective. I also like the Gullotine.

Wonder what would happen if we CUT OFF SOMEONE'S HEAD during a Zyklon B shower. That would be awesome.

I prefer for their own family to kill them and then if need to forced to consume their remains. (Yes I am that evil)

President Bush should launch a study into that form of execution....

Hanging. It's cheap, clean, can be done in public, and if done right it's nearly painless.

death by sex :D (anyone who's seen the meaning of life will know what I mean)

However, the Gullotin is cheaper, just as clean, can be done in public, and is ALWAYS painless.

thats how i want to go! ;)

DEATH BY SNOO-SNOO!

Being dropped form an airplane.

I'm all for the Cheka / NKVD / KGB / FSB "Lesfortovo" / "Lyubyanka" form of execution. Walk 'em down a hallway, step out behind them, pull trigger. Body goes down, janitor comes out clucking his tongue brandishing a mop and bucket.

And a squeegee.

Gillotine (Mispelling that now but I don't care) is efficient, painless, and otherwise, good. "For a bit of an Oriental flair" do what the Japanese did: Swing sword downwards across neck. Victory.

I'm also fond of the Orwell thing. Test new munitions on them. Napalm v2.0, anyone?

Being dropped form an airplane.

well, closed casket for the funeral :D

Drawing and quartering is good, cannot figure why it wasn't on the list. My personal favorite has to be the old nail the small intestine to tree trick.

casket? you'd probably only need a small cardboard box!

BTW it is thought that beheading is NOT instantanious death, during the french revolution there was reports of people's eyes blinking for several seconds after decapitation.

Being dropped form an airplane.

How about that scene from Scarface where Sauza hangs the guy from his helicopter? That would work.

any kind of mass execution...

Old age due to benign neglect.

What no Firing Squad???

Combine a crucifiction with stoning and burning. For poaching of endangered flora and fauna.

DEATH BY SNOO-SNOO!

I thought snoo-snoo meant rape. That's definately not a cool death.

So... what does "favorite" mean?
Coolest? Most humane? Evilest? Personal favorite? Most efficient?

http://www.usd.edu/~jbulman/the_guillotine.htm

Many scholars of medicine and surgery brought up different views on how the body is effected by decapitation. The most prominent activists on the subject were Dr. Jean-Joseph Sue, German anatomist Samuel-Thomas Sommering, French anatomy professor Dr. Séguret, Dr. Dassy de Ligniéres, and Dr. Beaurieux.[17] Sommering and Sue were very vocal in their anti-decapitating opinions. They both were conclusive in their beliefs that the decapitation would be a horrible way to die but “of all forms of capital punishment the guillotine was the most merciful and painless.”[18] Dr. Séguret conducted experiments during the Revolution on the effects of the guillotine. Some of his experiments included: exposing the eyes of two heads to sunlight in which the eyes promptly shut, pricking the exposed tongue of a victim and seeing it withdraw into the mouth, and witnessing the eyes of one victim follow the voice of whomever was talking for more than fifteen minutes.[19]

Whether or not these were acts of real mental activity or contractions and spasms of muscle tissue is unclear. Dr. Ligniéres, in 1880, pumped blood from a living dog into a decapitated head and found that for a few moments the lips quivered and the eyes twitched.[20] After the experiment, the doctor asked the executions to shake the head immediately after decapitation to rid the blood from the head to reduce any possible suffering. Lastly, Dr. Beaurieux, in 1905, experimented with the head of a recently executed prisoner. In calling the deceased’s name, the head slowly opened its eyes and the pupils focused. The eyes closed and again his name was called, “Languille!” Once again the motions were repeated and the eyes fixed themselves on the doctor. A third attempt was made with no more movement. The whole thing is said to have lasted twenty-five to thirty seconds.[21]

Many other doctors have tried experiments on “patients” finding no response to pain, sound, or smell; but there was no doubt by the early 20th century, that life could still hold on for an unknown amount of time.

So, it's not clear if it is totally painless and because pain is subjective then it's senseless to say less painful than other methods.

Maybe if it was performed while the victim was under anesthesia.

I picked 'other', because when it comes to twisted things like execution, the coolest/personal favorite option is always going to be 'other'. Also, the most humane/evilest could easily fall under the other category as well (for different methods, of course.)

I say force them to watch ALL Michael Bey movies, that is an agonizing Death to be sure.

The one where nobody dies.

The one where nobody dies.

Spoilsport.

Bu$h Sux!

I prefer what Genghis Khan did to some of his enemies: boil them alive. It is as barbaric as the scum who get these sentences are. Of course, the boiling may take too much time, so an acid bath may work.

Where's the firing sqaud?

I suppose this might get flame reported or troll reported, but im not sure. Anyways, what is your favorite form of execution. please put why.
i would, but last time i did that the thread got locked...

We have a considerable lack of imagination in this forum. Here are my ideas:

Televised hunter and prey game show, as in The Running Man, or, what's that Japanese film with a bunch of school children forced to wear explosive collars and battle each other for their lives with random weapons? That one.
Catapulting into the ocean.
Lion pit.
Fiery furnace.
Indiana-Jones-styled hall of traps.
Tournament duels.
Firing squad of archers.
Crash test dummy.

If they made a show like that, TV would finally have something good! (Besides the TV/VIDEO button)

Put them in to an arena and fight to the death. The winner is freed, and everyone gets a good show.

as a metallica fan i have to say electric chair and as for history y waste all this cash on fancy methods have em all shot painting the stone wall behind a person with their brains has always worked




:sniper:
:sniper:
:) :sniper:
:sniper:

(they shoot em in the chest but u get the point)

I've always had a thing for firing squads, personally.

Most humane? Defenitely guillotine.

Most fun? Well, maybe hanging with a preserved intestinal tract would be fun...

Crucifixion. Nothing like spending 3 days in agony, tied to a cross, finally dying when your ribcage collapses and your internal organs liquefy.

Zyklon B Showers.

It's still very effective. I also like the Gullotine.

No, no it wouldn't, so don't even suggest it. Either you knock it off, of you'll receive an official warning. That suggestion was of the worst taste, and could potentially be very offensive to many people, the definition of trolling.

Sniper. One bullet, saves money, earn cash by organ donation. Cheap, efficient, profitable.

I would say crucifiction because of the horrible reminder it gives not to piss off those in power.

If not that for whatever reason then just throw people into a pit or something. Kill them in the cheapest manner.

The word is "guillotine"

Drowning. Watching them struggle futilely for their lives before succumbing is so very pleasurable.

Firing squad numb-nuts! :mp5:

Has anybody ever encountered the metho used by Ganghis Khan in Persia, he poured molten lead into people's throats :p

My favourite method is for the prisoner to be catapulted through the air and shot by five skilled archers. He dies before he hits the ground.

Lethal injection. Perp goes to sleep, he doesn't wake up. Execution should not be entertainment, or excessively gruesome-even if the crime was both. There are standards of behaviour to consider here-yes, the perpetrator likely killed lots of people, thereby, for all intents and purposes, tossing away his own right to live. This does not mean we go out and emulate this. Clean, merciful, and sure- an Execution is a process of law, making it a circus spectacle...

What if we don't like executions?...


Indiana-Jones-styled hall of traps.

If i'm forced to answer, the Indiana Jones style hall of traps could be fun. Imagine all the fun there is with hot nitric acid...

Garrote Vil!!!! Make them break their necks!!

Flames!!! Death to all witches and demons!!!!.



Execution? It makes me sick. :mad:

Shoot 'em gangland style...

Or execution style, take your pick.

"Favourite" meaning what? The way I personally would like to go out? The most dramatically appealing one? The one I would administer to my enemies?

"Favourite" meaning what? The way I personally would like to go out? The most dramatically appealing one? The one I would administer to my enemies?

I was thinking something similar; "My favorite for me, of for other people?"

For other people, I'd like to see more people boiled in oil.

For myself, I think I'd prefer to be put inside a giant rubber ball and bounced to death. :)

Well, if I'm the one being executed ( :eek: ), I'd prefer to be dropped out of an airplane...at least a little fun before the end. :D

But if we're talking about my favorite in terms of gruesomeness, I favor an old Assyrian method.

The victim is strapped, spread-eagle to a wall. Each day the person is cut from the groin up about 1/2 to 1 inch, the wound is then cauterized with a piece of hot copper.

Eventually, usually somewhere around the liver or aorta, the victim dies, but has been halfway cut-in-half, so to speak.

Not efficient, or humane, but certainly intimidating! :p

Favourite for the executioner or the executionee?
