I had an interesting, although somewhat frightening, thought when reading a different thread. A lot of people were posting that they should fry a couple of criminals. For some reason my mind jumped to deep frying (I guess it is too close to lunch.) Could that be a solution to hunger in countries where there is not enough food? Deep fry our death row convicts and feed them to the masses? Maybe we could make little "green" biscuits out of them.

Before everyone comes down on me for this, I'm only half serious, and really just trying to think through the implications as a mental exercise. Thoughts?

Well, I wouldn't say it was a *good* idea.

And very, very morally wrong.

But it's an interesting proposition.

only half serious .... thats still a little too serious .... u silly knight

1) I'm not sure that enough people worldwide are executed to make a dent in world hunger. Now if we started handing out the death penalty for more crimes, like child molestation, attempted murder, and watching bad reality television it might work.

2) We might end up spreading prion diseases like Kuru, which was a problem in the cannibalistic Fore tribe in New Guinea.

Taking this far more seriously than it deserves:

The proposal would do nothing whatsoever to alleviate world hunger. The problem is not a lack of food, it is the inability of the world community to distribute the food. Now if we can not ship beans and flour to the people that are starving, what makes you think that we can ship human remains?

people shouldn't really eat fried food, I doubt it would be a very healthy choice for people who are already in poor health.

otherwise, I agree with DCD that we should start executing more people. ;)

I agree there are a lot of times the death penalty SHOULD be handed out and isn't. I've always been told the purpose of prison is to rehabilitate, and there are some things that I don't think CAN be rehabilitated. Child molesters and watchers of bad TV are a prime example.

Yeah, we'd have to do some mad-human testing. LOL

Ah but the advantage with this proposal is that the food can walk (or row) themselves to the people who need it. Granted this will take time and doubtless consume far more food than they eventually deliver to the end user (oh and they'll probably be quite stringy by the time they get there), but these are minor problems that i'm sure can be overcome.

We can't ship food there? But we can fly Sally Struthers fat butt over there? Let's just fry her up while she's there next time.

no one deserves to ever die. the government has no right in saying who lives or dies. the governemnt also has no right to keep people in prsion for as long as they do or in those conditions

Well I suppose we could just outsource all of our death row services to places like the Sudan and Burkina Fassa. Then we just have to tell the prisoners that they are be sent on a rehabilitation holiday and pack then off to the sunshine.

the government has whatever rights we let it have, in fact right now the government may have too many rights, but hey, what are you gonna do?

anyway, whether you believe that the death penalty is immoral or not, the thred was a joke, and a rather funny one (in a morbid type of way)

Before you go ahead and release all the murderous scumbags please try to remember what the late, great Richard Pryor said.

It made my heart ache, you know, to see all these beautiful black men in the joint. ; the warriors should be out there helping the Masses. I felt that way, I was real naive. Six weeks I was up there and I talked to the brothers. I talked to 'em, and... Thank God we got penitentiaries! I asked one, "Why did you kill everybody in the house?" He says, "They was home.".. I met one dude, Kidnap - murdered four times. And I thought, four times, that was your last, right? I says, "What happened?" "I can't get this s--t right! But I'm getting paroled in two years."

I say shoot those who went too long without food to be able to survive, even with food. Just quickly blow their brains out so that they stop starving. After all, if it's too late to eat, it's too late to eat.

Those that can still eat, feed those you can and shoot the rest. Just letting people starve to death is bad, you sick hippies.

Those people keeping all the food donations for themselves to garantee power? Shoot them. If they are hell bent on starving and killing off entire populations for power, they deserve to die.

What about the rapists, murderers, and molesters? Kill them. After all, is it better to kill one serial killer or to let him kill many people because our prisons are too full and cops too few?

Sometimes, you have to kill one to save the rest because if you just let them all die, you just killed alot of people, Mr. Humangrimreaper.
