Sure I don't see why not... Some people deserve a lot more for some of the atrocities that they have commited.

You're missing the point. In a civilised society that implements capital punishment (arguably an oxymoron), there is no imperative to cause the condemned person to suffer any more than necessary. To deliberately or knowingly cause unnecessary suffering, as part of the capital punishment system, can never be justified. The punishment is the forfeiture of the condemned's person's life, this is arguably justice; causing them unnecessary suffering before they die is vengeance.

I don't think any method of CP is acceptable cos I don't believe in it, full stop. I was just merely stating why I thought it wasn't used in modern CP. Anyhow, how the hell are you meant to judge the pain difference between someone having their throar slit, being electrocuted in a chair, lethal injection or hanging?

OK, again I'll ask, if you were to be executed, which method would you prefer? Would you choose to have your throat cut in preference to the other methods?

Feel free to kill hornets/wasps/flies etc but don't harm the bees. They actually have a purpose in life.

freeze 4 flies , make a plane out of 2 lolly sticks attach flys to wings..... i

instructions on how to make it where in fhm so it must be ok

omfg you n00b, it has already been discussed, wasps do have a purpose, to eat other 'pests' and to provide food for other animals/insects, hornets do similar, and as i have said, flies kill the weak, thus making the human race stronger, also, provide food for things like spiders

Thats a weak argument if I ever heard one

yea, i was joking about the flies, still, valuable food for spiders, which also catch and eat other household/garden pests

insects = animals, therefore animal cruelty also applies

I don't class them as animals, I'm scared of every insect there is, they make me cringe.

I can't think of a species that doesn't have some purpose, apart from one. Can you guess what it is?

I'll give you a clue, ironically it's also the only species which wonders what its purpose is.

As far as I'm aware insects don't even feel pain? Infact I'm fairly sure they're not even self aware or anything, they're just like robots basically.

sorry

my bad, i once asked that question to a class full of school 'friends' who were busy saying vegetarians are stupid/animals have no rights/animals have no intelligence/meat this, bla that.
the question certainly stumped them

another thing that gets me, the like beef and lamb etc
but as them if they would it a "guinea pig and its 'oh no, thats cruel" wtf...bloody idiots

oh, lol, my psychology class were watching a video about brains being hard wired, like when you move away from something to hot, anyway it was about animals and all the girls were doing that "o look at the pretty piglet" crap, i couldn't halp myself and said: he was on your plate last week" my psychology teacher sent me out...insane or what :eek:

Even if that is true, you should respect the fact that the common house fly is a remarkable "machine", it's autonomous, it can reproduce, it can fly, it's incredibly efficient, and it evolved tens of millions of years ago. As such, a bunch of teenagers setting fire to them for fun doesn't really seem appropriate IMO.
