I say no. I'm all for the punishment fitting the crime, but the guillotine hearkens back to a time of punishment better left in the past.
As some of you may know, the death penalty was reviewed by the Supreme Court this term. The basic question wasn't whether the penaly itself was cruel and unusual, but whether this chemical cocktail that they inject causes too much pain.
I think the Guillotine is the perfect mode of execution. It is quick, painless, simple, and cheap, yet its impression/scare factor is high.
Any reason not to bring back the Guillotine?
(yes I am in a morbid state of mind lately)

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
capitol punishment has been shown to not be a deterent. hell we have movies of people getting publicly executed by guillotine. I don't think we should be using capitol punishment as a deterent. We should use it as a mode of removing those useless members of society that have no redeming qualities at all. hell we should open up the crimes that qualify for capitol punishment. Im a fan of hanging. Washington state has the right idea.
It should be painful


I don't think this should be a question of how painful the punishment is.
I think (permanently) removing criminals from society should be enough.
I think the problem is that we take too damn long to do this. What's the big deal? "Mr.X, you have been found guilty of murder.....walk through this door"
*poof! No more Mr. X*.....how hard is that?![]()
I would take all the scum (rapists, murderers, armed robbers..) in the United States, load them into C-130s and parachute drop them into North Korea, Syria, and Iran, possibly with weapons and be done with it.
Clemson, let me ask you a question. Would you be brave enough to be able to torture and kill a criminal? Think about it for a minute. Could you handle hearing them scream, lose blood and go into a state of shock as you witness them die slowly? It's easy to say you can but to actually do it .. could you? I mean, you haven't exactly tortured a human being or even an animal before so you don't know what it would be like.
I'm all for the death penalty depending on the severity of the crime but i could never bring myself to torture and kill them. You basically need to have no feeling of remorse in order to do that shit.


Feed the criminal powerful hallucinogens. Then use actors who need work/practice to act/look like the victim/s and reconstruct the crime but make it turn bad for the criminal and make them relive it over and over. Then reverse it and make the criminal look like the victim and make the actor look like the criminal and fake every thing over and over until their mind is fucked up....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
No because then their INSANE offspring would just immigrate back here...
No, I vote we burn them into some sort of usable energy
Or chain all that "crazy" energy into a stationary bike.
We could train psych students by experimenting with different videos
that would trigger their "KILL" or "Looney" responses..
This would not only help to understand the beast so to speak,
but also benefit by producing greater electrical output from their bikes!

How about a trip to the crematory? Painful yet humane. Cheaper too because a jar is way cheaper than a casket.
I sentence you to be...OVEN TOASTED!
