subman,

You're damn pain in the ass, and that's all about you. The orignal topic is defined by me, not you. That is because I launched this thread, so I define the content, not you. Start your own freaking thread, teflonman. This thread was about unneeded cruelty in execution, which according to your own fantastic constitution (8th amendement) is illegal. This contradiction is what it is about. If it is uninteresting for you, fine, but then keep the hell out of it, and don't start a rumble just to get your personal fun from it. Do your own thread with stuff that interest you. You will get your according audience.

We have had repeatedly threads about the justification yes or no of death penalty in the past, and if it is a deterrant, or not. And almost all of them ended nasty, and aggressive, as far as I remember. That'S why I said clearly in words that such debates should be avoided here. Subman was the first ignoring that request. Tschocky went next, both laid out their basic arguments. I finally commented on that, unpersonally, and then asked again everybody to stick to the topic, and abandon this old debate.

What exactly is it that is beyond your ability to understand in this, teflonman? Tell the answer the mods at appropriate opportunity. I have asked Tak to extract everthing that does not belong here.

Hijacking a thread is okay when it does not result in aggression, is commonly accepted, and not excluded by the author. It can be fun, and entertaining. But here you guys have turned it into exactly the mess I wanted to avoid.
