I remember some evil humans doing the same in the last World War

Talking about sinking to a new low

I meant: "The United States of Germany" sorry

@stux

Is your objection to execution by gas, or execution at all?

I agree that the death penalty is wrong. But if you are going to have the death penalty gas is probably the most humane way to do it.

@freemo @stux Slowly suffocating is humane?

Why not use the US weapon of choice, an AR-15? A few rounds through the head should do the trick within .5 seconds.

@zeitverschreib @freemo Or burn them alive, freeze them, string 'em up etc etc

About the same category

@stux @zeitverschreib @freemo Nitrogen gas is much more humane than the lethal injected cocktail (which is speculated to merely paralyze the patient and put them through burning pain qs it spreads) and is well known to be humane when done right (hence the suicide pod proposal using it).

Killing people at all is the big issue here, but I'm not complaining that more people are drawn into the debate.

@Fishbed

100% spot on.

I suspect what is happening here is Stux is actually a good person. Like any good person you hear about the death penalty and you are appalled. He has an emotional reaction (a very justified one). Then in that state he hears about gassing, and rightfully associates it with Nazis. He should be associating the murder with nazi's but the gas part is what stands out for some reason. So now he is offfended at the gas choice, in reality I think he is just offended by the murdering and the association with nazis is just too easy to make the association even though its not the part that matters.

Stux has the tendency to get a little emotional when literal nazi shit is going down, and well, can we even blame him?
