Oh god.

Let's be less negative around here, ok?

... Is this an unintentional electricity pun?

I'm pretty sure he could press charges for suggesting that.

Will he face resistance?

Ohm pretty sure he will.

[Arx]

The current stream of puns is a little irritating.

[Comrade P.]

I... I don't even remember finding this Spongebob abstract. It just opened with my browser.

[ComputerWarrior]

Turned on the TV just in time to catch some economics officials discussing methods for fixing the mah country's economy.

One of them was saying how people need to spend less so that the economy will be stimulated. O.o Another one agreed and added that companies should increase QUALITY and decrease PRICE to get more sales. Ookay, surely one of these high-ranking officials will say something usefu-

"The main reason that [so many] companies went bankrupt was because they had no money."

;_; Good god.

[StupidElves]

I am tempted to believe that they were on either Fox or MSNBC.

My friend managed to break his foot by tripping over his own foot.

I suppose having no money is a legitimate cause of bankruptcy.

As for executions, they should just use a guillotine or something instead. Much quicker, with less of a chance for something to go wrong.

guillotines might be revolutionary, but not american-freedomtastic

I think it was determined that the head assists stays aware for a few seconds after the execution, and thus deemed inhumane.

[Descan]

I've only ever heard that as a myth. Not proven nor disproven, just an urban legend with no backing.

... Not to mention, how on -earth- are you going to get the funding necessary to test that? The ethics committee would eat you alive.

[Darvi]

By decapitating the ethics committee, natch.

While the brain might stay operational for a few seconds, the entire body missing thing is quite a shock to it, so it probably doesn't feel any pain.(I think this based on animal research, not sure)

Anyway, it's better than the electric chair, which they're contemplating to return. There, unconsciousness only sets in when the brain starts to boil. This can take a minute or 2. Additionally, in some cases the patient caught fire first.

[TD1]

Just...lethal injection, people.

Of course, I don't think there should be capital punishment at all, but other than that if it is done there are plenty of ways to kill people that aren't simply gruesome.

[10ebbor10]

They can't do lethal injections anymore. The substances they use are made in Europe, and companies that make them are refusing to sell. I think we're preparing a law against it as well.

[GiglameshDespair]

I'd prefer it being a bit messier to it being more inhumane.
