Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You should volunteer to experience all these methods of execution until right before your heart gives out, then be resuscitated. After that you can come and inform us all on which is most humane. Then you will truly know "how executions work".
I'm sure you and your republican christian friends who support the death penalty would be happy to volunteer lol.
The fuck are you talking about?
All the common execution methods have been shown to fail often and result in great suffering for the person being executed. I don't need to experience them to know that.
I actually agree with you lol. So what the fuck are you talking about.
My entire argument is about Rejecting all the confidence these people have saying this is humane.
They managed to find a way to make it inhumane. That just goes to show that malicious people can fuck anything up if they really want to.
Still, if I were going to be killed and got to choose the method, nitrogen would be high on my list of options, as long as it's actually just nitrogen and not nitrogen with a side of CO2 poisoning.
I agree completely. I wouldn't trust our justice system to do it correctly though either, especially a state like Alabama.
