Petition to reinstate the guillotine

Lethal injections are too easy of a way out.
Sure we may take away one's life, although dependent on the circumstances leading up to the execution, many don't deserve a dignified or pleasant death.
The guillotine is a rather quick and arguably human form of execution. Aside from a particularly large dose of tar, is falling asleep not a preferred means toward death?
Humanity needs to cut it with this overly polite charade and get back to our roots.

The official executioner of the French Revolution, Charles-Louis Sanson, said on April 25, 1792:
Today the machine invented for the purpose of decapitating criminals sentenced to death will be put to work for the first time. Relative to the methods of execution practised heretofore, this machine has several advantages. It is less repugnant: no man's hands will be tainted with the blood of his fellow being, and the worst of the ordeal for the condemned man will be his own fear of death, a fear more painful to him than the stroke which deprives him of life.

Which I am not absolutely opposed to either, this thread's original title was planned to be "petition to reinstate crucifixions" although the guillotine seems as a reasonable step in the right direction.
Naturally of course, the States had to take it that one step further by utilizing lethal injections.
Any debates as to if the convicted experiences any pain should not even be an issue.
You're thinking small time, bro

because that costs us money you bleeding heart faggot
Anyone remember this bitch?
Her crime was falling in love against a mans will. For that, she paid the price, the death penalty for defying man.
Fucking whore couldn't even keep her panties on even in death.
Good job DFG :thumbsup:
Wo-man is the greatest tragedy holding man back from his full potential. The curse nature gave us to be forced to depend on them for mutual benefit. :mad: Fuck THE MAN
While the idea is rather creative, it seems to require an excess amount of time and effort just to get someone to die in their own filth which I am not necessarily willing to invest.
Well, if we are only considering utilizing the guillotine post-reinstatement for cases of the death penalty, how would that make a difference?
As to if the definition of the terms necessary to be sentenced are to be reevaluated with a more moderate disposition is an arguable case.
I meant, why have the death penalty at all? Saving money can be done by making prisons crappier, and in the modern era we can easily make sure nobody escapes. There's no reason to be killing more people -- and from a strictly pragmatic point of view, there's always the potential that there could be some use derived from a living prisoner.
Forced labor for life?
Sure -- at least then there'd be something we get out of it. See, killing doesn't solve anything that's not solved by putting them in prison, aside from the problem of keeping them in prison, which isn't that much of a problem. If they produced something it could cover costs and make their crime lead to some small societal benefit.
Where I'm from the costs are $51,672 per year ($73,882 per year for maximum security) per inmate.
