What is the point of a complicated and expensive lethal injection?

The problem is the crippling guilt that comes with having personally killed a man you probably didn’t want to.
You’re ending a life.
A life full of thoughts.
Thoughts like your’s.
A life that is just as amazing as your’s.
Although not as good, according to your morals.
Try strangling your dog or cat.
That’s comparable to the guilt that the man who killed the other man.
The person who gives the injection already is personally killing someone.
its alot less psychologically tearing to administer a shot an injection than it is to shoot someone in the head (even if the shot injection is lethal.)
and like raylito said, i bet you wont have fun strangling dogs
if you heard of a person who had legally strangled dogs with his bare hands as his job for years you would not think of him as someone with a sound mind.
The same could be said about someone who had blast the brains out of criminals with a pistol as his job for many years.

I forgot to mention this but there is also the problem of taking care of the executioner, if there is only one executioner in the area executing all of the condemned prisoners than it is inevitable that the executioner will develop (severe) mental problems.

What is the point of a complicated and expensive lethal injection?
simply killing them for their crimes is a bit extreme. To most Americans it only makes sense to kill a human being for murder but in other places and even other parts of America people believe very strongly that to take a life for any reason is wrong, no matter how severe the crime.
That you could at least be kind enough to let the criminal choose his death.
Also, a gunshot to the head is not always a clean kill, sometimes they live long enough to feel pain (i know the brain itself does not feel pain but when you are shot in the area that makes you you who knows what the dying criminal is feeling.) With the lethal injection the criminal dies peacefully in its sleep when the heart stops beating. No one really knows if the criminal is going through pain but i would bet that it is a great deal less painful than even a gunshot to the head.
you may not respect the criminals at all or even consider them human but many others beleive that all humans, including criminals, have rights that should be respected. And that condemning any human being is wrong and everyone should be given a chance to right their wrongs, learn from their mistakes, and become a contributing member of society.
These are not my views but they are the views of many of the people who oppose the death penalty in general.

does satan/hell have a single original symbol to represent them?
Dragons are taken from the Asian mythologies to the east
The demons and creatures of hell are taken from the mythologies around them like taking the succubus from sirens and nymphs.
even the pentagrams were taken from European pagan religions.
does hell or satan have any original symbolic ideas?

i am very desperate to finding ways of handiling my anxiety or fixing my problems with my mother
Originally posted by Lexicographicide:
If I was you, I’d take this to serious discussion. A lot of people on off topic will either not be bothered to read it or not know how to respond properly.
That said, it sounds like the kind of thing that would need to solved through psychiatry if it’s been going on this long.
the Internet community is flooded with anxious people
i was hoping i could fish out people from OT that has had similar problems with family members and they could give me advice on how to treat these people or at least share some of there own similar problems with me that would make me feel better.
This thread is also somewhat like talk therapy, simply making this thread has relieved a significant amount of anxiety. I feel alot better since i made this thread and 6 hours away from my mom which could help me think more clearly about the situation i am in and what i can do to improve it.

Typical, disappointing TF2.
they can’t pump out a new MVM all the time
besides, i am sure the Valve developers are very very busy right now. They have alot to work on.

What do you think of the show 1000 ways to die?
its a dumb show made for the purpose of watching others die horrible deaths, nothing more.
IMO the show is absolutely disgusting in many ways.

All of the total war games could make great use out of the tablet controller
and it would provide Nintendo with more exclusive games that would give people reasons to buy a Wii U.
If they don’t want to invest too much time and money on the Wii U they could just pick an older Total War game like Rome:TW and make it available on the Nintendo online store for cheap.
ITT Talk about:
- Nintendo
- Total War/Creative Assembly
- Sega
- Wii U

Universality of rights
I think rights between alien species and humans will only arise when our civilizations decide to mingle and trade with eachother. If their citizens remain separate from ours and their race only interact with us via leaders negotiating with leaders none of that will really matter and both sides will only be interested in what benefits themselves whether it is which planet belongs to who or if one just doesn’t want to be annihilated by the other.
If the different civilizations do decide to mingle and all races live with eachother how human they are physically or mentally is going to greatly effect how well they do mix with eachother. There is also the problem of communicating a common language between species, if they cannot speak words that make sense to us it would be very difficult to form relationships with them and see through their POV and consequentially difficult to show mercy or compassion to them (the same as them for us).
if they are too different to humans in body and mind mingling our cultures will be nearly impossible and many conflicts will arise between us since we can hardly understand eachother at all. In this case i believe the governments and leaders will take the responsibility of not letting this happen and only interacting with them to negotiate things, only really interacting with eachother when the results of the negotiations take action.

thinking about starting an RPG game-ish story game between off topic members

Keep looking, chump
i will
and its not really just RPing with somebody as you guy are familiar with in these forums or more likely in chat.
i provide to you a land with backstory and you give me your starter avatar and their previous professions and a little bit of history (preferably a quiet or calm history as this is the start of your journey)
then i present to you scenarios and you reply with decisions
based on what i know about your avatar i will determine what happens and how things go on
and i will try to keep this as realistically threatening as possible to your avatars existance without making him untouchable or die a disappointing death.
doing it with the FGers was really fun until i had to manage like 7 stories at once but i do want to do it again.
it was fun for everyone involved.

thinking about starting an RPG game-ish story game between off topic members
i have done this in the FG forum awhile ago and it worked out almost perfectly except for i was sick of having to manage the stories of multiple people. I figured doing this via PMs would be much better and then i could share the stories i made later.
If i were to do this in this forum in were the game would take place via PMs and post the stories later in OT, would anyone be interested?
let me know below,
and if you are interested just as me anything you want and i will also share the stories i made with the Forum Games members before i quit (some of them were very good and some were very upset i would not continue the thread game).

need ideas of what to draw with my new prismacolor colored pencils

I bought the 24 set prismacolor artist colored pencils to help me draw my final project for art class but i have no idea what to draw. I forgot to buy this with the prismacolor blending pencils though (even though i was staring directly at it for a minute like a fucking nincompoop) btw.
i have a large wide piece of black paper and no idea what to draw
give me something good
but not very time consuming, NO DRAGONS.
also discuss your drawing skills and the world of art with colored pencils

How to make a thread like Mafefe
if you guys truely dislike him soo much, why do you give him all this attention?
Clearly he loves this stuff, especially when your attempts to make fun of him or disrespect him end up soo poorly.
This guy is really not worth your time
hes not worth anyones time
he doesn’t care about anything
he just likes to get your goat, and that is really all he ever does (or tries to do) in Off Topic
and when you make threads only to make fun of him or disrespect him it seems like he is successfully getting the shit out of your goat.
Earlier in OT this guy would make my blood boil, i hated him soo much. I would reply to him whenever i could to show him how dumb he was being, and how wrong he is. But i eventually noticed that nothing i said, nothing anybody has ever said to him, has gotten through to him. And i realized that i just need to stop giving a fuck about mefefe, hes never going to change, he does not want to change. He loves this stuff, why would he ever change? So i just stopped caring, not at all worth the time or effort.
Even if you have no desire to save him from himself or show him reason, and you just want him gone, its not like your gonna shit-talk him to death and he has no intention of leaving anytime soon. The sooner you decide to ignore him the sooner his existence will stop causing you grief.
