Now - the worst penalty is " being put to sleep" like a beloved pet.....


Crucifixion or disembowling on the other hand might actually make some people think twice about killing the neighbor...

You're probably correct, but, are there alternatives, like, gun control??

There's all sorts of alternatives.

Killing 99 % of all males would be one - seeing they commit most of the crimes...

Didn 't say it was a GOOD alternative.

Few are..
