With all the news these days of the conflict and needless killing that goes on in the world, I thought of the various ways in which we humans have killed our fellow human beings over the centuries, and stumbled upon the list shown below.
It is impossible to imagine the excruciating pain and suffering that some of these methods of execution produced, which makes it clear that although the death of the individual was the ultimate goal, torture was definitely intended. Without question, the history of mankind has been filled with violence.
Obviously being executed is not desirable under any circumstances, but given a choice, which of the following methods of capital punishment would you least like to be subjected to?

Well, then in the interim, I hope you get your gold star or smiley face, or what ever it is that guys like you get “in the interim” for doing, ahhh, for doing what exactly, oh yes, for doing what matters – in the interim. BTW, you are absolutely right. Some of us do, just say it like it is while others pretend and some of us, while being judgmental and calling you pathologically judgmental, are correct in our assessment. PS…I never agreed to work on my creativity or not to be boring so, judge me, see if I give a fuck/
Yeah, yeah, yeah… More of the same gibberish…
@TGO…. Back in the early morning hours of September 13th, 1956 when I appeared on the face of this earth in it’s capital, New York City, I, with full intention – I do admit, that stand of mine came about mostly because of genetic data I was carrying within from my Anarchist Grandfather and my “Gitana” Grandmother – and very clearly, refused to any sort of agreement in this game called Life. I never chose or agreed to be committal. I never chose or agreed not to be afraid of answering simple questions. Hell. I never even agreed not to be traumatized by polls. Never agreed to which flock of sheep I’d romp around with. If you are living up to the agreements – with yourself – as to how you go on about in Life, I am very happy for you. I hope you’ll get a gold star or smiley face or whatever it is they hand out to guys like you. Being that you are pathologically judgmental and can’t help it, go ahead, judge me, see if I give a fuck.
As usual, way too much manure with little impact. Guys like me are handed the same thing guys like you are – NOTHING – it is what is done in the interim that matters. I know that you really don’t get it, but I’ll make it plainly simple: calling me pathologically judgmental is a judgmental statement . As I’ve told you all along, we ALL judge. Some of us just say it like it is while others pretend; guess which group you belong to. By the way, you really do need to work on your creativity; your closing statement was boring the second time you used it.
I am surprised that this is not another poll
You should come clean on yet something else you learned about yourself as a result of this Blog: you are so non-committal and afraid of answering simple questions that you are traumatized by polls. But it’s OK, I understand…
