I chose the firing squad cause it's quick and relativly painless. You stand there with you eys closed and 10 people shoot you in the head. Hanging, you suffocate if you neck doesn't break, gas chamber, you just suffocate, and btownmeggy explained lethal injection, with the electric chair, you have ...

Capital punishment was suspended in the United States between 1967 and 1976 as a result of several decisions of the United States Supreme Court.

I wonder what happened in that time period to stop it and also what co mensed it again

The Supreme Court ruled that it was cruel and unusual ...

Wow, I was a teenager before the internet, and if we wanted to make an absurd spectacle of ourselves, we could usually only do it in front of a couple of hundred people.

I saw The Usual Suspects on TNT, and "Give me the fucking keys you fucking cocksucker" was rendered as "Give me the friggin' keys, you fairy godmother."

Why doesn't )lam make sense for Muslim or Islam?

Jesus Hopscotching Christ, no one believes in accountability anymore? Of course, this isn't surprising coming from a student... you kids aren't supposed to believe in accountability. But the adults around here certainly should.

I grew up in the Baptist and Methodist churches (if Anglicanism is Catholicism lite, then Methodism is Anglicanism lite), and Lent was discussed but no one gave anything up for Lent.

I always found "left" and "right" to be very misleading. Do you think you could further explain your views?

Are you asking ilevot or me?

You, ilevot, and hecter.

I usually associate "Left" with being more government (fascism and communism are essentially the same with paltry differences) and ...

Ok so there's people that get that cross thing put on their head and prance around with it for a week or something?

They get a cross of ashes on their forehead on Ash Wednesday. I don't think prancing is necessarily any part of it, unless that's their normal bit. Um, then wash it off?

I'm not ...

You know, it's interesting... this mockery of the Catholic's faith is weird. Why do you people care if they publically proclaim their faith as dictated by Catholic tradition?

I completely disagree - Cuban teachers work harder because they love what they are doing and wish to help educate the people to help improve the community, not merely 9-5 to pick up a quick buck. I'm sure this is the same motivation for teachers the world over, teachers can often get a higher paid ...

I'm not sure how Taiwan is bad because it's propped up by the U.S., but Cuba was and is good when it was propped up by the USSR. And, if the U.S. is corrupt, surely you'll admit that the USSR was even more corrupt.

Since the early 1960s, Cuba had been (and still is) subject to a US-imposed economic blockade. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European socialist bloc in 1989-91 deprived Cuba of between 50-80% of essential imports such as energy, food, agricultural inputs and medicine.

The Indian guys I knew in high school said they had to wipe their asses with their hands when they went back home. I posted a link that verified that. How about if you post a link that backs up what you're claiming?

Very, very classy.

I was debating on whether to weigh in, now I think I will contribute.

I am in the United States studying from India. Everything is different here as can be expected. The most striking difference I noticed is the COMPLETE PROLIFERATION OF OBESE PEOPLE HERE!!!!!
