    Something doesn't seem right about this. People aren't dandelions. I haven't seen it, but in the Daniel Pearl beheading video, I've been told them have to saw through for an excruciatingly long time to get the deed done. Yet a noose just pops the sucker right off? I'm skeptical.

    Ask DB about the Pearl video......I remember when that thread was posted, I clicked on it.......heard some jibberish in Iraqi or something, and knew immediately what it was.......uh......no thanky.

    Thus, the invention of NSFW.

    I've heard of it, so it's at least anecdotally not unusual. (I know, I know -- double neg). Usually, in tales I've heard, it's with someone overweight. Added force just... pop!
     
  8. I hope that the quagmire that has been the application of the death penalty in Iraq over the last few weeks can enlighten some Americans about how barbaric the practice is. We sanitize it here, keeping the dirty details far out of the public eye.

    I am appalled that our nation carries out the death penalty. Sickened beyond description.

    What's wrong with how it's been administered in Iraq the last couple weeks?

    We're supposed to worry about fucking malignant shits like Saddam and his brother?
