- Ekaros 5y agoI think most execution methods are worse... Some might be better, but generally they are not used...
- CodeGlitch 5y agoAs long as it's in one cut. Multiple cuts would be horrific.

- oblio 5y agoDidn't we invent a device that took care of this problem? About 300 years ago?
- RobertMiller 5y ago*230 years ago. But nobody uses guillotines anymore. The Saudis use a sword.
- oblio 5y agoThat was my point, why be so barbaric even in the method of execution, when we created a cleaner solution for this back in the day of the horse and buggy?
- euroderf 5y agoUsed to happen a lot at the end of a long beheading workday.
- lb1lf 5y ago-While true, it would presumably be even better to not be executed in the first place - whether the execution takes place in Saudi Arabia, the US or any of the handful of countries still having the death penalty on its books.
- bostonsre 5y agoI guess it depends on the conditions in the jail. Death could be merciful if the conditions are too bad.
- dlp211 5y agoThere are worst things than death, and everyone should consider what the alternative here is. I am absolutely against execution, but I also have zero agency over what Saudi Arabia is going to do to its prisoners, and when I consider the alternative, this is to me the preferable outcome.
