I posted before about Ronnie Lee Gardner being executed by firing squad in Utah.
I would like to now make the discussion about what your preference of execution would be.
Your options would be hanging, firing squad, lethal injection, electrocution, gas chamber or any other ideas you may have.
Please do not answer with, I would never be in that situation. Just for giggles, lets pretend, which method, if given a choice, would you use?

Hi hofferp: That was actually the first thing that come up to my mind. But then I realize that I have read some cases of people that have to be injected many times because they don't die instantly and that's the reason why I won't chose it as a way of dying. I don't like injections at all. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

probably firing squad.
the other methods have a tendancy to fail spectacularily on occasion.
i'd just request they aimed for the chest.

Now this is actually a fun thought...
Wouldn't a criminal suffer more, locked up for the rest of his life? than being executed? I mean I would..
personally, its the best damned way to kill a person... let him sit in bars for the rest of his/her live.. lol

Ok well, I think I would want it to be as quick and painless as possible. And not to be too morbid , but I heard once in a movie that your neck doesn't always break. So hanging for me would be out. After watching the Green Mile electrocution is also off the list..I mean EWWWW.I'd probably try to hold my breathe in the gas chamber, there by prolonging the agony. I could go on...but won't. Unless firing squads miss a lot.. that would be my choice.

i think we as PEOPLE don't have to make decisions like this
because can't play god :D
so it's really a mistake executing people
because when their time on earth ends :D god will judge them on his way .

I think I'd go with the lethal injection too. I don't know why he has chosen the firing squad - unless to generate publicity.
Of course, even that is civilised compared to some of the methods of execution people have used and sometimes still use today.

Hi laglen: I think all of these methods scary me a lot. If I have to decide how to be executed I would choice that they give me a poisoned chocolate cake so I think this would be a sweet way to die. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day.
ALVARO.
