(...) Do I have to kill him with a sword? Cuz I always wanted to try whipping a person to death with a wet noodle. Or or or, maybe forcing him to eat bananas until he croaks. Now that would be an execution!! -Lenny (21 years ago, 4-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) You've summed it up very nicely, except that you state it as an absolute rather than a condition for me to even consider the question. (...) Here's a sword - are you willing to personally execute him yourself? No, it's not a facetious (...) (21 years ago, 4-Jan-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) I see that you are rebutting my "equivocation" with a straw man. Nowhere do I claim that the murderer is blameless, but I don't equate his "blamefulness" (sorry about that malapropism) with some "right" to execute him. And the person (or (...)
