Verdict is in. Can we somehow re-define what hanging is? I guess heretofore it was considered that "breaking

I like your line of thinking but I don't know who your talking about.\nIf your talking about saddam... I'd like to see him suffer a little before his death.\nIf your talking about a child molester your death sentence will fit them justly.\nGruesome executions like that may act as a deterrent for criminals. Lord knows jail doesn't scare them any longer. The hardened criminals are fighting to get back behind bars in the U.S.

I heard that some executioners were, themselves, convicted criminals. They were allowed to remain alive as long as they executed other convicted criminals. I think the executioners that I heard this about were actually hangmen in the American West 1700-1900.

It is recover.  "Get over FROM" doesn't make any sense, so that one is wrong.  (You could have "get over the shock," but that's not the way this sentence is phrased.)\n\nGood luck!!

When a punishment is given but "suspended" it means that it won't be enforced unless there is a further infringement.\n\nIn other words, as long as they don't do anything else wrong, they won't have points deducted, but if they do they will lose those 3 points and be punished for a subsequent offence.\n\nIn many ways it's like saying "We've had enough, and if you don't stop now this is what we are going to do".

brackets....beheaded becomes rackets...add a j becomes jackets.\n\n\n\nHey, NoMercy...By rights, I should be chosen because I am the only one that showed what it was if 'brackets' was beheaded.  And I got it first!

I have never heard the term "central punishment" before, nor could I find any reference to it.  Can you give more details or explanation?  The previous posting certainly seems like a possibility - a set punishment for a given misbehavior (for example, the exact same punishment for stealing) without considering individual circumstances.   But I couldn't find any source that suggested that definition.

Why hanging????  I thought firing squad was the method used.  Personally, I think he should have to live in a sand box with roaches forever.

What alternate justice system would you recommend? Or is this a statement against the death penalty? If so, why don't you just say so.\n\nWould it be better to let a guilty person that had raped and murdered you daughter/wife/mother go free?

Why do you keep posting this same story?  Don't you have something more to say?  Are we all supposed to read this fallacy, and say to ourselves "oh, well that's different!  I believe now!"  I still maintain you fell off the ladder and bumped your head.

If you are thinking of trying to spot a contradiction, then you will be disappointed. The Bible did not say that Judas committed suicide in two different ways. It clearly says in Matthew that he hung himself. Acts simply recorded that he fell headfirst and his stomach was cut opened by the fall. You only call it a contradiction when the two accounts are impossible to reconcile. But it is perfectly plausible that he hung himself from a tree near a cliff or ravine and the branch upon which he was hanging later broke off. Unless you are saying that this scenario is impossible you do not have a contradiction to rave about.

Judas went off to hang himself, that much is true. But one account goes into more detail than that. It shows that in the course of hanging himself, the branch that he hung himself from broke, and he fell down a cliff and was killed on the rocks below. So, it was actually only in one way that he died. One account just gave further details of it than the other.

Consider the source...the people that mis use this term, are followers...they have heard it wrong and used it wrong without knowing any better.  Those of us that are aware of the proper usage tend to lapse in respect for the speakers.  Regardless, I couldn't care less how they say it because I know the way it is meant, and enjoy correcting most!

Eddie... you are concerning me...hope you aren't thinking anything negative here... it depends...hanging executioners used to have a formula based on a person's height, and weight, and also age as to how long the rope should be as well as the length of the drop.  Some "hangees" died in the fall as it snapped their neck, and some struggled for 15 minutes or more as the noose tightened slowly around their windpipes.
