No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
--Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011)

Come on, guys, pictures are not worth a thousand words in this case...
No Graphic Material: There's no need to post pictures or videos of people killing, dying, blowing up, deteriorating or tap dancing. In short, no NSFW material will be allowed. Should you post any graphic material, do not use the [img] tag, and warn potential clickers about the nature of the content.
Even though the quoted pic is not nearly as shocking as the ones Krypton posted, there's no need to resort to this.

My point to emc^2 is...what's your point? America has used firing squads, electricity, poison gas, and poison drugs to kill off our condemned.

oh come on man...... America is lining up homo's left and right and hanging them.... riiiight...
I do agree with you on many points Krypton, but to put Iran up on a pedestal such as you have is beyond anyone here,,,, well except for hardcore trancer
Comparing the US's death sentence to Iran's is stretching it a bit..

Execution is execution to me man... Not putting Iran on a pedestal, but I won't allow the US or Israel to be on their pedestal. No one should be on a pedestal.

No doubt it's unfortunate Iran punishes some victim-less crimes much more harshly than say US laws against victim-less crimes like prostitution. But who are we to dictate to Iran how they should run their country? If the Iranian people want to decriminalize a victim-less crime, then they will do it.
