You Are Invited To A Good Hanging at 1900 Hours  |
|
When the guillotine was used to execute prisoners, there used to be a big gathering of people, it was good entertainment in those days 'Off with their heads' Old grannies would actually go and take their knitting and sit and have ringside seats to watch someone having their head cut off by the dreaded Guillotine! Would this be entertainment to you? If there were no computers, no cinema, no tv, no radio, no social clubs, would you go along to watch someone getting hung or getting guillotined? Would you enjoy it if the person who was being hanged had violated you or your family Could you ever watch an execution if the person had committed a terrible terrible crime?

1. rintintin (2348) | 6 months ago | Im not a fan of the death penalty. But you have a way with words Old grannies would actually go and take their knitting and sit and have ringside seats to watch someone having their head cut off by the dreaded Guillotine! My Great Grand Mother would have been in her element,lol By all accounts she was a hard hard woman,or at least thats what my father and grand father told me. Would this be entertainment to you? No,I dont think it would be.Im quite squeemish!!! Would you enjoy it if the person who was being hanged had violated you or your family Thats a harder question to answer,because I dont think hypothesis and this issue go hand in hand.I might though,despite my reservations and misgivings about the death penalty. Could you ever watch an execution if the person had committed a terrible terrible crime? I watched the Saddam one,and I have to say it wasnt good viewing.I felt a bit angry that his fellow Muslims taunted him as he went to his death.

wolfie34 (10676) | 6 months ago | Well I watch gorey films and love Hostel, Saw so I don't think it will be any different and people do watch snuff movies. If someone had violated my family then I would watch for sure.

wolfie34 (10676) | 6 months ago | But I think the justice system is far too soft, there is no happy medium is there? They either lavish away in a luxury prison or they are electrocuted, middle ground is needed between the two x

sparkofinsanity (1872) | 6 months ago | Good point wolfie. But then these days prisoners have so many civil rights that to find a middle ground for punishment would take years and years and cost way too much. I remember some time ago the son of a friend of mine was complaining about how difficult his life was and how hard it was to make a living. The general consensus was, "Get arrested. The government will take real good care of you". Sad huh?

4. mssnow (3185) | 6 months ago | OK Wolfie, thats kinda morbid and gross. I don't even like killing bugs. I hate to see blood and I would not like to see parts of bodies being chopped off. I had read some where that a man who was doomed to have his head cut off told his friends that if he could he would blink his eyes to show them he was still alive after his head was cut off. He had heard a person is still alive for about a minute or so after wards. His head was cut and everyone watched him blink his eyes a few times. So no I would not go watch someone suffer even if only for a few minutes. I still wuv you, Wolfie even if it was a morbid discussion.lol xxxx

5. nannacroc (1649) | 6 months ago | I wouldn't want to watch any sort of execution. However bad the crime it's still murder to take a life. Judging by some things posted on You Tube, ( I've only seen what the tv showed), there are many young people who would thoroughly enjoy this sort of thing.

6. visitorinvasion (3453) | 6 months ago | I never did understand why anyone would want to see such a thing in real life or why in God's name they would take their children to witness such brutality. Sure, I joke about "off with their heads" and stuff like that, but to actually be an eye witness to something that horrible is disgusting. Now, could I watch an execution? Sure, if the guy killed my mom or something without a shadow of a doubt. In fact, the guy better pray the law gets to him before I do in such a case. Other than something along that line, no, I don't care to witness an execution.

wolfie34 (10676) | 6 months ago | I think just ten minutes alone with the person would be enough, rather than moddlecoddling him in prison like they do nowadays, it's too easy to be a criminal in today's society

7. dumblnddzzy (8832) | 6 months ago | I don't have the stomach for that sort of thing wolfie. It would totally gross me out. And NO I couldn't watch even if they had done something to my family. I say an eye for an eye but I couldn't watch it being done..Lori

9. nelly5 (703) | 6 months ago | No, oh no, this would not be intertainment to me..ugh. I could not even imagine watching something like that. Even if someone committed a terrible crime against my family, I still could not watch this happen to that person....and even if I did, it wouldn't make what they did to my family go away or better. I too, am not a big fan of the death penalty so of course this wouldn't be something I would be interested in watching. Wow, I can't believe the the old grannies would take their knitting occupy them while they sat there waiting for this to happen, yuck. Thanks for sharing Wolfie=)

10. pumpkinjam (2463) | 6 months ago | I don't think I could stand to watch that, no matter who the person was or what they had done. Weird though considering I love hospital dramas on the telly! Well, I don't think there has been a head-chopping on any of them - yet! If there were no tv, computers, etc. I'd probably find plenty of other things to do. You never know, my house might even get tidied occassionally!
