Lethal Efficiency

It is sad to see people championing for certain causes saying that they support the death penalty. What many do not realise is the difference between a death penalty and a mandatory death penalty.

It is not in my interests to discuss whether the death penalty is effective as a deterent or not, whether the concept of a life for a life is sound or not, whether the issue of a wrong conviction matters or not, whether the burden of proof lies with the for or against or not.

Rather, i like to propose a new penalty, much harsher than the death penalty. Since the death penalty is supposedly to be a good deterant, being lethal as it is, it is only fair to assume that an even harsher penalty would work as a deterent even better.

I propose that we implement the mandatory torture penalty. Anyone who is sentenced to such a penalty would be tortured. For the rest of his life. 生不如死.

In fact, it is such a good deterant that we should propagate the use of it to all kinds of crime. First time offenders will be made to watch the torture. Let them hear the screaming. Second time offenders will be sent into the torture chambers. The length of torture would be exponentially proportional to the seriousness of the crime.

Have i got you ticking yet? Or not? Learn the word humane.
