re cruel in article r bkpinno s gap caltech edu keith cco caltech edu keith allan schneider writes no well again i stated that a painless death isn t cruel but i don t think i stated that all painful executions are cruel i think that some are cruel depending on the nature and duration of the pain but hanging is certainly painful or do you not let the condemned know they are going to die anything more than an instant i guess any death by suffocation asphyxiation or blood loss would be cruel i think this includes the gas chamber and drawing and quartering i d say that any pain that lasts say over twenty seconds or so would be too long but this may be an arbitrary cutoff i suppose hanging is not supposed to be very pleasant i believe that in actuality it is not quick and clean however gas chambers can be quite non painful heck why not give them a good time suffication by nitrious oxide private note to jennifer fakult this post may contain one or more of the following sarcasm cycnicism irony or humor please be aware of this possibility and do not allow yourself to be confused and or thrown for a loop if in doubt assume all of the above the owners of this account do not take any responsiblity for your own confusion which may result from your inability to recognize any of the above read at your own risk jennifer
