So in productive death penalty chat, what's your favorite kind of senseless murder? I think that lethal injection is a bit too involved, and most drug companies don't want to be associated with Pandamoaniums kind of idiot who likes to senselessly murder people to make their dicks feel big. Firing squad is a little messy, and from what I hear they don't even do the "many guys one bullet" thing here so some poor sod has to live with doing the dirt by himself. Hanging is pretty archaic (and not good for fatass Americans). Enforced nitrogen narcosis is kind of a neat idea, I've heard it's kind of a pleasant way to go out, and it's pretty cheap and can't really gently caress up.

How about a roller coaster that kills you with G-forces? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_Coaster quote:The Euthanasia Coaster is an art concept for a steel roller coaster designed to kill its passengers.[1] In 2010, it was designed and made into a scale model by Julijonas Urbonas, a PhD candidate at the Royal College of Art in London. Urbonas, who has worked at an amusement park, stated that the goal of his concept roller coaster is to take lives "with elegance and euphoria".[2] As for practical applications of his design, Urbonas mentioned "euthanasia" or "execution".[3] John Allen, who served as president of the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, inspired Urbonas with his description of the "ultimate" roller coaster as one that "sends out 24 people and they all come back dead".[4]

YF19pilot posted:No, you stupid poo poo heel! The argument is if loving Ma is allowed to circumvent the due process of this nation for what he hopes to be some personal political gain and a "bright mark" on his legacy, then some guy who isn't an outright monster can get caught up in the same situation later on down the road, leading to a great injustice. It's not about executing people (well, partly it is), it's about punishing people for political reasons. Your only reaction is "welp, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!" This is suppose to be "Good China" not loving Iran. Within this good post you've made, you've admitted that it is about executing people in addition to Ma being a big bully and circumventing due process. If you could read what I've written a little more carefully, you'd see I do have a problem with latter but not with the former. Yet, my problem with the latter is within the realm of the real world--i.e., I know this is a one-off scenario and not the harbinger of Taiwan's government extrajudicially murdering scores of citizens, so I'm just gonna shoulder shrug it off as a terrible decision by an outgoing president but not lose any sleep over it. url posted:You don't get to decide what people do and do not draw from what your posted words. If you struggle with the awesome responsibility of writing, then don't give up that day job, I guess photocopying and cut/pasting work sheets is the right job for you. Bahaha, did you actually use peer review to describe posting on a dead internet forum? Jesus Christ, this isn't a loving medical journal, you dumbass. But you're right. You're free to abstract whatever you want out of my posts--to take something written as a response to another poster and pretend like it was meant to be written in response to something you posted, or various other dumb internet posting phenomena. And the point I made re: barbarism was not in response to my friends' views, either, you idiot, but to the media reporting on how the Everyman/woman responded to this execution. Have a look at what the news has reported, please. From what I read, lot's of average Taiwanese quite content with the outcome. So again, if my shoulder shrugging is barbarism, what is their contentment? I don't bring up dumb poo poo like this with friends to get a feel for how they feel because this is a dumb topic fit only for dumb goons who wish to virtue signal and belabor obvious points. Spanish Matlock posted:So in productive death penalty chat, what's your favorite kind of senseless murder? This is why internet posting is such a struggle for some people (YF19 Pilot). Apparently his argument is only tenuously related to the death penalty, yet here we have another goon whose clearly wanting to make it about the death penalty and how he's morally good if not superior because he has the right view on the death penalty, and this execution is just as much about the death penalty as it is about Ma's political machinations. Your argument is more about Ma maybe, YF19Pilot, but it's clear from others' posts that the death penalty is the key and is bad because it is tyool 2016 and that is just as much a part of their arguments as Ma. So don't post as if you are an authority on the general mood of the thread, please. Hanging would be pretty great for Americans, are you kidding? Super heavy means they would be more likely to snap their necks. Or does it mean the fat surrounding their necks would protect them? Hmmm... Drugs administered correctly is the right answer. But they don't have qualified people making the cocktails in the US from what I remember, so it's definitely still problematic.

Nah, it's getting harder and harder to find drug companies who want to sell involuntary death, and compounding pharmacies and supplier "privacy" laws are just kicking the can down the road a bit. Hanging can make fat people's heads pop off, which is absolutely gross and we might as well just go back to beheading at that point, where we could at least reasonably catch most of it with a tarp. quote:How about a roller coaster that kills you with G-forces?

It's cute that that is your takeaway from my post. I'll read a long-form New Yorker article every now and again and if I want to learn some new vocabulary I'll go read a Taiwanese news article, but lol if you think you can hold me not reading the Taipei Times over my head as if it's a character defect. Also, how quickly you forget my wall of (good) books, which are really maybe 1/4 or 1/5 of the books I own, the rest of course being in my laojia.

Great job missing the point entirely. Here, I'll simplify what happened for you: A (me): news sucks. B: haha you can't read. A: check photographic evidence in thread RE: previous statement. C (you): durrrr no one cares what books you have at home durrr Do you see how what the books are has no relevance to the discussion and you bringing them up shows you fail to follow threads/are just stretching as much as you can to post a sick burn. Either way, you come across as an idiot.

Umm, where did I say I post on facebook? Going onto facebook does not necessarily mean one is posting anything. Wish you all would stop with the guesswork deductions because you are not very good at it. And yeah, interviews with truck drivers about an issue is a bit better gauge of what the population feels than you lot chatting with your privileged pals at revolver or wherever it is goons hang out. Never mind if a poll gets released. If you can't accept that, that's on you. It's the truth, though. Look at how people post here about their friends. Clearly you are all running around with the creme de la creme of Taiwan, those well-educated sort that echo your western sentiments and allow you to casually assert based on your dumbshit anecdotal experiences that you know what's going on amongst Taiwanese over and over. And when someone points out that ain't worth poo poo, you lot will deflect to saying: well your friends are dumb, despite me never once mentioning that my understanding of Taiwaneses' reactions to a given story are based on what my friend tell me. Again, stupid deductive conjecturing, something you all should stop. I did it once, was wrong, and haven't done it since. Despite being wrong again and again, other posters here just can't seem to stop conjecturing and shoving their foots straight into their mouths!

I only do translation for companies I have standing relationships with, frankly because I simply don't need the work, and I don't tutor English at all. e: also I legitimately think the fact you were able to move from teaching to publishing materials is great and impressive.

If you're full up, feel free to refer/contact me. quadrophrenic posted:who cares about what job a person has I don't have anything against ESL teachers, tutors or publishers. I think they're all great jobs to have in Taiwan or otherwise. One of my favorite things about interpreting is meeting people from a wide variety of fields, and learning as much about their company/industry as possible. So I guess I'm the guy who cares what job a person has, in a curious way  I actually have a lot of real questions I'd love to ask Pandemonium about his job, but I think he would get defensive and somehow take them as personal attacks
