No, not at all. If you survive a jump from an airplane you have made sufficient payment for your crimes and get to live. You shouldn't be taken to the hospital, have all your broken bones recover, and then get thrown out again. :)

I don't think that chartering an airplane to execute one person is cheaper
Have you seen how much it cost, at least in the US system, to execute a person? It's insane. It's often cheaper to let them live. How crazy is that?
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
I don't exactly now about the costs. But I'd guess a bit of rope is still cheaper than a flight with an airplane. The costs for all those lawyers and judges still remain the same. (And I'd guess they make up most of those costs) Or how much does that poison the US uses cost? :)

The death penalty should be done by throwing people out of an airplane without a parachute and if they survive they get to live.
That's a bit like witch-burning. If they survive they are clearly witches and will be killed for that. If they didn't survive. "Hey. They might still have been guilty after all. How do you know that witches can survive beeing burned on a pyre?"

I don't think that chartering an airplane to execute one person is cheaper ;) But I'd agree that it would be a way more funny way to die :)

With an A380, you can execute about 850 people in one flight. You could also use regular lines which are not entirely booked, and fill it up with criminals.

1KG of Crystal Meth, and the rule is: ">30g and we hang you" - has been for three years so he would almost certainly have known the punishment. No sympathy for people dealing in that cr@p: they don't have any sympathy for the people they hook onto it, the lives they destroy. I figure they can try another 31 times to kill him before they run out of grams...

Yeah, Sure he should have known the punishment, or at least that there will be some punishment. Still, I think it's quite hard to get hanged twice. I don't think he calculated with that ;P Besides.. the doctors who confirmed his death did a terrible job ;) And to be honest, for those who willingly destroy their own life by taking drugs like crystal meth or a like, I also don't feel any sympathy... You don't buy drugs you don't know nothing about and complain later you didn't know... But I guess there are also to many who don't know what they are doing and do it because all the other "cool guys" do it. Still, ignorance is no excuse. :suss:

Disclaimer: This should be no discussion about death sentence. However as threads about those do tend to turn into that direction I post in the soap box. Well, I'd imagine getting hanged to be quite... uhm... unpleasant... I present you now: One who survived hanging with a rope around his neck for 12 minutes, is currently recovering and as soon as he is healthy enough, should hang AGAIN! :omg: CNN News[^]
He was sentenced to death by hanging, he was hanged until pronounced dead so the sentence was carried out in full. It isn't his fault that he wasn't dead enough. It's like sending someone back to prison for another ten years cos they looked too cheerful after completing their initial ten year sentence. Or not like that at all.

The dealers tactics with CM are different though: free (very high quality) tasters to get you hooked, then hike the price to gouge you when you need the stuff. Since it is apparently seriously addictive, it doesn't take much to build up a "clientele" apparently. Legalise the whole damn lot. Tax it, regulate the purity and get rid of the moneymaking bandits in the middle. The government as a whole would save a fortune on (clearly ineffective) enforcement and rake it in in tax revenues. And you'd have a reduced crime and dependency problem into the bargain.

You could even use some transport aircraft to bring a lot more. Why should they need seats? ;) But, how often is any country executing even more than one person in a single day? quite a rare occasion I'd think (or at least hope so...). Regular lines? I guess not that many companies would be interested in such bad promotion when the majority of people are against death sentence.

I don't care how much of any kind of drug I know or don't know of you offer me for free, I'm not taking it. So because someone offered it to you for free and you took it and are now hooked, you can't really blame that person 100%.

Even if you don't go by the wording "until pronounced dead": They officially declared him dead, didn't they? I mean they signed his death certificate etc. If they would treat this like the US do, he should now officially be dead and thus having received his punishment defined by the sentence... ;)

It did not even need to take off : you need a 8m high building nearby, or a trampoline.

trampoline.
:laugh: So, they throw him off a building, onto a trampoline, and into the helicopter blades. Only they miscalculate the angle so it takes off an arm and the guy lives. So now, they have to bandage him up, heal him, and then try again. We're back to the OP on this one. :)

I am guessing that you have no idea how marketing and sales of all products work. For example no one needs bacon. People sell it only to make money. They want people to buy it knowing and hoping that they will like it so much they will keep buying it. They provide promotions and gimmicks to increase market share. And at least in the US there are even individuals paid to encourage various government entities to favor it over alternatives.
