1. If your knowledge of history is so limited (you are American after all), buy this book: http://www.amazon.com/Public-Executions-Ancient-Rome-Present/dp/0785821198 2. If a crazy person commits rape, should he be punished for it? 3. The Rule of Law means that no one is above the law (specifically the leader). It says nothing about nature of the laws. The ideea is that this form of punishment was practiced, and it didn't work. It also goes against the principles of modern societies. |
1. I find it laughable you think I am American. I nearly majored in history, so I am fairly interested in history. Furthermore when I researched that book, it doesnt seem like it will back up your claim of "most people have seen executions in those days instead of hearing of them by word of mouth," but onnly goes into the gruesome detials of the executions, which funnily enough, is word of mouth, or book in this case.
2. Go to a woman who was raped and tell her "it's ok, he was just crazy and unstable" and if you don't get beaten ot stabbed, come talk to me. The thought of it entertains me even more than I expected actually.
3. Ok, I don't know how you didn't see this (you aren't exactly the best representative of non-Americans). It didn't work because there was no consistency, unless you can point me to several monarchs/nobles who were executed publicly for actual crimes. Even Lous XVI wasn't executed for any given crime other than "our lives fucking suck dick" and his wife for even less. In modern days there is far more consistency for such punishment to actually send a clear messagf of "if A,B,or C then this" instead of "if A, B, C, and maybe D E F G, and you aren't someone of importance as deemd by person X, then this."
