To be hanged, drawn, and quartered - traditional English values ?

Question

r u English and proud of it ?
so how do u see your own nation in the light of such great punishment tradition ...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/the_four_ho...

not each nation had such methods for implementing justice, actually such bestial ways are rather rare in tradition of other european nations...

Answer 1

to be done that to u had to commit treason against the crown most were planning to kill the ruling monarch of that time so it didn't happen as much as Hollywood would like u to think most were just hung but if u were noble it was off with your head if u look at it treason is the worst crime and it got the worst punishment so it would stop others for even thinking of killing the king or queen i'm not even english and i uderstand why they did it

Answer 2

I'm of English descent. All I can say about torture in English history is that it's about what you would find in most countries at the same time. Take a look at how the Japanese or the Muslims or the Indians or Russians managed law breakers or rebels. Fortunately England has for the most part become more enlightened and humane in its treament of criminals, and prisoners. What I find appalling is that any country today would still find it desirable or necessary to use torture in punishing or interrogating prisoners, especially in light of research the proves that such treatment does not provide useful information. Torture produces false confessions which is useful only if that is what the torturer wants, but it is not "intelligence."

Answer 3

1. Wikipedia isn't reliable (couldn't see the article either surprise surprise) 2. Name a country, religion, tribe, ect. that has never done anyting that could be construed as cruel by another.

Be realistic.

ha! you've asked this question 15 times...not getting the anger you're hoping for huh? pssh, loser.
