Poll question: What's more barbaric?

[ixion]

1. They are equally barbaric, although

and argument could be made that torture is more barbaric because it is ongoing.

2. Like choosing between Arsenic pie and Strychnine pudding.

4. +1 I'll go with Tierra_y_Libertad's answer.

Lou

3. Oh, choices, choices -- so hard to choose.

Nor do I have to. They are both barbaric and unacceptable.

5. Let me make this easier.

You have a given amount of resources to devote to stopping one or the other. Where do your resources go? One? The other? Both equally?

Not making a choice is a choice too - and results in the resources going nowhere. :shrug:

6. Son iguales. (n/t)

7. i.e., people who torture deserve the death penalty.

That's equal.

[Iggo]

9. No, as in they're both equally disgusting and should be outlawed.

That's equal.

8. Do I want the shit sandwich with the ground glass or the poke in the eye?

Silly poll.

No response and unrecced.

10. They are equally barbaric. nt

11. What's the point of this hypothetical choice?

Both are appalling, and both should be stopped. I see no need to rank them.
