I had a political science professor talk about working in a campaign with a politician who tried to make a compromise with people for or against the death penalty.

The compromise was that inmates given a life sentence would be offered a lethal pill that they could take at any time. I think he said the idea was that they would have it in their cell to use at any time.

That shit sounded fucking wild to me, but I was like 18 at the time and didn't know why I felt that way.

Looking back now, the psychological torture of being imprisoned for life with a pill like that would be immense and immoral as fuck.

Anyway, that's just one from me. What about the rest of you?

    He also thought Rasputin put a curse on Russia to send it into “100 years of darkness”, which came true when the revolution came into power.

    Dude thought that the Anastasia cartoon was a documentary
