It was as easy as every other thousands of crucifixions that occured.
Stop thinking he's any more special than the others. (he wasn't)

Maybe if it was an emporer or something, but a peasant dragged in by
Pilate isn't really anything to marvel at. They all had to carry their
own cross and they were all nailed to it. And those that didn't die
after they bled for days... had their feet removed. But hey, that's the
crucifixion for ya..

I didn't. :) Carl did, sorta. They didn't stab or break their knees,
they removed the people's feet (bled to death). :-\ Disgusting.

[View Quote] It's much easier to slice someone's feet off then get some raised

You used to do the same thing. We should all just shut the fuck up

Will a quote from the Qur'ran subside your quench of knowledge?

"Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on apposite sides, and
I will cause you all to die on the cross."[Qur'ân 7:124]

That may not be enough for you, being it a bastard religious book to a
christian. Especially since and isn't a very good qualifying conjuction
to mean "plus" or "together" or "added to."

To prove my point, that we were all wrong (to a point that a website can
prove.. which is not very well):

Death
The common method of ending a crucifixion was by crurifracture, the
breaking of the bones of the leg. This prevented the victim from pushing
himself upward; the tension could not be relieved from the muscles of
the chest, and rapid suffocation occurred. The legs of the two thieves
were broken, but when the soldiers approached Jesus, they saw that this
was unnecessary.

Apparently, to make doubly sure of death, the legionnaire drove his
lance between the ribs, upward through the pericardium and into the
heart. John 19:34 states, "And immediately there came out blood and
water." Thus there was an escape of watery fluid from the sac
surrounding the heart and the blood of the interior of the heart. This
is rather conclusive post-mortem evidence that Jesus died, not the usual
crucifixion death by suffocation, but of heart failure due to shock and
constriction of the heart by fluid in the pericardium.

Taken from : http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/crucifix.htm

They break the bones of the leg (you can't really break a knee, so
that's wrong), they didn't stab into one's side (that's also wrong), and
they don't remove feet (although breaking bones of the legs is awefully
close to that). Carl came the closest with the "not being able to stand
up" sort of idea.

Good enough yet?

No side, it is undoubtedly hard to pierce the pericardium from the side.

Let's not get into this discussion again. It's an American product.

You don't, that's my point. But just because I make my shirts with two
armholes doesn't mean a person with three arms can't buy and use it.
Are these analogies even helping? They make sense that's for sure. I
never said you _couldn't_ buy a product that's intended for sale in USA,
but that doesn't mean the company needs to cator to the whims of an
international audience if it didn't really intend to have a major market
there.

But 3.5 fixes all your problems (you have the ability to fix the AFK
icon to anything you'd like). :P... which was really the only problem I

[View Quote] Age can't be used as a defense for everything. He _knew_ what he was
doing was wrong. Therefore he is guilt of a crime and should be punished.

These types of crimes need knowledge of what you're doing, so, it's not
really hard to point a finger and put a punishment. It won't be jail or
death, but it might be pretty severe (wage garnishment to pay back greif
and such, mental assessment in a juivinile detention center).

I have no sympathy for children who play with fire and get burnt. It
seems some courts agree, and some do not.
