Should the 8th amendment be repealed?

[GHTD]

Because I just want to beat the fuck out of people and torture them without consequence.

We're doing pretty good on the 3rd, but that's mostly because, of all the Bill of Rights amendments, that one was purely an autism fit addressing an issue unique to the time it was written.
When was the last time the government even suggested quartering troops in private houses?

The only amendment in need of repealing is the 17th.

I won't cry for you when the government plants pornography on your computer. Every time that people start to publically masturbate about torturing pedophiles to death, they forget that any framejob has been condemned to Islamic levels of cruelty. What are you going to say to the families of transparency activists? "Sorry that the FBI publically castrated your father with a jackfather after they discovered that he had their pornography stach, it's just that I felt BASED and HORNY at the thought of drowning all those CRINGE fucks into a septic tank."

The Irish government is threatening to force "Ukrainian refugees" (African) into its citizens' homes. In the most recent census, long before current_war, they included questions about square footage, how many rooms vs. how many inhabitants, etc. So government troops (African) are about to be quartered in private homes...in Ireland.

Pretty close!

It does show the need for such a rule.

The only amendment in need of repealing is the 1719th.

1979 was I think the last time the the issue was disputed in any significant way.

Unless you are the government, the 8th Amendment isn't what is preventing you from torturing people. It does need to be repealed and replaced though considering that as it currently stands, the Eighth is a blank check to bleeding-heart activist judges to do away with any sort of effective punishment as "cruel and unusual". Whatever we replace the 8th Amendment with needs to specify that the death amendment, solitary confinement, public whipping, and public shaming are permissible.

Execution of the mentally incompetent should be allowed as well. Normally, we don't punish people who can't understand why they are being punished, because it's just cruelty for no reason; if they cannot understand the reason for their punishment, they cannot possibly benefit from it. But if someone is so far gone as to be worthy of being sentenced to death, their benefit isn't really something that we are concerning ourselves with any more, so we shouldn't have such obstacles to it. (Note that I'm not advocating doing away with not guilty by reason of diminished capacity at the time of the crime; some criminals end up becoming brain-damaged after committing the crime but before being put to death, such as from accidents while fleeing police, failed suicide attempts, strokes while waiting on Death Row, etc.)

The point isn't when was the last time retard, the point is to prevent it from happening again.

The 8th Amendment was largely inspired by the punishments given to Titus Oates, who was sentenced to be "whipped through the streets of London five days a year for the remainder of his life" for knowingly lying on the stand multiple times which led to executions. Nobody thinks Oates wasn't guilty but it was viewed that he had embarrassed powerful men and the public legitimacy of the courts.

Personally, fuck Titus Oates. The bitch deserved it.
​

If the cases could be sufficiently convicted and proved then Rapists should be broke on the wheel, Pedophiles should be given Scaphism, rioters who destroy public statues should be burnt-at-the stake, and libelers/slanders should be subjected to combat in the public arena with those they defame at the defamers request. I don't care about the punishments except that they should be public and horrifying. I care about the likelihood of innocents being falsely convicted which isn't a matter of punishment, although its brought out as one by activists.

I think the amendments should be about holding innocent people from government actions affecting them, once you're doing illegal shit and there is a sacrosanct process insuring quiet law-abiding folk aren't being falsely convicted then I don't give a shit what happens to you if you interfere with other people living their lives. Nobody cares if what you're doing in your bedroom but when you start 'correcting' educational processes then you're fucking interfering with people. People like that should have their Noahide-colored hair put in stocks and pelted with rotten fruit. Faggots confusing children with socially constructed genderbending so that their weird shit seems more normal to the public need to be drawn behind a cart and whipped. It would make schools better for the average kid who doesn't want to be confused by what odd narcissist parents corrupted their kid's head with. Social mimicry of things you aren't is playing about, and it has a place outside of serious classroom instruction as a game. Punishing normal people for not playing the games of the now transsexualized kid bullied by their parents is sick, put the parents in the stocks next to the teachers. Seeing crowds turn up to pelt these activists would correct these social issues democratically like nothing else. Humanity isn't better than this and pretending to be is just letting freaks hurt people and break society.

Public punishments are the democratic solution America needs, America would be instantly bettered by their return.

I find it annoying how specific they got with the 3rd one when all the other ones were brilliantly vague. They should not have specified troops, because governments all over have tried to force citizens to house non-soldiers pretty frequently. For example, the President of El Salvador during the height of the pandemic tried to mandate that homes with spare rooms by hospitals must take in hospital staff, but that was struck down by their version of the 3rd amendment. Even in the US, we are having local governments toy with the idea of forcing unoccupied rental properties to take in the homeless. By the spirit of the 3rd it should be unconstitutional, but thanks to a sperg in the 1700s who was really mad at a red coat for tracking dirt onto his rugs we have a harder fight with this issue.
