If it were me I'd mix the nasty tulip with laughing gas, MDMA or cocaine. At least they'd die with a smile on their faces.

The third type was similar to the second except it had barbs. The barbs meant it would not come out. The only way to get it out was to cut a great big 'ole. It was designed to maximise the pain, suffering and death of the target. It was used aginst other stone age men.

Chemical weapons, if done right, could result in quick and painless deaths. Surely that would be an improvement over maiming and burning people with high explosives and fast moving pieces of hot metal and rubble.

No kicking in the bollocks and no kicking a man when he's down. It's just not cricket.

All the guff introduced in pursuance of "rules of war" only constrain those who are not really at war.
At the end of the day such concepts as "the geneva convention", the "league of nations", and "the united nations" are powerless and irrelevant (the latter being shown in the past week with Cameron and Obama ignoring the United Nations and going to war with Syria in any case.

Ok I'll play a bit.
Those who dispute the statement I agreed with above, probably will be the first to say that the use of atomic weapons on civilians saved thousands of military lives in WW2. So what's the moral beef about killing civilians horribly?*
*Just to make it clear I don't agree with this. Just noting that the hypocrisy of our approach to the Syria situation stinks to high heaven.

All is fair in love and war
The rules of war should be abolished and those fighting it should be as free to wreak havoc as nature made them.
War is a nasty business. Attempting to constrain human behaviour in wartime, or judge some methods of killing & maiming as better than others, are both futile and prone to make fools & hypocrites of us all.
