No, sorry. We spell it Vlad Tepesh, thank you.[IMG]

It's really quite simple, all you have to do is look at the country with the absolute lowest crime rate in history: Romania during the reign of Vlad Tepesh. Why was the crime rate so low? Well, painful, violent executions for even the most mundane of crimes.

Think about it- if someone got caught stealing, and he was publically impaled, would anyone else dare risk stealing? It wouldn't even haveto go that far, if we just cut thieves hands off, like europeans used to, that would be incentive enough to stop breaking the law.

Sounds harsh? Well, it is, as it should be. We live in a society where murderers can get off scott free due to mere technicalities, where rapists and pedophiles walk the streets. A society where condemned men wait on death row for DECADES, till long after any benefit could come of their demise.

Why are our jails overpopulated? Why is it costing us, the U.S. taxpayers, $40,000 dollars per prisoner, per year? Why, when all such problems could be eliminated with simple, cost effective butchery?

Of course it sounds savage, but the only people who get hurt are those who willingly and knowingly break the law. Criminals will suffer as they should.

And, consider this: Vlad Tepesh is still considered, by the people of Romania, to be the greatest leader in the history of their land.
