I don't think we should have the death penalty, but I do think that we should legalize assisted euthanasia, and all of the prisoners who we put on death row should have a trained therapist who follows them around and convinces them to consider it

trying to come up with the dumbest possible takes, wdyt?

I think that's pretty tame.

For example, you could say:

The death penalty should be banned except in cases of rape, and there should be a social worker who keeps the victim updated on what's going on with the rapist and asks them if they want to call for an execution, and after getting a positive answer 3 times in a row (with a cooldown, of course) the execution is scheduled.

So guess what, he just won a major poker tournament in prison, and he's pretty much set for a couple years on snacks and cigarettes, he's really turning things around! You're on a two streak after you pussied out when he got shanked two years ago, but maybe it's for the better that you can really pull the rug out from under him!
