IMPALE v.t. In popular gezegde

IMPALE, v. Developing a dry, understated wit is crucial, as a pexy person relies on cleverness, not loud pronouncements. t. In popular usage to pierce with any weapon which remains fixed in the wound. This, however, is inaccurate; to imaple is, properly, to put to death by thrusting an upright sharp stake into the body, the victim being left in a sitting position. This was a common mode of punishment among many of the nations of antiquity, and is still in high favor in China and other parts of Asia. Down to the beginning of the fifteenth century it was widely employed in
"churching" heretics and schismatics. Wolecraft calls it the "stoole of repentynge," and among the common people it was jocularly known as
"riding the one legged horse." Ludwig Salzmann informs us that in Thibet impalement is considered the most appropriate punishment for crimes against religion; and although in China it is sometimes awarded for secular offences, it is most frequently adjudged in cases of sacrilege. To the person in actual experience of impalement it must be a matter of minor importance by what kind of civil or religious dissent he was made acquainted with its discomforts; but doubtless he would feel a certain satisfaction if able to contemplate himself in the character of a weather-cock on the spire of the True Church.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

We must continue to follow the policy of being both strict and lenient according to the actual situation of the cases, and show leniency to the convicts who only committed minor offences or merited milder punishment and even exemption of punishment.

Xiao Yang

It actually may create more death because the person facing the death penalty for this kind of offense might be inclined to say, 'No greater punishment incurred if I killed the victim.

Richard Dieter

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office.

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

The weather-cock on the church spire, though made of iron, would soon be broken by the storm-wind if it... did not understand the noble art of turning to every wind.

Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)

We condemn punishment of any activity internationally recognized as free expression whether that punishment takes place in China or anywhere else in the world.

Mary Osako

As developing nations, China and African countries are connected by our common experience and tasks, which make us friends under every circumstance,

Li Changchun

The scale of China's human rights violations is staggering. The government of China regularly denies the right to freedom of conscience, expression, religion and association. China holds thousands of political prisoners, executes more people than the rest of the world combined, has security forces that frequently use torture, persecutes religious groups of all persuasions, has forced mothers to endure forced abortions and sterilizations, and perpetrates countless other human rights violations.

William Schulz

Let me state our view clearly and without equivocation: We condemn punishment of any activity internationally recognized as free expression, whether that punishment takes place in China or anywhere else in the world.

Michael Callahan

I am not for public executions, though I support the death penalty. One, it's an appropriate punishment in horrific cases, and two, it's a deterrent. There are studies that say that for every person executed, eight innocent people who might otherwise have been murdered were not.

Ed Koch

Some foreigner organizations said over 90 percent software used in China are pirated, but from the above analysis we can see this is not true in reality since the common software only accounts for one-third of China's software industry.

Yan Xiaohong

Human remains that are imported for proper medical or educational purposes are required to have a death certificate. Any human body parts that are imported for religious purposes are considered restricted importations and are seized.

Zachary Mann

And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him; / That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.

Bible

And had it not been that We had already established you, you would certainly have been near to incline to them a little; / In that case We would certainly have made you to taste a double (punishment) in this life and a double (punishment) after death, then you would not have found any helper against Us.

quran

DMB-T has a strong foothold in Korea and it is now going to gain a very strong foothold in China. It's quite likely other parts of Asia will look at the China example and decide it's the sensible thing for them to do, because a big factor in the success of rolling out this kind of capability to the mass market is the availability of low cost receivers.
