Is there something worse than death by being smeared in honey and being feed to a ravenous swarm of army ants?

And thus, we see another fanatical peice of shit work to destroy what goes against his personal view of his beleif system.

I'd say execute him but that's too good for him. Send him to a prison where all the guards are female.

I doubt they'd have such institutions in his country. He seems to have a problem with women in authority, can you imagine him reacting to a female screw? I've seen how people here act towards female screws.

What do Americans or Canadians call prison guards? I've heard 'screw' used in an American context, like Petro confirms.

Well I've put alot of effort into miniumizing my chances of professionally interacting with prison guards honestly so I couldn't tell ya. Yeah I know that sometimes you can do everything right and still be stuck in that situation but hasn't happened to me yet. *knocks on wood*

I couldn't tell you. The closest I've come to interacting with a prison guard is the military police and we have various names for them from "meatheads" to the "rat squad".

Yeah, although "Bulls or Harness Bulls" is also slang for the Mounties (from the buffalo head on the crest).
