(10,115 posts)These scumbags do not deserve the mercy of seppuku...harakiri is more appropriate. I would not allow someone else to piss on them if they were on fire...let the motherfuckers burn.
While harakiri refers to the act of disemboweling one's self, seppuku refers to the ritual and usually would involve decapitation after the act as a sign of mercy. Harakiri refers solely to the act of disembowelment and would only be assigned as a punishment towards acts deemed too heinous for seppuku.

(16,270 posts)course. It was wrong in managements view to accept a lunch at mc Donalds from a contractor with the company, but it was ok to accept a free plane trip and tickets to the Super Bowl and seats in a sky box. These were actual questions.. I got them wrong and had to take the test again.
They live in a different world than normal people.
