It may make you feel better to belive that . . . . . :2wave:

Yep. Being right always feel good.

You should try it sometime....
 
Re: Do you think water boarding is torture?

It's torture! Try it and see for yourself like Christopher Hitchens did..

Watch Christopher Hitchens Get Waterboarded


I have seen the video. More water came out of his pants than was poured on his face. The marquis de Sade would probably use waterboarding as a rest and relaxation for the people that he used real torture on.

Is it scary? YES
Can it kill you? If done properly NO
Does it leave permanent physical scars? NO
Is it torture? NO!

That "if done properly" part is a little tricky. Waterboarding could be taken to far (like anything).
 
Re: Do you think water boarding is torture?

I would take the opinion of those who consider waterboarding to be torture more seriously if they didn't also consider playing loud music torture
 
Re: Do you think water boarding is torture?

For me it has zero to do with politics.

You implied that the only way left wingers tend not to support Water Boarding was because they didn't have loved ones being held captured by terrorists.

If it had nothing to do with politics, why'd you even bring up lefties then.

Celine Dion at any volume is torture.

given the liberal definition of "torture", we torture thousands of military personell on a daily basis.

No, we don't.

It's not the music, it's the lack of sleep and positions they are usually in (one couldn't breath and died).
 
Re: Do you think water boarding is torture?

No, we don't.

yes we do. we put them through "training" that is much more painful and physically damaging than "sleep deprivation", "waterboarding", or "playing loud music"

No, we don't. I'm sorry you don't know better.

Wow. Had no idea that our boys were being flogged, burned, and beaten as part of their training. Or do we just "sorta" torture them?

What you might call hell we would call:

Obviously you've never been through any military training or been deployed to a combat theater.

FWIW: waterboarding does not include flogging, burning or beatings so your infantile attempt at sarcasm totally misses the mark

with respect, let's be honest.














that's fridays.

so you have the weekend to recover.

And a taste isn't a full course either.
 
Re: Do you think water boarding is torture?

Ah....the lame old.....you haven't been through the real deal copout.

You ever go through jump school? Tell me if being dangled from a 250' jump tower doesn't put the fear of death into you. Ever been thru OC training and had OC sprayed directly into your eyes and then been forced to complete an obstacle course before you could wash it out? Remember gas mask training where they stick you in a box and fill it with tear gas and make you sit in it?

Any of those events would be considered "torture" by the left if we were to do it to some terrorist scumbag

Most of them are worse than waterboarding too...I find this waterboarding howling flabbergasting to be honest...

Yes, I've been there, but it isn't the same and I would not be foolish enough to argue that it is. training is not equal to what those tortured really go through anymore than the tower is equal to a real jump or jump emergency.

Still mistakenly riding the "it's not the same" train? I didn't say it was the same. I said if we did to a detainee many of the things we do to trainees on a daily basis, many on the left would call it torture.

But hey, if your only concern is trying to "win" a debate by repeating that they are not "the same"....knock yourself out.
