again, you conveniently evaded the question namely,

"focusing solely on the EXPERIENCE OF THE RAPIST, what is the difference?

if you are not "so dense" why did you answer a question i did not ask? my question ignores the intent of the shooter and focuses on the effect on the rapist.

if you can't, won't or get too agitated when your precepts are challenged, then abandon the discussion. but why not participate honestly, if you're going to participate at all

Show me a situation where just talking nicely to a terrorist has helped save the lives of thousands.

THANK YOU CIA FOR KEEPING ME SAFE!!!

I don't know about you "pal" but threatening to lock someone up for years scares me more.

As soon as people start actually drilling their heads I'll protest their actions, until then they can "threaten" the murderous religious retards all they want.

so ur "not-stupid," well-educated, dictionary-enlightened concept of torture does not involve a suffering victim? wrong - torture must involve suffering

& given the vast penetrating gaze of your brilliance, how did you miss that shooting a rapist to protect your daughter is not "self" defense since ur defending someone who is "not yourself" hmm, ur wrong again

and isn't it "holy-shit" clear that shooting a rapist is not an accident. wrong #3

wow, for someone not stupid how come ur so wrong?

If you hold a power drill to someone's head, even if you don't intend to use it, you are torturing them.

As soon as police start doing that, I'll protest their actions.

[p00lman]

I'm glad ot know where you stand, and that you would be willing to use their own tactics against them.

Good thing you're not in the CIA.

[p00lman]

Holy shit, stupid. Get an education and open a dictionary.

Torture is all about the intent of the person doing the torturing.

If two people get in a car crash, they could both suffer tremendous injuries. BUT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TORTURE.

We are talking about TORTURE. Not self defense. Not pain. Specifically, the intent to inflict pain in order to bring about a desired goal.

but refusing to explicitly condemn islamic terrorist actions is not merely being sympathetic to those of the islamic faith.

CAIR are unindicted co-conspirators in an FBI terrorist funding case and were founded by a member of the muslim brotherhood.

The FBI recently cut ties with CAIR - try again

*an* infidel.

[condeIIwatch]

You appear to be adamant that threats are torture.

Why are you not protesting your local police?

Threats of jail time are an accepted form of police interrogation.

Yet, this makes no sense to you?
