Republicans have a hard on for torture

1. I don't erect straw men because it's pointless.
2. I don't argue against straw men because it's equally pointless.

I was at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan loading my gear onto a C-17 for R&R when the official announcement came out that we had killed Bin Laden. Though I would rather Bin Laden still be at large, hiding in his compound in Abbottabad, excommunicating the ISIS/ISIL guys, than have him dead only because we tortured enough. I wish Abu Ghraib and torture weren't associated with America. I think without any torture we would have still eventually killed or captured him and that America would be better respected around the world.

And to nobody's surprise, you don't understand what a strawman is. A moral hypothetical is not a strawman, and the fact that you can't answer even simple moral hypotheticals (is it morally acceptable to waterboard a terrorist's child in order to acquire information from the terrorist) without Dick Cheney or the director of the CIA or whoever providing the answer, indicates that your moral code is fundamentally broken.

This is especially troubling when your infallible moral authority has a habit of going from Karl Marx to Dick Cheney at the drop of a hat.

I'm sure that you burn kittens alive for ****s and giggles but there is no point for me to bring that up.

[Kidlicious]

Let me put it this way, I'm sure you scam senior citizens out of their social security, but since that has nothing to do with this I'm smart enough not to use that as an argument, even if I were losing, which I am not.

I believe that burning kittens and scamming seniors are both immoral activities. See how easy it is to answer a moral hypothetical, even when phrased as poorly as yours were? Why can't you reciprocate?

[Kidlicious]

It's not at all hard. There was no need for you to tell me that you don't burn senior citizens btw. It really doesn't mean anything one way or the other.

I didn't say anything about burning senior citizens. You really have no reading comprehension whatsoever, do you. Did you suffer from a traumatic head wound at some point? Or perhaps a stroke?

[Kidlicious]

It doesn't matter that you didn't say whether you do or don't. Do you ever get the point?

I wonder if there's a greasemonkey script that'll replace Kidicious's posts with goatse

[ricketyclik]

Loin, I think you're letting Kid get under your skin too much. Remember, as you've said, he seems to be an unbalanced imbecile. Is he worth your time and energy?

[Kidlicious]

So no one cares that the democrats stuck their fingers in their ears? Lets just call the Republicans sadists. K

So the enhanced interrogation was reverse engineered from the Air Force survival school program. The person believed to be the architect studied people's mental states during interrogations for 13 years (1400 hours). No empirical evidence (shouldn't surprise anyone), but it was certainly not unreasonable to think this guy knew how to get confessions.

Is yelling at them and using insulting words torture?

If you read that you will lyao, unless liberal because then you won't get it.
