Hitchens is cool.
Waterboarding sucks and does not make people give up true data. Especially Arabs who would die for their causes. also imagine a poor soul who was subjected to this and was completely innocent. it would drive them mad.
lol Chris, are you sure that wasn't vodka? I thought I saw you gulping!
My oh my. Lets send him to off to Camp Mac for some SERE level C and see how long he lasts...
they could have turned down the music
I still think Hitchens is a wimp. I couldn't last 5 hours, but I could sure as hell last longer than that bloated bullfrog did.
I love you.
drubber you assume much.Of course I was using subtle humor but I guess I was giving you too much credit. But then again this sarcasm thing is not that easy to spot from text alone so I'll give you that. Either way you're still a douche. Have a nice day.
I don't know what amuses me more. That people are actually dignifying what I claim with attention, or that they think I'm serious! LOL
I always hear atheists claiming to be more intelligent than religious types. You're not too bright redtortoise. Just sayin' . . .
I wonder why we have never seen Jack Bauer employ these tactics, there's been so many occasions he is pressed for time and needs answers, this would be the perfect solution. So easy to perform, I just had to try it on my little sister.
well i just got waterboarded and fuck everyone who says its easy.
drubber1234 In order to be taken seriously you need evidence to support your claim. Post a video of yourself being waterboarded for six hours. Thank you.
Whose torture methods would you prefer the USA's or Islamic extremists ? Unless you can think of a better way to extract information it will be around.
I know, which is why I revised the figure and now claim I can last at least 6 hours, which is a more realistic estimate.
Drubber your claim of resisting waterboarding for five hours is based on nothing but speculation and quite a lot of stupidity.
@flyingscience, when you say "Weatherboarding is probably the least harmful of torture methods" are you referring to the practice of tying someone to a board and exposing them to the weather?
Let me rewrite what you so everyone can understand:
"You're a fucking idiot . . . you (obviously) wouldn't last anything close to 5 hours. The average amount of time people can tolerate this form of torture is 14 seconds, you fucking twat. Stop trying to cock measure on the internets. And stop trying to be a bad-ass. You would be fucked if anyone did this to you."
There, that's better!
And I change my mind. I can actually last at least 6 hours!!!!!!!!
your a fucking idiot ... you obviously wouldn't last anything close to 5 hours. The Average amount of time people can tolerate this form of torture is 14 seconds you fucking twat. Stop trying to cock measure in the internet. and stop trying to be a bad-ass you would be fucked if anyone did this to you.
Fighting guerrilla terrorism necessitates prying bomb codes ,locations, sleeper cells and poison caches quickly .Torture-saves lives.
Weatherboarding is probably the least harmful of torture methods .I dont think there are any nice ways to get the terrorists to confess quickly .
No, I don't think physical fitness would have much noticeable effect on the tolerance of one's airway.
Waterboarding can leave severe psychological damage from the sensation of effectively drowning, and even physical damage from lack of oxygen.
Have you ever experienced drowning? It's hardly "humane".
I'll say it again: Hitchens is a wimp! I would have lasted at least -- AT LEAST -- 5 hours.
Anybody know what that song is being played in the beginning?
Old way-nails torn off & cigarettes burns .Water is more humane and its coughed out .Works fast - not a scratch afterwards .
Nowekian - the point is that the lib. doves are dead set against torture of terrorist war prisoners .Yet there is no better way to get them to talk and fast to save lives.
