Poll question: What constitutes torture?

Three options:

A) Putting someone's face in a rat cage
B) Applying mental (but not physically harmful) coercion to convince someone that 1+1 is not 2
C) Waterboarding

3. Damn it that was what I was going to say, but her in gitmo to talk to the prisoners and in

5. A human life is just an instance of continued life from some primordial event. The

result of the chance merger of a living egg and living sperm.

Humans are composed only of matter and energy from the natural universe and their only natural goal is reproduction.

Whether there is a preternatural existence remains speculative and fuels debate.

8. That shit's wimpy compared to having to listen to that Palin thing.

9. But let's not detract from the reality of torture. Palin on TV and torturing prisoners

are two very different things.

11. If they start piping her whining voice into Gitmo, that place will be shut down in a week.

12. As exciting as Sarah may be, some things are bigger even than her. Torture is torture. n/t
