Well I've seen a guy do it who lasted way longer than that, but they had him tied down.

Do you believe water boarding constitutes torture?

you JUST chastized someone for making bad jokes in a thread about Iraqi progress, and this is your reply to seeing a man tortured?

Goddamn it, you're confused.

As for the video, I didn't need to see another person waterboarded to know it's not only un-american, but inhumane as well. Absolutely absurd we're allowing this and that some people still think it's something we should be doing.

I mean....for fuck's sake Dub, do you not realize how much of a hypocrite you are? Or do you actually know how much of a hypocrite you are, but actively choose to be this much of a jerk?

edit: I'm sorry to hijack this thread, because it's an important one, but I can't believe you've completely contradicted yourself within the course of an hour.

yeah thats torture. good guys would not do that to anybody, good guys wouldnt agree with that, anybody that does that shit aint no good guy. any nation that has a policy of doing it to political prisoners and denying its torture aint no good nation.
its really shocking how american citizens can stand idly by and let such a thing happen under their own flag. shame on you USA

not to nitpick at you jcp, but how is doing something that americans routinely do un-american?

and to be fair about dubs joke, he was really only tortured for like 30 seconds. pretty hardcore that someone would agree to that. i can't imagine what this journalist would do if he had to write an article about execution by firing squad

Yay for post deletions!

Where can I point out dub's trolling if not in the threads he does it in?

by that analogy, if Americans started raping childen, raping children would be American.

Clearly, I'm referring to what this country should stand for, based on its founding principles. But if you want to be that literal then yes, torture is now American.

As for dub's joke, I have absolutely no problem with someone cracking jokes. Dub's humor isn't the point.
I do have a problem with someone who shames someone for doing it in a thread he finds important, and then turns around and does it in the next thread.

Your modship must be called into question, as JcP stated because this is not the first time you've had a sook about somebody else then done the exact same thing elsewhere as though you have rights the rest of us do not have...

you have displayed neither the maturity nor the ethical standards expected by our community, let alone as what stands for law and order in our community

Got suckage?

Yes you do.
