Torture

Yes - depending which side you are on. Also 'terrorism' can and is at times looked upon as the poor man's war. Don't forget, we sort of invented it for our own Revolutionary War. (With a little help from the Indians ... but most of the real atrocities were by whites.)

Technically, No. Water boarding is considered unethical by some, but no previsions in any laws I can find prohibit water boarding.

Water boarding performed on every Navy Seal so they understand what their enemies may put them through should they be captured.

In the most public case the water boarding of two people, know to be very bad men, saved the life of thousands in California. How is the inconvenience of two men even comparable to the thousands that lived because of it. Remember these were known to be VERY bad men. I believe it IS illegal. A sheriff weas convicted in Texas during the early 1980s for doing this. Also, if it is legal, why don't police ' waterboard ' prisons or suspects?

Quote from the Related Link: "A cheap and effective way to torture someone was with the use of rats. There were many variants, but the most common was to force a rat through a victim's body (usually the intestines) as a way to escape. This was done as follows:

The victim was completely restrained and tied to the ground or any horizontal surface. A rat was then placed on his stomach covered by a metallic container. As the container was gradually heated, the rat began to look for a way out - through the victim's body.

Digging a hole usually took a few hours of agonizing pain for the victim. This almost invariantly resulted in death."

Because they are narcissists and that type of behavior is in their nature. You need to educate yourself about narcissism. The Mayo Clinic website is a good place to begin. Dragging someone else down makes them feel like they have power.

There are probably no reliable statistics on this particular cause because NO ONE is going to admit being drowsy or asleep at the wheel.

The Medieval period of the Middle Ages was violent and blood thirsty. In barbarous times the cruel and pitiless feeling which induced legislators to increase the horrors of tortures, also contributed to the aggravation of the fate of prisoners. Torture chambers were included in many castles. Law or custom did not prescribe any fixed rules for the treatment of hapless prisoners who faced torture. Different types of torture were used depending on the victim's crime and social status. Torture was seen as a totally legitimate means for justice to extract confessions, or obtain the names of accomplices or other information about the crime. Torture was a legitimate way to obtain testimonies and confessions from suspects for use in legal inquiries and trials during the Middle Ages. an example of a device is: Scavengers Daughter. This device was designed to have the opposite effect to that of the rack. The body was compressed as opposed to being stretched. This rack was invented by the Lieutenant of the Tower of London during the reign of King Henry VIII of England (1509-1547). The name of the Lieutenant of the Tower of London during this period was Leonard Skevington (aka Leonard Skeffington). A derivation of his name led to the device he initiated, or was the father of - the Scavengers Daughter although it was first referred to as Skeffington's Irons. The device consisted of one single iron bar that connected iron shackles closing round the victim's hands, feet and neck. This rack positioned the head to the knees of the victim in a sitting position. It compressed the body as to force the blood from the nose and ears.

If it was, it was W's fault. Right?

O'bama - the most irresponsible president in our country's history. Just ask him. "Nope. Wasn't my fault. That was George Bush's fault."

He take responsibility for nothing therefor he is responsible for nothing. Isn't that how it works?

People generally torture for one of these reasons:

1. They want information from a person.

2. They do it for self-satisfaction.

3. They do it to boost their self-esteem/self-worth.

4. They enjoy seeing people beg and plead.

5. They need a large sum of money.

6. They hate the person or want revenge.

Really, the above can be placed in 3 categories, with information/property/money, sadism, and revenge being those.

To get him to admit that he slept with Hester.

Of course not, he was a noble man who cared for nothing more than the rights of human beings regardless of whether they were Muslim or not. Muhammad (PBUH) constantly told his followers of the importance of human rights regardless of religion. Even during the prophets lifetime he was subjected to hate by some of the people around him, regardless of this he never ever said any bad words about them but instead prayed for them to become better people.

People who say otherwise are ignorant and have not truly studied the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

May Allah bless you and keep you on the right track.

Simply put - most Jews were worked to death. They often worked hard labor for up to 16 hours per day - having only 1 small meal - which generally had little or no nutritional value. On average, they lived for about 45 to 60 days after arriving at the concentration camp.

Of course there were exceptions - if one could cook or play an instrument well or had some exceptional ability - they were used as entertainment. Often attractive women were used as sex slaves to several Germans - but his was a VERY tightly kept secret; a German man should never have sex with a Jewish woman - it made the man "dirty" according to Hitler. This was rare because everybody (even children) had their heads shaved upon entering the concentration camps - to control lice.

As far as tortured - this may take some explaining! Being in the camps was torture iteself - but the Germans never tortured prisoners - they had no reason - they were not looking for answers to anything - all they wanted from their Jewish prisoners was for them to die. But of course there were exceptions to this - often there was sadistic guards that beat women and men to death for fun - rare but it did happen. ALso it must be taken into consideration that most knew they were there to die - and things like "showers" that were actually posionous gas - were well known. So lining up for a shower - would be considered torture.

Inadequate rest impairs our ability to think, handle stress, maintain a healthy immune system and moderate our emotions. In fact, sleep is so important to our overall health that total sleep deprivation has been proven to be fatal: lab rats denied the chance to rest die within two to three weeks.

Moodiness, feeling "run down", sore throat, aches and pains, loss of appetite....

it's dangerous not to get enough sleep. Get some sleep, babe!

Which Amendment protects Americans from being tortured as a punishment for a crime.

A person who tortures and gets enjoyment out of it is called a sadist.

People when the captured their enemies would torture them to get them to talk!<------ partly true...

Torture started because people went to war with neighboring towns, camps, etc. and they wanted answers from the prisoners so they used torture to try to get answers. This method didn't always worth though. what happened mostly is they never spoke and either were killed by the people that captured them or died of an infection or desiese. please improve if you can

In the medieval ages there was many gruesome tortures used. One was where they would take the victim and have him/her stripped naked. Then their feet would be tied to two poles then four men would carry them around town, then finally they would spread the victims legs and then take a two person saw and saw down the middle. Another torture was when a victim was tied down to a table and a box with a hole was set on his stomach and tied down. In the box would be a rat and the top of the box would be lit on fire. The rat would panic and try to go through the hole but since the victims stomach was there the only choice the rat had was to dig through the opponent stomach.

One that was most commonly used, was being drawn and quartered. What would first happen is that the victim would be hanged till half dead, then they would be taken down and their arms and legs would be cut off. After that they would cut open the skin above your stomach and would take out the organs and lay them on top of you while you are still alive and light them on fire.

Another torture that is probably one of the most painful is called the Blood Eagle. The bones protecting your heart would be sawed open. Then they would tie you to a pole or stake and then rip open your rib cages. Then they would slowly stretch out your lungs and hang them on your rib cages. This is to represent an eagles wings. The person would either die of the constant bleeding or of their lungs being pierce by their own rib cages.

Yes. Torture through the spread of disease, trail of tears, unjustly killing, etc.

It is an effective way of getting 'information' but not necessary accurate information. When people are in severe pain most will talk but they might just say what what they think the torturer wants to hear.

He is disappointed with the world state and thinks he is filthy from being at such a grotesque place. He whips himself in order to cleanse himself.

New Answer (11 May, 2012) - He tortures himself because he feels that is the only way to show himself as being human, to feel pain, to be an individual, to bleed and not take soma. If I remember right, he also does it when he gets aroused from thinking of Lenina, so it is also to say no to the temptation, the temptation that all the Alpha-Plus' do. The main thing is to interpret it how you want, but this is what I gathered when I read it. ~ DK

Winston specifically is tortured in a number of ways. These include (but are not limited to): starvation, deprivation, electric shocks, betraying his secret love, being threatened to be eaten by rats, and accepting the government.
