Burgold Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I think with all this talk of should or shouldn't we and this is/no it ain't... maybe we should take a step back and ask. What is torture? Are we talking only things that the Marquis de De Sade would try or get off on? Is torture a very generalized term like watching the Redskins blow a lead or being circumcized as an adult? Or listening to President Bush try to recite Shakespeare? Is it something much more specific? Is it undefineable? This thread is not about whether we should or shouldn't or whether it's good or bad, but figuring out where we draw the line in defining what it is.

headexplode Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I define torture as going into The Stadium for more than five minutes at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Judges Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 From a political perspective, I get annoyed when people try to reinvent the definition of a word. Fact is, the definition of torture is very broad. 1 a: anguish of body or mind : agony b: something that causes agony or pain2: the infliction of intense pain (as from burning, crushing, or wounding) to punish, coerce, or afford sadistic pleasure http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/torture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Being a Redskins fan and watching Dallas do better than us every year! This is a false statement. This is a lie. The Redskins have been better than Dallas quite a few times. We have the Superbowl Trophies and NFC Championship victories to prove it. Shame on you. :hammer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttr77 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 As Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once said, when trying to define pornography, "I can't define it, but I know when I see it." I can't define torture, but I'd know it if I felt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
