That's what they do, but you gotta breathe sometime, which is when you start breathing water and people start shaking violently. They can just keep pouring forrever, they probably use a hose in real torture scenarios and are holding the dude down with chains and shit. | ||

It's not something most people would be willing to do. Not because it's a waste of tiem, as some might claim, but because of pure, possibly subconscious fear. | ||

Holding your breath won't prevent water from entering your nostrils, and by then you're starting to drown. You reflexively gasp for air, your heart starts beating quickly, the oxygen supply in your lungs is exhausted, and when you try to breath all that comes in is water. And by then you feel like you're drowning and you start to freak out and panic, only your hands and your legs are tied. It's not nice.

You don't think the US is a free country? Then I'm guessing you must consider that at most 100 million people in the world live in a free country, and the other 5900 million live in some form of slavery. Sorry, I think your definition of a free country sucks. | ||

It's not something most people would be willing to do. Not because it's a waste of tiem, as some might claim, but because of pure, possibly subconscious fear. After watching those videos, there's no way in hell I'd accept to go through that. Mostly because it causes permanent psychological damage. I don't want to feel nauseous or dizzy when drinking a glass of water. | ||

It takes guts to try it yourself and then admit you are wrong.. he is also a huge prick who accuses obama of being a secret muslim and howard dean of being a traitor amongst other things - so while this was handled well, he is overall quite an asshole. | ||

You are a fucking moron. Theses people are perfectly right to fight you. You fuck up the whole world, you invade countries, you exploit whole continents, you fuck up the ecosystem, you torture and assassinate people with your superior ballistic technology, you invade the world with your messianic bullshit about democracy and freedom, your impose free-market to countries who don't want it in order to exploit them through your multinationales, you flood the planet with your disgusting mercantil sub-culture, but you are right, you are the most civilized. I'm fed up with all this neo-fascist imperialist bullshit. What the fuck are doing the mods on this website? Is it trendy to promote torture here? That's my fucking last post here, I'm leaving teamliquid. You guys are not even talking abuot waterboarding. You guys are having a debate about cultural stereotypes. The debate about waterboarding should be the same if we were talking about waterboarding a bunch of Scottish people. These kind sidebars is why what is a seemingly simple issue is even a debate in the first place. | ||
