Define torture.

Are you fucking serious dude?

Define torture? Being tied down and punched to a coma is torture... Anything other than that is beyond torture and imo not necessary. If someone decided to commit murder - what purpose is there for giving him a death sentence?

There is none. Let him live a miserable life is prison...

Just for the sake of me probably laughing my ass off at you... what do you consider torture? Please answer with mad details.

The UN defination suits me pretty well.

1. For the purposes of this Convention, the term "torture" means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession

Waterboarding does not fall into the realm or severe pain of suffering. Neither does sleep deprivation or solitary confinement.

I would think it should fall under the definition of torture... the UN does use "mental" in their definition.

They also use severe and I dont think simulating drowning falls into that catagory. Now if they were dunking them under water and holding them there for even a few seconds I would call that torture. I know it is a very fine line, but I believe there is a line there.
