Would you consider water boarding to be torture??? Where water + fear (fear of suffocating)= torture??? I know if someone had one big a$$ German Shepperd inches away from me and the command to “sick balls” was being threatened I’d consider that torture. I value the boys pretty highly.
typically torture is considered to be abuse that causes permanent damage. water boarding for example creates the fear of death but not death or tissue damage. there’s not even temporary damage.
would you consider some of the really big six flags rollercoasters to be torture.
