Yet, I'm willing to do that which is morally abhorrent (to me) if a competent case can be made. I almost fixed your post by the way, "torture can be used for evil or lesser evil". Just so you know where I'm coming from.
Quote:You might need to torture someone by incarceration because they committed murder.Hmn, failed equivocation. One thing did amuse me though...why would I need to do that? What need is being met? What sorts of needs do you think I have......? I think that you might be describing a psychotic, a person that "needs" to torture people. I've never personally encountered that need - though I have encountered both murderers and children who avoid their homework. How about yourself? What's you experience (if any) with this need?
You might need to torture a child by yelling at them because they didn't do their homework.
I'd still like some clarification as to what we're going to accomplish with torture (as per my previous post).
