Ask the prisoners at Abu Ghraib if there's any difference between a prison cell and a torture cell. As shown in the Stanford prison experiment the prison guards are already turning it into a torture cell. If its as simple as a vote, then direct some public discontent at a prisoner and let the people vote, the people of Nazi Germany displayed this quite well. Also I debate for the sake of debating, not trolling, so please use legitimate arguments rather than "what the hell are you thinking".
It wasn't a troll it was a valid question. Just because other people do it, doesn't mean we have to. Turning prison cells into torture cells is wrong- plain and simple. Because people don't want us to test on animals doesn't mean we do it on more unwilling living things just because they broke the law.
The prisoners have their punishment- surviving in prison. And don't give me that crap about great TV and food, I'm talking about gang wars, rape and murder... surviving that and living in a cell where your every move is watched is their punishment.
I don't care who does it when- torture is still illegal and torture is STILL wrong.
Suggesting that we torture prisoners instead is not fixing a problem but only making it worse.
Not really.
Amours post contained one irrelevancy, followed by two lies.
It wasn't exactly a great post.
Okay, well let me clarify then- It is in my opinion and experience that animals can suffer and that is where and how I agree with amour times 1 million.
