Goes to show what a tiny bit of knowledge and a whole lot of assumption can do. For example, the author was clearly lost about the cow and turtle picture, and guessing wildly about the gayest spot in town and the drinks fit for a queen. I'm surprised he didn't try to point out that the guy holding the beer might be a German giving the Hitler salute. Or it might be a subtle picture of Hitler himself.
If you must know, I got through to page 2 and gave up. Maybe I identified a different agenda than you did, DDT.
As I said earlier, the author is blaming "democracies" for inventing and perfecting new torture methods. If this were done about any identifiable group of people, it would be considered a hate crime. Since it is about "western" democracies, I made the not-so-huge leap to label it as such. Your reaction to my comment is predictable.
If you're going to pretend you know more than I do, try not to show your ignorance in the same comment. There is no "encyclopedia". The author is saying that American newspaper accounts and trial transcripts form a virtual encyclopedia of water torture techniques.
Maybe you should have read the article more closely.
And my hands are clean. I don't recall torturing an insect as a child, much less any POWs recently.
I don't have to take a look in the mirror before I judge someone's choice of a stupid tattoo.
The definition isn't complete - why does it not indicate that BIBLIO has a Greek root, as well as PHILE? Are you going to include a reference to the roots of BIBLIO on another limb? The whole thing seems a little pedantic.
Von Skippy is right, it makes little difference, and girl doesn't need to defend her questionable tattoo choices. But if she's going to post the picture, she should be ready for some criticism.
There's this great little-known store called Wal-Mart. Somebody should do an article on it. You know, get the word out about how wonderful it is to shop there, and stuff.
This just looks like an excuse to bash democracy, rather than a balanced article.
Torture has been going on for thousands and thousands of years, but this article implies that "democracy", namely, the USA and Britain, perfected it. This is a blatant misrepresentation of the facts to malign a particular group of people (i.e. people who live in a democratic society), and the article should be classed as a hate crime.
I'm sure if Sid does something "inspiring", it will be legal, and not damaging to anyone else's property.
Like I said, if this chick needs to "prove a point", she can put up all the peace symbols she wants on her own property. If she can't, well, she can always ask someone who owns property for permission first.
And both genders spend a lot of time in the "virtual world".
Just what was the point of this research again? Oh yeah, "cognitive remediation therapies..."

Why are Hillary and Bill Clinton "celebrities"?
It is her big day, and they've forked out enough money to feed everybody they can think of. If you don't like the ritual, don't go.
I think I'd ask for my money back if I were her. The cake isn't really all that flattering.
