Historically torture has had a tendency to produce unreliable results, just look at the witch trials, everyone who denied being a witch was brutally beaten and almost every one of them then admitted to being a witch after several days of torture.
Or look at the knights Templar, under torture almost all of them admited to worshiping the devil, and other acts of heresy.
And If someone doesn't know something and they are being torture they will make something up. if you capture a low level terrorist who happens to know very little, and you torture him for several days you will get information but.. must of it may be made up. I bet that if you give me any person and let me torture him and have complete control of his diet , sleeping and bathroom times , I could make him admit to anything.
So how is torture a reliable intelligence gathering method?

See one of my friends has been single for a long time the problem is that she's a year older than me and most of my friends are younger than her she's also annoyed easily and can't stand guys who are stupid or wimpy or perverted or anything like that. Her standards are quite high and its going to be hard for me to find someone for her I can tell she really wants to get back into the dating game. I have a few ideas on how she could get a boyfriend but Im personally never used them and am not sure if she would even be willing to try them.

Like if we go to the mall, and see a cute guy, we could write him a note and try to get him to come over.

Or something like that. The problem is, she just expects a guy to come right on over and start a conversation and flirt, but I know that thinking like that is delusional. How can I get her to let her guard down and just talk to a guy, or is there a way we can get one to talk to her? Any ideas?

I ask a question earlier on how i can potty train my puppy in a month and one of the answers was to buy a spray to help it get potty trained. The person said that you spray it on the spot that you want it to go on and it will use the restroom there. But what is it called and where can i get it???

In Canada, I used to give them hairball medicine, but I haven't been able to find any in Mexico. Is there a "home" remedy. My cat has long hair and spends most of her waking life grooming herself. (see avatar)

over to my bf's house and we are 16. I didn't want to go home, so I spent the night with him in his room. We were having sex about 12:30 and his mom came into the room and was like ya'll need to quiet down and so we did. I never thought anything about it. So when I went home I told my mom where I was and she grounded me and she also called my bf's parents and cussed them out. She said that they never should have let me stay the night with their son. But, what is so wrong about it?

After reading another question (I forget which exactly) about RFID chips;when the anti-christ comes and tries to force everyone to accept his mark to basically buy,sell and eat; will you stand up for Christ and reject the mark? Or will you break down and sell your soul to satan for eternity just to satisfy your short term needs (food, shelter, water ect.)?

Are you for Jesus :-) or do you give into the anti-christ and sell your soul to Satan for short-term gratification?:-(

Hey- who do you think will be in the final three? Laura, Uli, Jeffrey, or Micheal? I like them all, but I want it to be Uli-Jeffrey-Micheal. Laura's fine, but she's going to have the baby and all.

Why is it that when a guy has cheated on you and does not do a thing to make you feel like a special woman, that he feels like that he can get pissed off at you because you are not over it yet?
