Torture is completely ineffective. To stop the pain, the prisoner will tell the guard whatever they want to hear, even if the prisoner doesn't know anything.
What we're seeing here is the degeneration of American values. It's exemplified by some (hopefully not all) Americans on this message...
Based on the opinions of some random foreigners you question why *any* Pakistani would be in the US? You know every single Pakistani American I take it? Where was that meeting held?
Difference being that many of those countries that treat prisoners worse than the US don't buy into their own bullshit. They don't claim to be the world's judge of human rights and democracy and then proceed to act on their misguided BS by forcibly bringing their "values" to other sovereign...
Did you read the article? Force feeding was the least of it. Try breaking limbs, rape, and murder. By the way, it seems like you're OK with holding America to the same standard as jihadis. Why do you expect so little from your nation? Since terrorists behead people it's alright that American...
If American police can regularly murder their own citizens with impunity, it's no surprise that they can treat their prisoners this way. Absolutely disgusting and shameful.
Rectal rehydration and broken limbs: the grisliest findings in the CIA torture report

"Probably forced"? Foreign butthurt detected. :lol:
Because in a nation of 1.3 billion people, with the world's largest car market, China is so short on passengers that it needs to "force" people to take any kind of transportation, let alone HSR? You have zero credibility.
Fact 1: China has two 5th gen aircraft, both of which have flown. The PLAAF are a few years away from receiving its first J-20s.
Fact 2: India is still trying to perfect their 3.5 gen LCA - the "indigenous" Indian aircraft that's anything but, where even the original "Kaveri" engine has been...
I guess that makes what he posted untrue. Oh wait...
Or perhaps Indian sarcasm and denial will help bridge the huge disparity between Chinese and Indian GDP? Is that part of Modi's new economic plan? :lol:
LMAO, everyone knows the Chola "incident" is an Indian lie. That same Wikipedia entry read 12 Chinese casualties 3 years ago. One of our PDF members took a screenshot of it. Now, through incessant Indian editing, it reads 400 dead. Maybe it will read 4 million dead Chinese in 2015. :omghaha:The...
How's India's stealth fighter coming along? So stealthy it doesn't even exist yet. :rofl:
He's really jealous. The Russians haven't even invited their so-called Indian "joint developers" to any of the Pak-FA's test flights yet. All he can do is fume in frustration as his country struggles to...
All aid in times of disaster is "propaganda" to some extent. When Iran suffered that earthquake, American aid to Iran was very much politicized. Nevertheless, people are suffering and now's not the time to turn down supplies and help because someone's too proud or whatever. As an ethnic Chinese...
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving! :cheers: Excellent analysis by the way. With regards to your second point, I think the British *do* levy soldiers for the US military but not in the traditional way. Note how the Brits have participated in nearly every US military action for the last 2 decades...
That's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard. Truly Joshua Wong and his band of pvssies are an inspiration to "freedom fighters" everywhere.:omghaha:
:rofl:
I'm not disputing that Russia is ahead of China in military technology. I'm merely saying that it's not impossible for China to be exporting full weapons systems to Russia one day.
You say it *is* impossible. And then I go on to point out a lot of "impossible" things that have happened within...
You contradict yourself. You say Russians only deign to accept billions of dollars worth of lowly Chinese goods because the US cut them off. My question is - why doesn't Russia have the manufacturing base to produce these "unsophisticated parts"? If Russia has such low regard for Chinese...
To counter BoQ77's misinformation, Chinese people from HK and Macau need only fill out a home return permit one time and it's good for 10 years. Not a Visa and after this simple paperwork is done, they can travel to the mainland easily and often.
With regards to China's visa situation...

Russia certainly doesn't have any qualms about buying billions worth of military subcomponents from China it can no longer source from the West. Times are a changing. :lol:
You may be...
Democracy is also about the ability of participating citizens to make meaningful changes in one's government. In this case, citizens don't want to be victims of extrajudicial killings by regime police. They're protesting and protesting but the American regime isn't listening. Some democracy. Go...
You'd better stop. You have actual Chinese people telling you how it is and you keep humiliating yourself by arguing about Chinese life...with Chinese people...who live in China.
Viet stubbornness is admirable when you vietcongs have to fight US B-52s armed only with slingshots and your own...
If superboy can't even tell the difference between a LPD and a LHD and then proceeds to open a thread comparing the two whilst claiming the less capable one is better, he should have his posting privileges suspended.
