Abortion and death penalty are both legal. Debate can fall on both sides. Lets pick something criminally unambiguous like raping babies, or ritual human sacrifice or setting off a suitcase nuke in NYC.

This is how torture advocates arguments may be framed. It is a crime against nature, International law and the laws of every nation to torture. Those who advocate it are advocating CRIME!

It's not debatable... I have seen members banned from this forum for advocating stuff like the execution of certain races or other human rights crimes. Now, ironically, my membership is threatened by taking an uncompromising position against the crime of torture.

You are correct that nothing keeps me here as a member. Nothing except the previously fair treatment that was accorded to the members and a clear delineation of acceptable behavior in the various forums. I believe those rules have recently changed. We were once free to flame in the Misc. forum. Now not so...
