Quote by: Simonius  Given the right circumstances I think pretty much anyone would be capable of torture, dispassionate torture I am not sure, but torture none the less. Sadism is quite a natural human element, we just suppress it these days but its still there, but I dont consider sadism a neccessary pre-requisite for it, it just helps I guess. |
lol the average person is not anywhere near capable of true torture, it takes an absolute psycho devoid of any empathy and compassion for his fellow human beings suffering and to delight in hearing someone scream in pain, to carry it all out, not to mention a strong stomach.
It doesn't matter if they are laughing while they do it, or wearing a cold lifeless expression, its what they are doing to someone, and their complete indifference to their pain, fear and suffering that makes them what they are.
