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. |
It doesn't require that special of a person. Some studies indicate that many, if not most, would be willing to torture others, even for totally arbitrary reasons. Whether one "has a strong stomach" isn't always relevant, either. Nowadays, many torturous events occur with the mere pushing of buttons. If you think of it, modern warfare -- which is certainly tantamount to largescale torture -- is an extension of the good ol' pull-of-the-trigger. It's certainly something to talk about.
