From the same people who brought you the “Fire can’t melt chicken wire and cinderblocks in my backyard<\/a>” experiment, we now have the “Waterboarding is torture” experiment from Allahpundit<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153[I]f it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t torture, it can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be that bad, right?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d our hero wonders rhetorically<\/a> before declaring it most definitely bad \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and recounting how he went in for one, two, three, four<\/em> rounds of the stuff. Which, incidentally, was fewer than his brother managed. A possible alternative standard: If it is<\/em> torture, you probably wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be so willing to have it done to you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More\u00c2\u00a0experiment narrative\u00c2\u00a0from Jammie Wearing Fool<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Let me tell you this, it’s not pleasant. And we were operating under circumstances where we absolutely knew that the other person wasn’t going to kill us with the technique.<\/p>\n

I was wiped out after four tries. My best time was 20 seconds, and I literally gritted it out. It took about all I had, so much so that right afterward on my last try I barely lasted 9 seconds.<\/p>\n

My brother tried it a few more times than I did. He beat me on average times, but his highest was 18 seconds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So who’s running the Left these days? Johnny Knoxville? Maybe they can try beheading each other next and see if that’s any easier to withstand.<\/p>\n

I’m sure these goons think that waiting until after you smoke the pot to order the pizza is torture, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
