We've got lots of weapons that'll do lots of bad things to the human body, but that's what combat is all about. If it's water, fire, or earth (elemental) you can use it.
On the torture thing - it's wrong and shouldn't be used. I'm not against the "soft torture" like sleep depravation, but anything to do with inflicting physical pain is wrong: 1.) Unethical. 2.) Low eficacy. 3.) Is hypocritical. The bads *way* outweigh the goods even if you simply focus on the practical and ignore the ethical. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:183513 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
