Yes, I can reconcile it..... please read my above posts.

I'll say it again. "I've said that I find torture to be a mode and method that people use for various reasons and I'm fine with that."

Maybe I should try different languages because you're not understanding my point of view.

I've taken an extensive amount of time to write them. You've only taken moments to skim through them and pick out your leaps of understanding and conviction.

You're the one taking extreme leaps of logic and understanding, not me. I'm not the one parsing my sentences, you are. You continue to leapfrog your point of view through mine not making any sense whatsoever in the context of what I'm engaged in on my side of the discussion.

People judge by ACTIONS not intentions. Using torture for the "Intention of intimidation." Still works in my reading comprehension world. I'm not sure it works in yours. See, again, it has a use. I don't care how many nouns, adjectives, and adverbs you put in front of it, it still is torture and still has a function. It may not be a function that you agree with but the person who is implementing the acts of torture feels and understands that it has a function, that VALUE is what makes it happen and persist as an aspect of humanity.
