What Do You Think The Best Methods Of Torture Are That Are Not Harmful? Do you think there are "harmless torture" methods that don't cause permanent scars, damage, or death.
What torture methods do you think work but are not physically harmful? |
I think ALL methods of torture are harmful, whether it be physically or mentally.
But I assume you are talking about ones that don't cause physical harm.
and i would say being chained to a table, not tightly to cause harm but just enough to not be able to move and having a constant drip of water on your face. It would be enough to drive anybody crazy.
Or the torture of sounds eg playing a tape of a baby crying non-stop.
Anyway I am unsure why you are asking this question but I hope its for innocent reasons.

What are the countries with the most torture methods? What countries have thought of and introduced the most torture methods since the beginning of the medieval times? |
Almost every country has done this, hard to trace who has the most, since they are often copied.
Keep in mind here that torture of war/political prisons is illegal, by international law - and, it yields unreliable info anyway. |
Anybody know any good chinese torture methods? These rotten guys kept coming out on my lawn playing grab *** and getting me pissed. I tried leaning out the window, shaking my fists and yelling, but the little b*stards just ignored me and giggled. I set out a bear trap, and the next time they came it snapped down on one of the guys, so I took him inside and ate him. But it made me wonder: Next time I catch one, should I torture them instead? If so, how?
Bonus points for any methods that tenderize the meat. |
tape their eyes open and turn the fan on in front of them...
sick, i cant believe i just answered this hahahaha |
How do you like these torture methods? I've added this method in a book I'm writing about torture. My book is about a bunch of rapists, pedophiles, arsonists, mobsters, poachers, etc. getting a taste of their own medicine. There is a young lady who receives a pap smear with a meat hook. Another guy has both of his shins broken apart over an anvil with a sledgehammer. Remember! If it doesn't make your skin crawl, I'm not doing my job. |
actualy making thim see the damage they caused is the worse you can do.
i rather take instant death than physicle tortur for that can increase hatrid to you. |
What are some methods of torture which wouldn't leave a victim obviously disfigured? Dont worry, this is research for a book I'm writing. XD
He was tortured for information which led to his parents being brutally killed in front of him, because he cracked and told them everything. Now he's older and he's really badly affected by it to the point that he never speaks. What methods of torture could they have used to inflict pain but not cause horrible scarring and the like? |
There's always isolation, where you leave someone alone for long periods of time and then you make yourself their only real human contact. However it seems like you're going for something a little bit more gruesome? There are many things involving water and a lack of oxygen creating a fear of drowning... The famous torture technique many U.S. interrogaters got in trouble for was called "water boarding" where they basically get a soaking wet potato bag and tie it around a persons face and then hang them upside down for periods of time. This creates a very intense sensation that you are drowning.
Another would be the Chinese Water Drop... Basically the person would be tied down onto a table and a funnel like apparatus would be placed 3-4 feet above their forehead. The apparatus would drop a single drop of water onto the persons face and this would happen for hours. It causes intense delusions and hysteria because the person is subdued. The torture is also suppose to be magnified when the drops occur randomly and are not timed. I believe mythbusters did an experiment involoving this method. :)
Hope this helps..... Creeper!
(Actually I think its worse that I knew this... haha) |
What were some of the torture methods used in witch trials? NOT the Salem Witch Trials please.
I mean the kind of trials where "witches" were burnt at a stake, and they were tortured into admitting they were witches. It's for a story I'm writing. |
Then you need to narrow down what you mean. "Not the salem witch trials," would mean the rest of the world.
Do you mean equatorial Africa last year?
Do you mean the Inquisition?
Do you mean 19th century Russia?
wetc etc |
What were some of the gestapo police torture methods? i need to find out about the torture methods used by the gestapo |
| Primarily just beating people with weapons. Gestapo was also responsible for rounding up political opponants and bringing the to concentration camps. Jews were usually sent to the extermination camps. It was the threat of their power that made people do what they wanted |
Are there countries that still employ refined methods of torture when interrogating suspects? I have been reading a book called "The Gulag Archipelago" where the author explains in detail how torture was common and even accepted in the former USSR.
I wonder if the methods of torture became more refined with the advancement of technology!!
What about the CIA? Have they refined their methods of interrogation in order to deal with the so called "terrorist threat?"
Is torture an acceptable practice when the safety of a nation is at risk? Would you torture another human being in order to protect your country?
Thanks a lot for your compassion. |
Yes. Torture has always existed and unfortunately will always exist.
It is not a pleasant question and not a pleasant answer. Nothing here can be justified. Nothing. It is only a proof that technology does not mean that we are more intelligent, more refined nor more powerful. |
