If the first then, No I stand by what I said. Why hurt someone if you don't have to?

How is that Hollywoodish?

Has it occurred to you that those people may be as moral as you yet instead of passing judgments they put the morality to the test for genuine real life reasons.

I've no idea, nor care how moral they may think they are. If they are hurting people for no good reason, then they are doing something that I consider evil.

These arguments for torture and make-believe situations are irrelevant if torture doesn't work in the first place. If those who advocate it can't prove that it works, then they have already lost the debate.
