Att du refererar till att tonåringar ser det som en lek att göra det mot varandra är inte direkt bevis som stödjer din egna åsikt då tonåringar sysslar med en jävla massa dumheter som kan skada folk för livet eller vad anser du om att tända eld på dig själv för att bli "känd"?

Waterboarding induces panic and suffering by forcing a person to inhale water into the sinuses, pharynx, larynx, and trachea.

The head is tilted back and water is poured into the upturned mouth or nose. Eventually the subject cannot exhale more air or cough out more water, the lungs are collapsed, and the sinuses and trachea are filled with water. The subject is drowned from the inside, filling with water from the head down.

The chest and lungs are kept higher than the head so that coughing draws water up and into the lungs while avoiding total suffocation. "His sufferings must be that of a man who is drowning, but cannot drown."

Waterboarding is not:

upright or face-down dunking: People dunked face-first in water can keep water out for as long as they can hold their breath.

When one is inclined with the head back, holding one's breath will not prevent the upper respiratory tract from filling with water.

asphyxiation: Survivors of near-drowning experiences report that the sensation of water flooding down the larynx and trachea as they struggle to breathe is the most terrifying aspect of the experience.

In waterboarding, this begins quickly, long before the onset of oxygen starvation.

submersion: Waterboarding does not require immersion in standing water. Someone can be waterboarded with as little as a canteen or two of water.

slowly dripping water on the forehead: Several types of water-based tortures have been used in Asia, but the famous "Chinese Water Torture" demonstrated in Mythbusters Episode 25 is very different than waterboarding.

a simulation: Waterboarding is actually forcing large quantities of water into the pharynx, and trachea, inducing choking and gagging in the subject.

A prominent Holocaust historian who was detained at George Bush Intercontinental Airport en route to speak at a Texas A&M University symposium last week, said Sunday that he might think twice before returning to the United States given the new climate surrounding immigration.

Rousso was denied entry into the U.S. and whisked into a room where roughly 30 people waited Wednesday afternoon. One officer said he would soon be deported, according to an account he published Sunday on the Huffington Post.

His detention, officers later said, was because an “inexperienced” immigration official did not realize that a tourist’s visa would suffice to allow Rousso into the U.S. for research and educational purposes, according to Rousso’s essay and a Texas A&M professor. Texas A&M secured his release after 10 hours, Rousso said, and representatives for ICE and Customs and Border Patrol did not return requests for comment.
