'Time Bomb'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Good times.
Someday I need to go back and read the whole Aeshma vs. Miracleman saga again.
My head hurts.
Oh, man good luck with all of that. That sounds a bit like Leif, but right now Leif can sort of coast because 2nd grade is so easy for him. He doesn't have attitude though, that's his sister's job.
But the whole point of those movies is that they are torture porn!
I kinda want to bop all your students and say "so imaginary pain caused to imaginary people in the plot of a Make believe movie make you think torture to real people is not that big of a deal. How would you feel about me shooting you, or even punching you repeatedly about the midsection? Here let me let you watch all the Bourne movies and anything that Stratham dude has been in first, maybe that will change your mind. also? you are an idiot." but, you know me, I'm judgey.
Yes, and I certainly don't mean to imply that Twitter is torture porn. I was just surprised that they were so blase about actual torture and critiquing it for failing to seem tortuous enough to merit moral outrage.
Yeah, they are nuts. Or, what msbelle said.
but, you know me, I'm judgey.
you and me, sister.

I guess that would depend on who you are subscribed to.
I suspect people think waterboarding is roughly equivalent to being dunked in the pool.
My solution is that everybody that doesn't think waterboarding is torture should have to endure it.
I blog for my brain ... It gets too full sometimes, so throwing something out, in a place where things don't get lost , seems to let everything else fall into place. Sometimes there are things that interest people , sometimes not. My family hassles me less about my keeping in touch habits -- even if all that is there is a book review or an lol cat.Bonus. I don't twitter or facebook -- but I will join facebook when I get around to it - just 'cause it is where all my cousins are.

But that's not what it sounds like Burrell's students are saying -- it sounds like they are comparing it to having your fingers cut off one at a time or some shit.
there was a description of waterboarding in Cory Doctorow's Little Brother.
Even before I read it , I had an idea how bad it was. But I have an imagination.
