Thumbs up Torture?

So I was talking to my dad earlier about some guy who went on a shooting spree and killed 8 people, and he started saying that guy should be tortured, so this got me to thinking...

We all know torture is wrong and is not a useful means of extracting information out of someone, but I was just wondering, do you personally think torture would be acceptable under any circumstances? Forget about trying to get info out of the guy, I mean torture to death, as a form of execution, if the guy did something so insanely inhumane.

Can you think of any scenarios where you would agree the guy deserves something that bad? (like that Hat guy from Southpark who went on a baby killing spree...lol)

Possibly, it would depend.

I mean, why not?

If someone Tortured others for no good reason then I think it should be fine to do the same to them. If it was alright and people knew it then they should have thought about their actions first. It would be their own fault and their problem.

Any scenario in which someone hurt one of my family members or close friends would result in that person being tortured.

I would seem to agree with you. I kick ass and take names later when it comes to anyone foquin around with my familia or any of my friends.

But torture? I dunno, that's a little extreme...

I won't support it.

Any initiation of force not in defense of one's life is unethical imo.

Well, I didn't mean like if someone beat up my sister I would torture them. But if they raped her or something like that, then I would.

Yes, you are right. It is unethical. But when someone hurts people I care about, I tend to go a little bit psycho. I'll debate the ethics of the ordeal after I take care of it

I don't even advocate the death penalty. Does that mean I wouldn't be horribly tempted to torture and kill somebody who intentionally and deeply hurt/injured or killed a loved one? Not at all. However, that's where society is supposed to step up to insure that, barring my going out of my way to buy a high powered rifle, rent a room with a window across from the courtroom where the criminal will be tried and saying hello to my own little prison cell, the person is punished in a just and ethical manner, that doesn't involve torture and preferably not even death.
America has moved beyond vigilante justice.
