How many times have you been waterboarded?

If you’re exactly like me, then you decided to test it. A couple friends came over and we set up a piece of plywood in a declined position. To add to the effect we added some ropes to tie down the victim’s hands. I was dying to go first.
I lay down and got my hands tied. The rag was pulled across my face and cold water was poured from a bucket. It was a lot worse than I thought.
What happens is water seeps through the cloth and runs down the nostrils straight into the sinuses. Nothing you can do will stop this. The effect of having ones sinuses fill with water triggers that “Holy god I’m drowning” reaction that causes panic. After 15 seconds or so I tapped out and they removed the rag. I pushed the water out of my sinuses and waited for my turn again.
My two friends went and lasted similar times. It was harder than we thought - unpleasant but not painful. It was getting cold, but I tried again. This time I tried methods to breathe that didn’t work, but I did notice something. When my sinuses completely filled with water, the drowning sensation ceased to get worse. I can hold my breath for 3 minutes on a good day, so all I’d have to do was put up with the weird water in the sinus feeling.
My last try lasted over 20 seconds and was cut short by the bucket running out of water. Just knowing that it was going to be ok once my sinuses filled made it much easier. I wanted to try again but I was full of water and it was getting cold.

Predictable. I told you not to try it....
Let's look at how wrong you are...
The situation : Hannity might be up for waterboarding for charity.
What I said :
This means I believe, in this situation, the waterboarding is nothing. If I were hannity, this would be nothing to me. Why do I say this, let's continue...Quote:

"In this procedure, the individual is bound securely to an inclined bench, which is approximately four feet by seven feet. The individual's feet are generally elevated. A cloth is placed over the forehead and eyes. Water is then applied to the cloth in a controlled manner. As this is done, the cloth is lowered until it covers both the nose and mouth. Once the cloth is saturated and completely covers the mouth and nose, air flow is slightly restricted for 20 to 40 seconds due to the presence of the cloth… During those 20 to 40 seconds, water is continuously applied from a height of twelve to twenty-four inches. After this period, the cloth is lifted, and the individual is allowed to breathe unimpeded for three or four full breaths… The procedure may then be repeated."
-----------------
So. After 20-40 seconds, they lift the cloth and you can breathe for a few breaths again. Then they do it all over again.
So, you are led to believe you are doing to drown and die. We already said Hannity is doing this for charity so he is not going to die, and we already said most likely have paramedics nearby during this in case anything happens.
So, logically, if you conquer the fear of drowning and your stress level, which is the only threat left to the victim, then you can conquer charity waterboarding. No experience necessary once again. Strike 2, Chumpy.
I can do that. I do not fear death in any capacity. At all. Zero fear. Situations in my life have proven to myself and to my family that I am calm under pressure. You'll have to take my word for it.Quote:

So now I have proven that your question was irrelevant to what I said.
CLASS DISMISSED.:toast
It's irrelevant to what I said, as I have already proven.
This is just sad, ChumpDumper.
Don't you have any dignity or self-respect to force yourself to admit you were wrong?
I would never allow myself to behave like you are. If I was wrong, I would say it.
You are acting like a child. Just admit it.
How many times have you been water boarded?
It's a very simple question that can be answered with one word.
It has no relevance to what I said, so your point is meaningless. You were wrong.
Admit it.
Are you one of those people who think they are perfect and never admit wrong?
:)
It is quite relevant. I wasn't wrong about that.
How many time have you been waterboarded?
Are you one of those people who think they are perfect and never admit wrong? That would be very pathetic at your age.
YOU SAID
and as my post proved, my statements on how to beat this waterboarding for charity does not require me to be an authority.Quote:

Just admit it.
You were wrong. the end, I won't hold it against you. What is getting pathetic though is your refusal to admit it.
It interests me and I do happen to think it relevant to the conversation.
I have been waterboarded zero times.
How many times have you been waterboarded?
Well, I don't think it is relevant to the conversation at all and I have thoroughly explained why your logic was flawed.
You will just have to accept that.
So, how many times have you been waterboarded?
Irrelevant to what I said.
Sure it is.
Why are you so afraid to answer?
About three pages of your desperate avoidance says you are still afraid to answer.
