Well it has been said here that torture is not a black and white case, so it isn't immediately clear to me why torturing children would be different. The smoking gun argument applies to them, and the torture may very well be milder in nature than it would have to be with an adult.
I apologise in advance for that. Look, I didn't realise that this board was for support. I assumed, because I only read the posts, that it was for discussing politics. Anyway can you answer my question above about the arguments in Pinter's Nobel acceptance speech. How can we discuss them here? I think the answer is that we can't and that we shouldn't try. Do you agree?
