8. Would the 39% think it was okay if THEY were tortured?
Is torture really okay? If so, I guess it is okay for everyone. Are they willing to be subjected to torture?

I already know the answer to that question. So, why is it acceptable to torture other people, but not yourself? Since you don't know what the other person knows, how do you know he has the information that you think justifies torture?

Unfeeling, uncompassionate psychopaths. Okay to torture other people, just don't torture me.
