Police say that 2 year-old's injuries were so severe, he wasn't abused, he was tortured

Off with their heads, the both of them, they don't deserve to live.

The screeching harpies of the news industry have already removed any meaning from the word "torture" so I'm not impressed anymore. This headline tells me nothing.

These people should be in jail for life. They should never again see the light of day.

>Torture is physically hurting someone else on purpose to fulfill an agenda
That would make all warfare, execution, and even boxing "torture." |

By execution, if you mean the conventional sense like the gas chamber and lethal injection, are painless and except for death, they do not cause physical harm. Boxing, sure, some people might consider that torture as it can get hard to watch if you're squeemish. My definition of torture, though, would be: "To cause physical discomfort or pain in order to persuade a subject against their will toward a certain result or goal."

Yes it would. War is Hell. Hell is torture. Therefore War is torture. Execution is torture, but hey, I didn't say I was against all torture. :wink: Boxing is torture if you ask me. It pains me to watch it! But you make a good point. My definition should mention that the one being tortured didn't volunteer for the activity. Maybe the only exception being the draft.
