Why is Waterboarding so bad?

I mean I take a shower everyday and splash water in my face. I don't get it.

It’s psychological.

No physical harm actually happens.

It’s essentially a triple dose of “phobia” technically a quadruple dose. Happening all at the same time.

Claustrophobia being the primary element. As you are strapped to a board and unable to move. You are forced into a state of helplessness and the fear that comes with that. You are then given a dose of aquaphobia as you fear drowning even though you’re not actually drowning. And you may even have a forth fear being attributed by the fear of strangers asking you questions.

Essentially it’s more torture of the mind and emotions and the natural realm you’re used to.

When you take a shower you are free to move your hands and head wherever you wish. You are in control. The water stops when you want it to stop. Your head is only under the water when you wish it to be.

Only an extremely submissive person would likely be able to handle waterboarding. The more freedoms a person is used to having, the more effective it is at delivering restraints that send the mi d into an uncontrollable panic.
@AuRevoir Depending on the technique absolutely can cause physical harm. Havine a wet cloth over your airways makes breathing extremely difficult and doesn't just create simulated distress. With the wrong person that distress can be sufficient to induce cardiac arrest.

@AuRevoir Maybe do the most basic reading before humiliating yourself like this. 😂
