[Comment to the Q: What Do Americans Think of Sen. Feinstein's "Torture" Report? post]
So the Dems have expanded the definition of torture to include "rectal hydration".
So the enemas administered to me by my parents stain them as torturers and me an unwitting part of the growing culture of victimhood.

I have to go with yes. Still, if you think that the type of thing done by the CIA was an enema, you really haven't read the report. Please do so and then see if you can still make this sort of brain-dead comment.
If they did it to punish you rather than to relieve a medical issue then yes. It's this funny little thing called "context". It's the same principle that separates a doctor cutting off a gangrenous leg from a torturer cutting off your leg just for the hell of it. I wouldn't expect you to understand, though, as understanding it requires the ability to hold onto more than one thought at a time and then actually compare the circumstances surrounding them.
If a person has a mouth, there is no reason to forcibly inject food and water into their anus... except to humiliate them and inflict pain.
The sole result of these depraved actions is that the victims learn to hate their tormentors.
With friends like you, who needs enemas ?!

...and John Harvey Kellogg would like a word with you, re. yogurt : Half eaten, and half taken as an enema ; people underwent this process voluntarily and of their own free will at his sanatorium.

...now pour that in your bowl of Corn Flakes and eat it. >:D
No one said anything about enemas, which serve a purpose. The key word is hydration. So, if your parents were intentionally inflicting suffering and humiliation upon you by withholding water or food by mouth, and got water into you rectally just to keep you alive, then yes, that's torture.
If putting oblong things in your rectum to inject a fluid in your bowels is not torture, where does that put anal rape?
(by the way, an enema performed on a non-consenting person is considered as sexual assault, if not rape, in France...)
Did you need Enema procedures?
Also, rectal rehydration is considered worthless by the medical consensus, therefore it was torture plus humiliation. I'm waiting for them to ask some doctor in congress and have him reply " waterboarding will rehydrate you better, ya gotta swallow some"
Ugh. Simple minded idiot.
If my neighbours keep me up at night with loud music unintentionally they are inconsiderate. If a cult leader prevents me from sleeping for the purpose of breaking me he is performing torture.
Learn the fucking difference.
Uh yeah, actually. You may want to talk to someone about that.
Anyway, if they had meant enema they would've said enema, they didn't so they didn't.
So the enemas administered to me by my parents stain them as torturers and me an unwitting part of the growing culture of victimhood.
That depends. Were you legitimately clogged up or were they trying to get information from you about where the terrorists are hiding?
It tells us where the terrorists are or else it gets the hose again.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, unless those were enemas for surgery to deal with something like colitus (my father lacks a large intestine because they had to take it out due to colitus, and yes, enemas were needed beforehand), then yes.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
