It wasn't an argument, it was an observation.

Burbank, If you served arsenic and liver on the same plate, and both were harmful to you, wouldn't it be fair to recognize both with some importance, even though they might not be equally as harmful.

I was just waiting for Burbank to try and relate hazing to the Berg tragedy...I mean, after all, he ran out of excuses to evoke the Holocaust. There was nothing to suggest the imagery of hazing in that situation... as opposed to our soldiers who went about their torture and murder as if they were just goofing off in the snuff remake of Porkey's. The crimes were of drastic severity, yet they added a whole pyschotic "dude, look what I'm making them do, this is fucked up, here take a picture" approach that's important to recognize because it's unique. You're pretty immature if you believe one belittles a tragic crime by aknowledging the potential mindset of it's perpatrator.

Since you brought up the Holocaust... People refer to the Nazi's "using Jews, and Gypsys as target practice". Are they minimizing the deaths when they say this? Are they claiming Jews and a Gypsys are merely targets and not people? Or are they just intelligent enough to illustrate a concept through descriptive words, as an observation ??

Of course, you're not this stupid, but I'm happy to play along if it means you show some more compassion for the victims rather then take the opportunity to gloat over the criminal role our administration played in this.
