" It's like having a defense for murder as "well someone else killed someone once so you can't possibly convict me!""
STUPID STATEMENT. Most lawyers use similar cases that happened in the past and the end result as a precedent or framework for a current one. SO sorry but your illustration was not well thought out.
" And repeatedly pointing to other misdeeds by other nations in centuries past is a rediculously weak argument and it's DONE confusedandalone - now it's simply off-topic."
Yet people are pointing out past issues of Muslims as a framework for imprisoning them all and having them deported.
"I think there are no so stupid as those who go to great lengths to wilfully misunderstand an argument or point."
Like how moronic it is that someone would suggest that we ignore the fact that freedom religion is woven into the fabric of the USA and then suggest jailing all muslims and deporting them from the country???? Is that what you mean
