I wonder how this line of reasoning would go over at a murder trial.

[wpietri]

Do you actually wonder that?

[VMG]

No, I actually don't.

I know it would be absurd and there is a good reason we punish people who give the "gift of death" with no regards to some bizarre learning experience for the victims.

[wpietri]

Ok. So if you already knew that, what's your point?

[VMG]

Pointing out the absurdity of your statements through the wonderful tools of rhetoric.

[wpietri]

Oh. Well then, it didn't work for me. Better luck next time.
