This is not an example for official upholding of personal responsibility.

This is hand-waving. I used the Nuremberg trials specifically to not hand-wave.

"This is hand-waving. I used the Nuremberg trials specifically to not hand-wave."

Now that is funny, though I suspect unintentionally, and in horrifically bad taste either way.

[madez]

I think here is some kind of misunderstanding.

I did not intend to be funny nor do I see why it was bad taste.

My question for a better example was genuine.

[mryan]

Presumably lotsofmangos is making a reference to the Nazi salute.

[madez]

Ah, I see. Well, it wasn't meant like this.

It was meant as a pejorative label for him stating

    there are millions of better examples for this context

without providing one valid example.

[lotsofmangos]

I provided a valid example. It was admittedly a bit of a rubbish example, but then it was intended to be. But nevertheless, a story about a two year old learning about agency, as in, concepts of personal choice and consequence of action, is an example much better suited to the context of whether lawyers should send out strongly worded cease and desist letters when their clients tell them to, than relying on the court response to the Nuremburg defense in the face of genocide.

    I provided a valid example.

No, you did not.

I asked for "a better example where personal responsibility was officially upheld". Your example was explaining a child agency, which _does not_ include officially upholding personal responsibility.

Furthermore, I did not draw any comparison between the Nuremberg Trials and the case in question, but used them only to substantiate my argument for personal responsibility. Reread what I wrote if you are doubting.

Don't assume everybody does cheap puns and invalidly makes up connections between what was said. If I mean it, I say so.

[lotsofmangos]

It was admittedly the first thing that came to mind from a sentence about Nuremberg and handwaving.
