- dmor 15y agoA serial killer
- yelsgib 15y agoI have great compassion for Jeffrey Dahmer. And do you realize that you just compared making an awkward joke to killing loads of people?
- j_baker 15y agoI made no such comparison. It's called Reductio ad absurdum: http://www.iep.utm.edu/reductio/ http://www.iep.utm.edu/reductio/ My point was that if we accept your argument, we must also accept the patently absurd (at least to me) argument that one must have compassion for Jeffrey Dahmer, and it doesn't sound as though you disagree.
