I didn't really care about the argument, but someone needs to tell you to chill the hell out.Some weekend reading:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilt_by_associationRead those, try to understand them, and also realize that when you resort to pulling the Holocaust card to support your completely unrelated claim, you risk having people lose what little respect they might have had.

Sorry if I offended you but they never seemed to get it so
I made an analogy that I hoped would finally get thru to them.

It is no difference than a football game in which the clock will run out when it strikes 0:00.Of course, you will object because you prefer other means. That is a preference issue and has nothing to do with morality. Calling everyone a thief and phrasing like you are some kind of Jesus wanna-be just demonstrated that you are .....
