[quote name='mcgraham' post='731506' date='Feb 1 2010, 11:49 AM']Very true about the 'cost is all relative comment'. For example, when a BC'er posted a comment in another thread with the (effective) message 'you've got nothing to moan about compared to those in Haiti', it struck me that you can cast almost any comment in a selfish light relative to something else. The MIM fender being a good example.[/quote]
I like to call those "Big hammer, small nut" arguments. The favourite example is "well at least you're not a Jew in Nazi Germany". People make them all the time, and it should be against the law. They should have to play a verse of Mustang Sally as punishment.
