Comparing a debater with a murderer is not helpful...
I do believe Sascha has caused Godwin's Law to be invoked...

In the heart of any honorable person.
Just a friendly reminder that extremists (Nazis, suicide bombers, etc.) are extremely fond of your idea of there being absolute black and white values. Of course _they_ are always the ones that hold the "white" ones and the others hold the "black" ones.

Read what I wrote again. I did not compare a debater with a murderer. This is a strawman attack, and you know it.
Here is the core to which you are objecting:
"extremists (Nazis, suicide bombers, etc.) are extremely fond of your idea of there being absolute black and white values."
Do you thin that this statement is untrue, or do you simply have no arguments against it?

Non-extremists states, like the US (although this is debatable), are the only ones having dropped an atom bomb over civilians during a war.
Does this mean that non-extremism is bad?
Just to know if agreeing on your statement means agreeing on "having black and white values is a bad thing".
Your statement is true but saying that Hitler was a Bayern Munich supporter does not imply that Bayern Munich is a bad team or that nobody should ever support it. History is not an argument in any discussion.
Just after getting annoyed.

Quite right.
We all share some opinions with Nazis. I believe physical exercise is important for children, for example.
I also happen to disagree with them on many issues: expansionist war, racial supremacy and genocide, for example.
That doesn't automatically invalidate the exercise thing.
