Logically circular, paints with a huge brush. In other words, logically equivalent to the OP's premise.

No, logically circular arguments are very specific, and extremely easy to refute because of it.

And someone jumping off a bridge does not logically justify jumping off the same bridge. Even if the whole fucking country jumps off that bridge, I'd still think twice about it.

Seriously, any time one declares "All (Democrats, Republicans, Blacks, Whites, Gays, Straights - pick one) are XXX", the statement reflects more on the person making it than on the target population.

Agreed - I've made that point dozens of times here at USPO. But firing back on the same level drags you down to that same level one presumes to object to.

And if you want to slice'n'dice (or spin) morality - or logic - I'm your man.
