comparative victimness

[gsh]

Is it really useful to have debates on whether the Duke Lacross team members are more victims than the Rutgers basketball team?

I don't know. Is it worth comparing three kids who were facing life in prison for something they didn't do to benefit the reelection campaign of a district attorney with a group of people who were insulted by an idiot who makes his living insulting people?

Seems to me the comparison is pretty lame.

You beat me to it. I was about to reply with exactly the same sentiments.

About as lame as making a comparison in my lj of something that I said wasn't worth comparing.
