Re: Arguing the Moral Toss
LOL. I guess Ben Stein's "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" movie fullfills Godwin's Law i.e. reductio ad Hitlerum perfectly.

My understanding of Godwin's Law is that it has nothing to do with the actual validity of the debate itself but rather whether the subject of Hitler and Nazism would eventually be broached the longer a debate continues. Am I wrong on this.
