Comment on It is apparently controversial

In my opinion to call one magnitudes worse than the other is to immensely downplay the seriousness of the other.

I mean, one death by bear, vs., years of imprisonment and repeated sexual assault with no end in site. seems like magnitudes of difference to me. YMMV

Ah ok. I was thinking of specific instances rather than an indefinitely long situation, so I see where you are coming from now.
