So: "_____ is no big deal because _____ did it too."

How far should we take this....

- The Atlantic slave trade is no big deal because the Arabs did it too.

- Slavery in general is no big deal because Africans, Egyptians, Middle East Muslims, did it too.

- The Colonization of Africa is ok because the middle east Muslims, did it too.

- Making homosexuality illegal is ok because 30+ African countries did it too.

- Communism is ok because Cuba, North Korea, Germany, China, Vietnam, Bulgaria, USSR, etc... did it too.

- Rape and abuse of women is no big deal because, gosh everyone did it too.

So...what now, it's hypocritical of us to try to stop something bad from happening because a long time ago we did the same? Well then hell, lets just go back to the stone age. Screw law and civility.
