Stupid Quote of the Day: Comfort on criminal responsibility

| »

From Ray Comfort, who accuses someone of not thinking too deeply and thus makes an ironic statement to crush most others:

As far as I know, you are the only one who has ever said to me that it is entirely unjust for someone else to pay for crimes of which another is guilty. I have to conclude that you made this statement rashly, and without too much thought. There is nothing at all unjust about any father stepping in and paying a speeding fine for his son. It happens all the time, and the judge has no concerns of where the payment comes from, as long as it is lawful money.

I just made a dent in my desk with my forehead.
