So if you kill a couple of dozen children you will only get one year in jail? Really?

It's a tricky thing, English - sometimes comparisons aren't exact, sad to say. We just have to depend on the intelligence of the reader to understand the intent and not take it to literal extremes. Splitting hairs seems to be a specialty of yours.

Ahh so now you throw personal insults. So much for this high moral ground you are pretending to be on.

Such a shame.
