Justifying Idiocy

You ever meet someone who used to do hard drugs who uses that fact to justify their smoking? Sure, they used to be totally messed up, but since they are less messed up than they used to be, we are supposed to give them a cookie and be overjoyed that they are moderately messed up. As they are polluting your airspace, they always come at you with a line like:

"I used to smoke meth, but now I just smoke cigarettes."

Well, congratulations on not smoking meth. That's super. However, your argument is still like saying:

"I used to kill children, but now I just kill puppies."

It's an improvement, but you're still not quite there. Thus, no cookies for you.
