I would like to say that while someone walking into your house and someone walking on a corner of your 50 acre property are both trespassing (although one may be breaking and entering, at least in my state)they are not remotely near the same thing and some of these comparisons should remain in the realm of reasonable. Rediculous comparisons can actually take away from the reasonableness of an argument.
Bruce that is not true.
It is still private property
Would you like a guy standing in the corner of your lawn?
What is the difference between your land around my house andmy 300 acers?
If someone has more land it makes it less of a crime?
I did say that they were both a crime but they were not the same in seriousness. If I were to cross a remote corner of your 300 acre property you can't tell that that would be as serious as going through your front door and out your back door to get somewhere. It is like the speeding analogy: Is going 65 in a 55 as bad as going 125 in a 55? They are both wrong butwhat would you rather be caught doing?
To say crossing a remote corner of your 300 acre property is like walking in your living room is a bad comparative example and takes away from the reasonableness of an argument. It becomes emotional and not logical.
