It wasn't whether they are worse (I'd agree that they are often worse), but if they are magnitudes worse. If the kidnap, imprisonment and rape of one person is comparable to the murder of hundreds or thousands of people (since that would be magnitudes more).

In my opinion to call one magnitudes worse than the other is to immensely downplay the seriousness of the other.

magnitudes

I mean, one death by bear, vs., years of imprisonment and repeated sexual assault with no end in sight. seems like magnitudes of difference to me. YMMV

Ah ok. I was thinking of specific instances rather than an indefinitely long situation, so I see where you are coming from now.
