Enzobluesays...voted most influential living philosopher?? First time I've ever heard of him.
FNORDcincosays...Voted by the Peter Singer Fan Club...
fissionchipssays..."One of the people who was convicted of shooting a doctor who carried out abortions with a high-powered rifle was still at large"
Woops, slip of the tongue! I wonder why he might make people angry at him...
BillOreillysays...in the immortal words of the biggest ballhog in NBA history, Uncle Kobe:
"Who is this kid? I don't know this kid."
Memoraresays...so... Eugenics is actually A Good Thing?
quantumushroomsays...Singer's own words: "When the death of a disabled infant will lead to the birth of another infant with better prospects of a happy life, the total amount of happiness will be greater if the disabled infant is killed ... killing a disabled infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Very often it is not wrong at all."
WTF DUDE? This Hitler-wannabe is totally harshing my mellow.
rembarsays...Hah! I'm taking an ethics class taught by Singer next semester.
Dude isn't a Hitler wannabe, the man is very intelligent if somewhat off the deep end. Unless you've actually sat down and listened to the guy, it's very hard to judge him properly.
quantumushroomsays...Singer's not speaking theoretically or challenging civilized society in order to strengthen it; he'd actually allow these horrible things to come to pass if he had the power.
He's no better than a hitman or other criminal, rationalizing his own bizarre interpretation of reality.
For all the times the left has idiotically accused conservatives of "fascism", this philositurd more than deserves righteous condemnation.
