  • You're an idiot. Everything he says is arrived at by sound logic.

    You may not agree with him, but you'd be hard-pressed to refute anything this man says through the utilization of logic alone.

    Go ahead, try it. Moron.

  • I don't pretend to agree with him on everything, but the guy rocks. What a mind.

  • @robertedge I saw it! It was very informative and interesting.

  • Awkward silence 00:09-00:12

  • Anyone see Terry Pratchett 'choosing to die'. Highly recommended! (Its on youtube)

  • @smartspick Would you like to expand on that?

    By the way, if he were a logic machine, he would spread his seed across the world and horde his money to help that seed spread further.. Singer don't....

  • His logic is valid but his premises are wrong, he is a logic machine tho

  • He is soooo controversial. Yikes I would be scared to walk outside.

  • I may not agree with him on all points, but I think it's foolish to reject him because he "supports infanticide." What he supports is mercy killing. If at any point you become hideously burned and you live in constant agony, wouldn't you want the option to off yourself? Since we could logically foresee a horrible life for the baby (its probability more weighty than the baby growing up and living a normal life), it's better to end it's life in a humane manner.

  • @SvenWolfbane12 I never made any assertion that it's correct. All I said is that a little a utilization of logic can allow a person to easily arrive at the conclusion that Singer is objectively more moral than most of those howling in opposition to his views.

  • @Trumpetz81 your statement works on the assumption that utilitarian is the 'correct' moral philosophy... which in itself is fallacious.
