Odd, he doesn't look like a deranged idiot...

A Clemson philosophy argued recently that he wants all humans to die off as a punishment for their treatment of animals and the environment. Since his article was published in the New York Times, he has refused to defend his opinion.
According to a report from The College Fix, Clemson University Professor Todd May recently called for the end of human existence and has refused to defend his argument. May argued that humans do far more bad than good. What are humanity’s worst crimes according to the professor? These include oppression of animals and destruction of the environment.
The New York Times column, which was titled “Would Human Extinction Be a Tragedy?” was published in late December. In the column, May weighs humanity’s positive contributions to the world against its negative contributions.
First, human contribution to climate change is devastating ecosystems, as the recent article on Yellowstone Park in The Times exemplifies. Second, increasing human population is encroaching on ecosystems that would otherwise be intact. Third, factory farming fosters the creation of millions upon millions of animals for whom it offers nothing but suffering and misery before slaughtering them in often barbaric ways. There is no reason to think that those practices are going to diminish any time soon. Quite the opposite. Humanity, then, is the source of devastation of the lives of conscious animals on a scale that is difficult to comprehend.
And then May hit his readers with his conclusion. “It may well be, then, that the extinction of humanity would make the world better off and yet would be a tragedy. I don’t want to say this for sure, since the issue is quite complex,” May wrote. “But it certainly seems a live possibility, and that by itself disturbs me.”

at the risky of being cranky on a Monday morning, he may wish to start with himself.
Professor Todd May can go first.
So he admits he’s “distrubed.”
I agree. He’s disturbed.
He needs to get some help.
I suggest electroshock therapy twice a day for twenty-five years.
We can start with making liberal arts faculty extinct.
Methinks a marked improvement will occur.
Please find a tall building ,wait no find a cliff where no one will ever find you
Odd, he doesn't look like a deranged idiot...
It’s quite clear where the extinction project needs to start.
So Jim Jones, the Heaven’s Gate guy, and Anders Behring Breivik are now heroes, professor?
I hope you are talking about the professor, and not me...
Hey, Todd - you first. Show us how it is done.
re: “Natch”
I see a lot skin on his head, and he’s whi ....
Never mind. It doesn’t for any profile ... cept “crazy”.
This guy is giving voice to what most billionaires actually believe.
X-actly. Weird how none of the ehrlichers want to make the ultimate example of themselves. Well most of them won’t. There was that one smoking example last year in NYC who used evil gasoline to toast himself.
You first Todd! Let me know where to send the cyanide pills.
Sounds like the good prof turned his female grad student pick lines into an op-ed.
I take this means he doesn’t support the football team.
You first monsieur professeur then I will give it some thought.
This rebuttal to this moron is too easy.
