He predicts bluntly, “During the next 35 years, the traditional view of the sanctity of human life will collapse under pressure from scientific, technological, and demographic developments."

I disagree vehemently with him, but I'm willing to give the idea a chance, provided we start with him as a test case and then put the idea on hold for a bit while we ponder the issue some more.

You're lucky. He's a monster. He advocates killing children up to a certain age if the parents decide they don't want them. He also is a big advocate of bestiality.

hmmm, what do you know? A wack job at at university making doe off the tax payers.

Dr. Freud... white courtesy phone.

A real Michael Jackson fan...

Can we throw in a 'repeatedly' in there somewhere?

Everyone else suffers from the "observer problem"

Yup. This is where I came in (1936). I have, indeed, heard it all before, and although I may suffer as much as anyone from the 'Observer Problem', it's not so much for me not know what's coming next.

the man the New York Times called the “greatest living philosopher,”

The sophomoric utilitarian? This would be funny if it wasn't so frightening.

I keep reading by the evolutionists that "ID" should be taught in philosophy classes, I think I know why, as apparently this guy is what philosophy classes represent.

I'm going to assume that it was sarcasm.

In the interest of avoiding confusion, I shall not speak the U-word from now on.

Lol...I know how you feel. So many words have been politicized you need a lawyer to tell you what you can say.

I think we all know what happened. A certain constituency on here will see the "know-nothing religious fundamentalists" bit and feel obligated to defend the guy no matter what. Rhetoric like that makes them weak in the knees.

[AZ_Cowboy]

I wouldn't if I were you. Just a bit of friendly advice.

[Just mythoughts]

Yes, funny thing about that word fundamentalists it is not limited to a specific mindset.

[AZ_Cowboy]

Exactly right. It isn't used that way on here, however.

I tend to let it go, though. I figure that if it helps them with their problems, I just might be the thing that stops them from going nuts in the Post Office. If it makes them feel good to bring down others, so be it.

He has to be "a big advocate of bestiality" - otherwise he has not ancestors. :)
