Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

This is a satire?...please tell me, this is a satire?
Yes, let the liberals lead the way.
Put your money (or a gun) where your mouth is, Pete.
That is almost impossible to do. Try it for a few breaths and you will see. I offer him better advice.
1. Go to Wal-Mart and buy their cheapest 12 guage, single shot shotgun and a minimum quantity of shells, you only need one and it doesn’t really matter if it is fine birdshot, buckshot or anything in between.
2. Load shotgun, cock hammer, place muzzle in mouth and pull trigger.
For extra points sit on railing over large river with back turned to river and proceed according to number two.
For maximum points look up McCall, South Carolina on a map and just go there and start telling people they should all kill themselves, your estimated life expectancy will be five minutes max.
Peter Singer is a bloomin’ idiot. Even the NYT editorial staff probably thinks he’s a troll.
Send you kids to Hillsdale.
Black, asphalt-paved parking lots and exhausts from A/C compressors.
Hey Singer: go back to Hell, where you came from.
“Liberals first...”
My thoughts exactly. Pete can lead the conga line down to the sterilization clinic so the Progressives can “party into extinction”.
Yes, it sounds like he was a hypocrite. But I would put this particular bit of hypocrisy on the credit side of the ledger.
Seppuku: It's not just for disgraced Samurai any more.
It is more than just Princeton. The students of the Ivy league will be the world leaders. This is what they are learning. This will be the policy sooner or later.
I suspect sooner, if not already.
You are getting angry at the wrong man. Singer is a man who is honest enough to say what liberals actually believe. Most liberals consider him a very dangerous man, because his blunt views scare people away from liberalism. What do you prefer - a dishonest liberal who does not tell you what he really believes?
Your children, if they share your values, are actually safer in Singer’s classroom, than they would be in the classroom of a dishonest liberal. Singer will shock them. Many dishonest professors believe the same things as Singer, but deodorize their views, in order to make them more appealing to your children.
Will this guy ever shut his trap and stop flaunting his sociopathic views on the rest of humanity?
He’s just parroting Neitzsche.
I don’t have time for his nonsense when I could be learning something fulfilling and uplifting.
Or is this article a head fake. He wants the rest of us to stop having children so only he and the offspring of the enlightened can inherit the Earth?
Singer’s assumptions, that the entire World would decide simumtaleously to voluntarily self-sterilize, is so ridiculous that it makes any subsequent discussion meaningless.
The fact of the matter is the future belongs to those who choose to show up. The Liberal West is in a demographic coffin corner, with much less than replacement birth rate in many countries.
These demographic trends, if not checked, will bury us.
Bingo!
Reading Singer’s books in college made me pro-life. His slippery slope arguments on abortion and infanticide made it clear that since there was little difference between the two, and infanticide was morally wrong, then abortion was morally wrong as well.
That wasn’t the conclusion he wanted people to draw, but it is a logically consistent view.
