Nah gotta be trolling. With the Palin avatar and everything.
Honestly the guy's a moron. He isn't smart enough to troll. His previous avatar was Nigel Farage.

I wonder about the genes we lost in WWI and WWII... did we erase a lot of primitive, violent genes? Maybe. Did we also lose some really good genes? Probably.
Only 20pc of people in the war actually fired their weapon at the enemy. So yeah, we probably lost some nice jeans.

You know he's probably trolling.
The worst part is that he's actually stupid enough to believe what he's saying, though.

37 And Jacob took rods of green poplar and of the hazel and chestnut tree, and peeled white strips in them and made the white appear which was in the rods.
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled before the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth animals ringstreaked, speckled and spotted. You can breed zebras by placing stripy branches in front of horses? Somebody please explain this to me?

I'd be pretty much wholly indifferent.
With a little bit of pity that somebody has found themselves in the same situation I was once in.

Is that why America's coastlines are shrinking?
Yeah, but we might go down quicker. Spics aren't as heavy as Arabs on account of the latter's bomb vests.

Of course this is all presupposing that it is better to exist than to not, which I don't think is entirely valid.
Get off your alt, Verb.

People who claim to be for inclusivity/diversity/equality, but then end up being the most racist/sexist people in the comments section.
The recent shift towards promoting segregation in schools is just too funny to believe, but... it's real.
*sigh*
What?

Well I respect his work and think he's got interesting and compelling arguments, but it seems impossible to apply.
It just looks insane on the face of it, to me. Like his metaphysics. There's no such thing as an action in itself; all actions are just a collection of motivations and consequences. It makes zero sense to not judge actions by those metrics. A categorical imperative would only make sense if it were consequentially tolerable.

Does living until 90 rather than 30 devalue life?
Yes. According to my calculations, the average life has lost 50.8pc of its value upon its 63rd birthday. Which is why I support mandatory abortions of people on their 63rd birthday.

I don't take Kant's hard and fast view that an action is itself immoral without consideration of the motivation behind that action, or its consequences.
Thank God. Kantian ethics make me want to tear my hair out.

and the same arguments people use to justify refusing transfusions is the same you're using now.
I'm not making any arguments; I'm just interested in what your opinion is. I'm just interested how you think personal responsibility and autonomy, as well as how mitigating circumstances like age, impact the ethics of the situation as you see it.

Not if the patient won't recover.
Can't say I've ever heard of life support being removed from a non-terminal patient. Okay, what if the person themselves makes the choice to have no life support? Does it change with age, such as with elderly people who take out "Do not resuscitate" orders? Is suicide immoral?

Terminating life support is immoral?

Why do religious people not pick up on that?
I don't think people are capable of comprehending infinity. Or economics, for that matter.

Yup.

More Free Cities have been created, with the 30pc land tax. 10,000 pikemen have been recruited.
Morocco annexed next year.
Spain warns the English Crown that Morocco is already under siege by Spanish forces.
Fook. English forces pledge an oath of fealty to the Spanish Army, and help to conquer the foreign lands in her name. England asks Spain if she might allow our armies to take Algeria unmolested, after Morocco is hers.

It's going out of the way to be aggressively racist for no reason at all. I'd hardly call a picture of two black hands in chains "aggressively racist".

The event was marred by criticism over the Brandy, Peach Schnapps and lemonade cocktail which was advertised by a poster featuring a picture of black hands in chains. So either this didn't bother you or you didn't read the article.
Yeah, it's fucking insensitive. But claiming it makes Oxford Union institutionally racist is like saying Cards Against Humanity is oppressive.

Over a fucking cocktail.It is one of Britain’s oldest debating societies, regarded as a bastion of free speech and a training ground for future politicians.
But the Oxford Union’s governing body has passed a unanimous motion recognising that it is “institutionally racist” following an outcry over a “highly offensive” cocktail named “The Colonial Comeback”.
The nearly 200-year-old society hosted a debate entitled "This House Believes Britain Owes Reparations to her Former Colonies" with speakers including Sir Richard Ottaway, the former Conservative MP.
The event was marred by criticism over the Brandy, Peach Schnapps and lemonade cocktail which was advertised by a poster featuring a picture of black hands in chains.
Union officers now face being sent to racial awareness workshops amid growing concern about a “culture that marginalises black and minority voices”.
At a Standing Committee meeting to address the fallout over the cocktail, the society’s Treasurer Zuleyka Shahin proposed a motion that the society was "institutionally racist".
Kiran Benipal, co-chair of the Campaign for Racial Awareness at Oxford University, said there was an “uncomfortable silence” just before the motion was passed.
“We had been discussing whether the cocktail was racist, and whether the way the Oxford Union dealt with it was indicative of further problems,” Ms Benipal said.
“The Treasurer proposed a motion that ‘The Oxford Union is institutionally racist’ and it was discussed for about 15 minutes before being passed.”
Ms Benipal, a first year Classicist, added: “They now have to do some work to deal with the fact that they have recognised that they are an institutionally racist organisation.
“The cocktail was symptomatic of a wider problem in the Union of racism. There is a culture where someone felt comfortable enough to make a poster like that and felt that it would go unpunished.”
She said that the Union had got in touch with her about arranging race training workshops for its officers.
Sizwe Mpofu-Walsh, a spokesman for Rhodes Must Fall, an Oxford University group which campaigns against imperialism, said: “Officers realised that [the cocktail] was reflective of an institutionally racist culture that marginalises black and minority voices.
“This motion sends a very clear message that the Union and its leadership acknowledge the scale of the problem and that there is a systemic problem in the Oxford Union that silences certain voices.”
The row over the “Colonial Comeback” cocktail prompted the resignation of the Union’s Black, Minority and Ethnic officer Esther Odejimi.
She told the student newspaper Cherwell that she was “disgusted” at the way the society had behaved over the “ridiculously insensitive poster”.
The Union did not respond for comment. Jesus Christ almighty.
