Eh, a couple of the comments she dredged up were almost worth a frown. The rest were penny ante bullshit that maybe, possibly, somehow could be pitted if someone was a total idiot with nothing better to do. Oh, look.
I agree with many of the quotes too but as a whole they make him look like a twit. When people refer to "natural law" to explain their pet version of reality e.g. :
"I call myself pro-life because, ultimately [snip] I think a healthy woman killing her healthy progeny (often with encouragement of the father) is the act of a mentally sick species "
and are actually whacko wrong (infacide has many non-human examples, many wouldn't think a fetus as "progeny", what is the mental "norm" for all species?)I mostly stop actively agreeing with them, even when they get a point right somehow.
I used to keep mice, and one time one of the females had a litter of 19 of the little buggers. She ate 6 of them and threw another 3 or 4 into the water dish to drown. Funny how even a mouse has enough brains to dispose of offspring it cannot care for.
It's a collection of quotes, some I agree with, some I don't. But none of the quotes warrants a pit thread, and certainly none of the quotes substantiates the racism Even Sven alludes to.
The original thread is interesting (in Great Debates) because that poor bastard Aeschines doesn't seem to have a single person who agrees with his premises or arguments. They're arguing different parts of it with him; he's busier than a cat licking two skillets trying to defend his points

Oh no no no. Don't you see, mice and rats are "mentally sick species". That's why they are so rare and have such a short lifespan, evolutionarily speaking of course. ;)
But yeah, the pitting wasn't that great. I'm not a fan of the shotgun approach, "Hey look- he's crazy about everything!". Best to focus on 1 or 2 loony bits, doesn't split up your audience so much.

Even Sven? Well I got my eyes on you now, you commie.

Conclusion: even sven is a whining little cunt.
Next!

Glad we got that settled. Next!
