Sorry, Ronson it is whales not pigs he values more then human babies and toddlers.
Strange as that is, that's one thing. But to speak for "normal people" about how children should be raised is quite another.

So because the topic had already come up about pigs being intelligent, I asked him if he valued a pig more than a human baby. He said he would assign more value to the pig.

Originally posted by Starlight View PostI value mental function, not DNA. Human fetuses don't have as much mental functioning as whales, so I value whales more. Human adults have more mental functioning than whales, so I value human adults more. It's not exactly complicated.
he gets upset about whale deaths

Unlike you guys, my thought process isn't based around a projection of my own views onto other people. It isn't "I am the embodiment of a 'normal' person, therefore the majority of normal people agree with me on whatever matters I feel like opining on". Instead I actually look around at the evidence of what other people are thinking. e.g. if I look at a poll and think 'gosh I really don't agree with the majority on that issue', then I can remember what the majority's view on the issue was, and repeat that here.

"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell

I'm not going to hunt around for it, but my guess is that people who do not have children probably care less on the issue. The instinct to protect their kids from predators isn't there, so they don't care if other's kids are subjected to it. People who have kids of their own will want to protect them from adults who get some peculiar satisfaction from dressing provocatively in front of them. My instinct is to protect my children and grandchildren from strange adults with strange habits. Polls indicate that is "normal", and not what you assume to be normal.
