      I'm pretty sure it was pigs. I can't find the post now, but the subject was what has more "value." He said he valued intelligence foremost. 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.

      Strange as that is, that's one thing. But to speak for "normal people" about how children should be raised is quite another.

              NORMAL human instinct would find an adult human risking his/her life to save a human infant, but not to save a whale or a dog or a pig. Because the human is inherently more valuable to other humans... or should be. Someone devoid of this instinct is hardly "normal," and not in a position to speak for "normal people" as to the best way to raise their children. So, I am referring back to the post by SL where he presumes to speak for what "normal people" think.

              But I state the obvious.

                Pig deaths are tasty, even if they are cruel.

                  You seem to be confusing being a normal person, with the ability to understand what the majority of average people think on a particular issue.

                  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.

                  I'm very very far from a normal person. But it doesn't stop me noticing what normal people think on various issues.
                  "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
                  "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
                  "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

                      I'm not sure what poll you are referencing, but results from a Google search on the subject doesn't support your assertion. Perhaps you have something specific in mind? A link?

                      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.
