Antinatalism Man

So, I absolutely HATE the new blogger posting format...so far, anyway. I can't figure out how to embed my new video, so I'll have to ask anyone who's interested to visit my YouTube channel to see my new video comic strip, Antinatalism Man. It's just a new angle, maybe break me out of my latest funk. Hope everyone's relatively safe and sound, and doing well. Take care...jim.

Some Thoughtful Commentary From the Opposition i.e. "Don't Shake the Life-Lie!"

From time to time I run across opinions contrary to my own regarding the subject of antinatalism. Not so surprisingly, a lot of them are laced with animosity. This is quite understandable. When one considers the patently 'taboo' nature of the subject, which nevertheless more than holds its own in the arena of idea and debate, one expects critiques short on intellectual cogency, and long on visceral huffing and puffing. I thought I'd offer some of the more glaring examples of what I'm talking about below. Enjoy!

Singer's cajoling us not to have children obviously comes straight from Satan! Can't you hear the tempter's oily words and seemingly irrefutable logic, leading to a conclusion that means death for every human being on this planet within a generation? That's what Satan wants.

A single minute spent bashing Peter Singer's brains in, with a wooden or aluminum baseball bat, in the morning or the afternoon, with or without protective goggles, would be even better than a Big Mack Meal. Possibly even a Supersized one.
