Yeah, I was thinking that he started a GD thread about that before, too, but it was [a “why omnivores suck” thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=830417). ---

No, he hoists himself by his own petard, claims that refutations of the fundamental premise of his argument are just “semantics” and responds to the (well supported) claim that people are biologically programmed to breed with a mic-dropping “no they aren’t.” ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > His cites are bad and **he should feel bad**. From the tone of the posts, I think that’s the root problem. 😃 Of course, he doesn’t really feel bad. He’s a troll, and he’s being fed. Not in the best way, of course, because most of his respondents are on to him, so they’re not arguing very hard or with any great sincerity. But he’s not a very good troll, so he doesn’t deserve to be fed well. His trolling is bad and he should feel bad. So life is good. No matter what Shitheadius Flagrantius claims to think. ---

I just think life’s overall value is entirely subjective and am annoyed when people assert otherwise. To then judge other people’s reproductive choices based on that subjective assumption is double plus annoying. It’s also a little bit cruel, or would be if anyone took it seriously. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > I don’t even think life is always good. Well, I never said “always good”. Unqualified “good” means “in the aggregate; in the final analysis.” > [@](#): > > I just think life’s overall value is entirely subjective and am annoyed when people assert otherwise. To then judge other people’s reproductive choices based on that subjective assumption is double plus annoying. If I stipulated that subject troll was actually serious about his assertions, I’d note that it’s a common problem: someone who confuses their own overheated opinions with objective reality, and chooses to argue on that basis. Unanswerably, of course, since that kind of truthy gut-feeling “fact” isn’t refutable by anything as trivial as evidence. Like I said, a troll. Hell, I’ll go further: a troll even if sincere. That kind of argument is like wrestling a pig: you both get filthy, but the pig enjoys it. No F’ing thank you. ---

I just can’t resist any excuse to talk about existentialism. That’s my main difficulty with staying out of these threads. I should change my username to Gratuitous Nietzsche Reference. ---
