not much else to say is there?

I can't believe that people have those thoughts - and feel it acceptable to voice them.

I can't believe that this is acceptable research let alone that anyone would want to take a class from this guy. Do people just get blinded by his fame or is it that people are attracted by controversy?

Thanks for posting the article.

Thanks for posting this article, it was amazing! I actually learned a lot. It's strange, I know of Peter Singer for his animal rights arguments and didn't realize that he made the argument described here. I agree with Harriet McBryde Johnson that Singer isn't so much a monster as he is misinformed and in great need of dismantling his prejudices. Even so, I find it hard to believe anyone could feel anything other than shame for thinking let alone publicly advocating views such as Singer's. Anyhow, one last point... I feel as if I should protest your comment: "this is why i don't endorse university-level education. too many idiots with PhDs..." As a student in university, studying human rights and philosophy, I don't take Singer's ineptitude as a viable reason for opposing university-level education. After all, it's not always what you do, but what you do with it that makes the difference. I've met a lot of amazing people and learned about many things I may not have encountered otherwise. Ok, I'm done. Thanks again for posting this.
