Once again you leap to the defense of terrible positions (and people) with the favorite argument of Utilitarians.

> I said raping people is good, and RATHER THEN answering my 37 points in favor of rape they are MOCKING ME. Help help! I'm being repressed.

And don't try to deny this Mr. Bulldog. You say

> Mccarthy has no defense against the charge of specesism—he just mocks it.

and

> Putting color-blindness in scare quotes is not an argument.

fundamentally, you have decided that an adequate response to an opinion piece is to repeatedly assert that it's not sufficiently making an "argument" and therefore has no weight. One wonders why you only seem to be able to respond to pieces that apparently don't contain any "arguments"...

Neither Singer nor I are defending raping people as you would well know if you'd read the article in adequate detail. Good reference to monty python. I pointed out a few things that were not arguments. There were, however, some arguments, albeit terrible ones. I responded to these because they annoyed me and I thought it would be fun to respond to them.
