I find some individuals disappointing. That does not stop me being generally compassionate.
Dalek Prime, by his own admission would rather not have been born. His preference for being led by the establishment rather than letting humanity have their say, speaks volumes about his nihilism.

See, you don't even know the difference between a nihilist and an antinatalist. .

I know the difference. An antinatalist is a type of nihilist, definitively.
The only difference that matters here is that most nihilists are not complete hypocrites for being alive.

Bzzzzz! Wrong. An antinatalism cares about suffering caused by consciousness. A nihilist doesnt., and would see the universe gone. I don't care if the universe survives. I only care that suffering caused by extant decision-making does not occur, at least without saying something about it.

So no, you have no idea what either a nihilist or an antinatalist is about. And you never have, so don't try to bullshit me or anyone else here that you do.

He plans to drive you up to Brokeback mountain.

I put sugar in the tank.

I've never heard it called that before!! Fudge packing; brown diving; bugging the device; stirring the peanut butter; poke in the brown eye; punch the starfish; ride the hershey highway - but NEVER put sugar in the tank.

But YOU don't give a shit about anything. SO you are not a true antinatalist by your own definition.

You forgot 'pillow-biting', Hobbes...that's my favorite.

I would have thought them a tad dry and not very tasty.

HA!

You and Hobbes are too interested in buggery.

Hobbes, if you we're less clueless, you'd know I was referring to the imaginary car that was being driven to brokeback mountain, that the sugar went into.

So, are you two homophobes, with insecurities of your own masculinity? Because most who throw 'fag' insults are.

There's more to philosophy than civilised discourse, Greta. The fact that I'm still here proves that. There's far too much politeness going on round here so yes, Dalek, pass me the petrol.

"You and Hobbes are too interested in buggery...are you two homophobes, with insecurities of your own masculinity? Because most who throw 'fag' insults are."

Er, where did I (or Hobbes) throw fag insults?

You're over-analyzing.

You could resolve the problem by throwing in a few now. It's not too late.

Hmmm, mebbe sumthin' about how Daleks look like big butt plugs for homo giants? How's that? Insulty enough?

If you happen to be a Dalek or a homo giant I daresay it is, yes, but if that's what you're depending on I don't think you're going to cause much upset. I also have to say that I wouldn't want to have an imagination like yours.
