Downvoted for sarcasm. I was under the impression that (unsubtle forms of) sarcasm in non-humorous discussions are outlawed on LW, and that's very OK with me.

Downvoted for being a wet blanket and incorrect assumption of sarcasm. If it's ok to talk about the implications of legalizing infanticide then it is ok to follow the weirdtopia through and have fun with it. I adamantly refuse to take on a sombre tone just because people are talking about killing babies. My due diligence to the seriousness of babykilling with my expression of clear opposition - with that out of the way I am (and should be) free to join Konk and Jayson counterfactual wherein the actual logical implications related to killing other people's non-people infants are considered.

On a related note - of all the movies I was forced to endure and study in high school the only one I don't resent as a boring waste of my time is Gattaca!

If I downvote you for calling a valuable lesswrong contributor a fucking idiot is that a compliment or a criticism? ;)

If I tell you you have a perverse wit will you hold it against me?

I'd never agree with being called a fucking-idiot-in-general! :D It's just an observation that my mind feels numb and sluggish tonight, probably because of the weather.
