    Kinda funny, I remember in college philosophy, there were some things by Kant and Aquinas I thought were ridiculous, but they're kinda high on my list. Agreed most with utilitarianism so that is reflected in this survey.

    5. -- deleted due to heinousness --

    Bentham is cool. His corpse is still on display in a glass case at Imperial College in London.

    btw, the deleted #5 rhymes with Bland Sand. :mad: I agree with Macbeth's assessment of her and I just can't accept that she's in my top five.

    18. Plato (37%)
    19. Ockham (33%)

    How'd I get so many positive scores? Basically, it's just Augustine, Plato, and Ockham on my &$#! list. Oh, I do hate Ayn Rand, too. Burn in hell, b****. At least she has a d minus on my grade. Nietzche gets an F, too. You suck, Friedrich.
