Kanji is not logical. Actually the whole japanese language isn't logical, i think its a very romantic and beautifull language, but logic not quite.
I am actually suprised and don't understand why so many people are in favor of kanji, its chinese anyway it doesn't belong to your language, its difficult and illogical.
I myself don't mind doing the effort of learning it, but my partner says its illogical, and based on how much effort it takes to write it down i tend to say i agree. So i wondered if more japanese people felt this way.

You obviously do not know enough about the language to back up your argument. Kanji and Japanese as a whole is a very logical language.
英語より日本語の方が論理です。
More than English, Japanese is logical (Japanese is more logical than English).
Or as you would have a kanji-less translation
JAPANESEISMORELOGICALTHANENGLISH.
Take the word "live" for example. Did you read it as in "I live in England" or "I'm on live television?"
With kanji, this wouldn't be an issue.
