Tonight HFFM, through a series of contradictory statements, arrived at the conclusion that he is a utilitarian- that is- one that believes on doing actions that result in the most good, regardless of the right or wrongness of the action itself. He said that it would be morally right to kill 100 people to save 1. I have no problem with this as it supports his conclusion. However, I pose to him this set of choices to test his position. It is good that you honk as it allows you to breathe and therefore prolongs your life. I find it good when you do not honk and, in general, living in a world free of your influence. Therefore my preference has two good outcomes as opposed to your one. My preference has the greatest good. Therefore, HFFM, if you are truely a utilitarian STOP BREATHING!!
On another note I pose to you the reader some important questions which you may be able to answer (numbered in situation below).
Lastnight my boyfriend and I were indulging in carnal activities in the back room of his dorm room when suddenly his fat smelly tuba wielding roommate entered the front room. My boyfriend proceeded to yell "Stop, stay in there!" then again "Don't come back here!". Then, giving me only time to grab a nearby spongebob pillow to cover myself, the roommate appeared, blushed, and apologized. We got down out of the bunkbed, and I began to feel mortified. My boyfriend asked if he had heard us, did he have his headphones on "No, I didn't have my headphones on" So I pondered 1) Why did he come back if he had heard us? No sooner had I thought this (less than 10 seconds) than he reappeared, making no efort to announce himself or divert his eyes "I've got to grab something" he said. I had no time but to flop down on the bottom bed, face down to hide my the majority of my nudity, curling up and hiding behind my, well, behind. He had to grab his headphones. He then left the back room again, sat at his desk and began to do homework 2) Why did he not afford us any consideration and announce himself? 3) What was so damned important about his headphones that he couldn't wait 2 minutes tops to let me pull some clothes on?
I would have cried if I could have stopped laughing at my luck long enough. My final question, to HFFM and the roommate is this 5) Why aren't people considerate anymore?
