You're frustrating, and you think it's okay to fuck dogs. What in the holy mother cunt is that.
Ahem.
If the puppers consents first.
so how do you feel about statutory rape laws and about what human mental age do you estimate an adult dog attains

But you don't hate me though. You probably just hate me for my blatant disregard for your and you're
I was just looking at your thread and the consistency with which you're beginning your posts with the wrong one is triggering me

Their life value dropped to zero the moment they kill an innocent person.
no
bad

life has value
Feel free to explain.
Suffering is suffering no matter who is suffering.  We should try to minimize the suffering in the world.  In so far as we choose to inflict suffering it should be with the reasonable belief that our actions are justified by mitigating suffering in some other way.

73
I mean I get that utility is a super nebulous concept that's impossible to measure and can't really be used to objectively guide your behavior but it at least gives you a framework for trying to think about your decisions.

Consequences don't matter, the act itself matters.
This is essentially the point I don't agree with at all.  There's no such thing as an action in itself divorced from its consequences (defined as broadly as possible).  An action with no consequences isn't a thing.  An action is literally defined by how it affects reality through its consequences, there's nothing else for us to care about.

You've made an argument about consent based on intuition but why should I care if its not tied back to anything that actually has something to do with reality?  Even skipping that, unless you've already settled on a separate universal maxim that an individual's consent may never be violated (which you haven't and probably wouldn't try to anyway), then why should I think consent can be a deciding factor in this instance?

76
I don't have a universal maxim against killing, I have one against murder. Killing someone in self-defense or who has a desire to be killed isn't murder. Killing a prisoner or someone on their knees, who doesn't want to die, is.
How did you come to these conclusions if you think doing so by weighing the consequences of the same action in those different situations is the wrong way to do it?

77
Homeless people are a waste of space, they just eat, drink, and tarnish our poverty statistics. Let's kill them all!

Utilitarianists are retarded.
If they really caused sufficient harm to society to outweigh the impact of taking a life, which they don't, which is why you don't think that's a good idea. For comparison, how do you feel about the morality of killing an enemy combatant in the middle of a firefight on the front line of a war?  How about assisted suicide for the suffering and terminally ill?  If you think it's okay to kill someone in either of those two cases you obviously don't agree with a universal maxim against killing.

Sweeping moral ultimatums (such as: we must never ever under any circumstances convict an innocent person) sound nice but become pretty useless when almost any pair of them can be made to contradict each other.  They're useful as heuristics but the underlying sentiments they embody have a utilitarian basis.  (or they were just bogus to begin with, looking at you 'homosexuality is a sin!' et al)

78
Convicting an innocent person does not generate negative infinity utility does anyone actually think that or are they just cool with rolling with hyperbolic statements to show support for an underlying sentiment
Morality > utility
what are you even trying to say
do you just like sticking with the vaguer phrasing of a position to try to make it less obvious that it's ridiculous


like I'm going to give people the benefit of the doubt and say I don't think they really believe that, and therefore there is in reality always a tradeoff
You didn't even bring up the ethical consequences of ruining an innocent person's life, just the utility of it. Utility doesn't matter here.
ruining a person's life does not entail an infinite quantity of negative "ethical consequence"
failing to stop a criminal entails a non-zero quantity of negative "ethical consequence"
therefore, there is always a trade off

why insist on the worse way to phrase it
