Err, who has ever conclusively proven that right and wrong are relative concepts?

The third door on the left. But mind the spaghetti tree.
I mean, if you were a Utilitarian and looked at Stalinism, then, empirically gather the evidence such as the death of 20 million civillians in his tenure, as well as the death of 10 million soldiers and 11 million civillians and the failure of his economic plans; which subsequently lead to economic hardship and death of the peasant classes. Then you can say that the unhappiness caused to them and their families, outweigh the happiness caused by, say the War Effort. Therefore, using an Utilitarian argument, you can say that Stalinism is wrong.
Equally, you can say the same about racism. Such as the unhappiness caused to the millions affected by racism outwieghs the happiness their racist overlords or attackers gained.

Says who? Is it intellectually honest to state something as fact without any substantiation?
Yeah, and a woman can endure a brutal rape under utlitarianism, if it made many people happy. And all sentient life on Earth should be eradicated if negative utilitarianism is true. :rolleyes:
If you want an intelligent debate about philosophy, then write something intelligent, not just substandard not-even-GCSE-level bullshit complete with
It's really not clever, or funny... Fuck, it's not even a riddle.
You're not putting any arguments in at all, just trying to wind people up and prove them to be wrong.
No thanks.
Says you.
Why would all life forms on earth be eradicated if everyone held a Negative Utilitarian moral stance? You're a lunatic who has no idea what they're talking about. Back to school with you. :wave:
Just ignore her/him.
Just another troll looking for the attention people away from the computer probably don't give them.
That's one common critique of negative utilitarianism, dumbarse!!
Do you know what negative utilitarianism is?
Doing after you've been told to stop will confirm you're a troll.
And sigh. It seems someone has discovered, I dread to think how, that different ideas of hte world exist, which challenge commonly held ones!
OMFGWTFLOLROFLBBQ.
I would like to propose that we all give up on sustaining ourselves, our lives, and the planet, and instead just climb into a giant pair of pants with rockets all over it, sew up the holes when we are inside, and blast into space, to find a new place to live, which would have to be made entirley out of toast. Should thier be life there, we can scratch our own ears constantly until a solution is found by the other lifeforms.
