Bend It Like Bentham

A utilitarianism blog. Bending the truth and distorting the facts of reality so as to conform them with our own set of whims, emotions, faiths and wishes. This blog will take you on a journey through the philosophical musings and inner conflicts of a man entering the world of utilitarianism. We will focus on dissecting the works of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. Lastly, we will be exposing Objectivism as the irrational philosophy that it is.

I Have A Right To Life

Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident; That all men are created equal, that they endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...

I am pre-law. This means whatever I think thiss statement means is infallible, and I won't be tolerating any difference of opinion from commoners like you. The meaning of my right to life is that despite the laws of nature, I have a right to automatic food and health care. This means enslaving my fellow man through institutionalized violence. Their property will need to be expropriated in the form of taxes so that I can live. But uh oh it also says people have a right to liberty! Well we can't embrace both, what would you have life or liberty! You can't enjoy liberty when your dead so become a Utilitarian today!
