I dunno, it’s more entertaining than the 597,823th “rate my schedule” would have been. </p>

You sound like you’d be a great teacher.</p>
<p>Also, the 597,824th “rate my schedule” would have been far more entertaining.</p>
<p>Sometimes I feel that HSL would be better suited to a reddit-like system, in which there is a more overt “sidebar/FAQ/TOS” and people actually utilize the threads meant for their spammy threads.</p>
<p>To Apollo11: I’m sorry if I spammed college confidential. I’ve seen threads before in High School Life which weren’t pertaining to academics, and I’ve seen threads on CC which have nothing to do with the mission of CC, and were just “for fun” threads. I don’t have a Quora account, because having more social networking accounts would only distract me more :P. I find it a bit harsh that you would consider the “597, 824th ‘rate my schedule’… far more entertaining.” (Although no doubt, it is important to the person who started the thread, and for good reason). If this thread is truly spam, then I apologize and I will refrain from starting such spontaneous threads again. I will now get off my self-imposed soap box.

<p>I like everyone’s thoughts on the thread! You all are a lot more intelligent and eloquent than I am. Especially what halcyonheather said about nothing, eternal happiness, and peanut butter. That just made me crack up. </p>
<p>
I bet there’s a self-help book with this as a title. </p>

<p>I’m just joking around about CC</p>
<p>This is one of those questions where the “kill 100 people to save 1,000,000” scenario fits</p>
<p>Oh yeah, utilitarianism vs value of all life 
</p>
<p>Honestly, when properly applied, utilitarianism versus objections to it is logical versus emotional. The logical decision is clear, it is just hard for many to accept the lesser evil. Proper quantification is key (to each being subjectively) as well as avoidance of extremes. Think of “Christians to Lions”, where one person loses their life for the enjoyment of a crowd. One could easily argue that the net happiness would be positive, but few would argue for its morality.</p>
