Consequentialism Options

Ends justifies the means.

Damn I just got post raped. I'll have to write something long tmw, while I'm at work but for nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww:

I'm not saying totally disregard the minorities. I'm just tired of things aimed specifically at minorities who they assume are incapable of handling themselves, such as affirmative action, but I created another thread for that a while back. If we're all about equality, how come they can make some racial joke about whites and it be hilarious (funny to me too) but should a white person make a joke about someone non-white and their race, then it would be heavy racism and that person would be shunned by society. For instance, "n****r guy."

People taking advantage of the system does affect me. It takes funding from the government that could be better used for other things, and because they're leeching this money my taxes are raised. Also I'm not one to bitch about tax raises if they have a good intention. I know that taxes are a major income for the government and that without it we would be not what we are today (just imo).

la la la christmas, facism, monetary vs fiscal

"To hell with everyone" may not be American today, but it's certainly an attitude we adopted on our way to where we are. It was the expansion and wellbeing of America that mattered. If we thought the Japanese could pose a possible threat, we put them in camps. We slaughtered Indians.

The bitching and moaning about Christmas:
I remember there was this one news story a few years back about some student who was offended because there were crosses in the windows. This was made big around Christmas time and it was labeled as something along the lines of "a government attempt to subliminally spread Christianity." I mean, never mind the fact that's it's for structural integrity reasons. This story was expanded upon and someone wanted all crosses in windows removed from every government building.

The means justify the ends if the ends positive outcome is greater than the loss and opportunity cost.

Kinda spread out, I'll organize it more tomorrow.
