I like a joke, I like to swear, I like to smoke weed, I like freedom of communication, I like to party, I like music, I like the golden rule, I like open relationships, and I like free men of the land.
But society doesn't and I have to adapt to that to get by.
Uh i'm not sure that means you have no ethics and society does like and do all those things.

and what makes that a better choice.
More a combination, I do believe that out of utilitarism and it`s results principles can be found. Yet I do believe that utilitarism shouldnt infringe individual rights.
I guess a modern citizen of the world cannot suscribe to one of these philosophical schools alone.
I couldn't agree with you more man. I guess it just depends on the reason and situations really.

So if someone has bad hair and ask your opinion on the matter, you would feel that telling them the truth is more important than a lie than comforts them? Just trying to understand what you mean.
