Couldn ' t get into Harvard ? <| sep |> If you ' re going to criticise someones grammar , make sure you don ' t miss the fact they never used a semicolon when they were supposed to . It makes you look like you don ' t actually have a very good grasp of grammar and are just going full riamverysmart when you do miss it , hahaha . <| sep |> Stafford would break the record for passing yards in a SB . <| sep |> I ' m not sure who you think holds the position you ' re arguing against . As a utilitarian I think it is possible for ' pleasure ' to justify causing suffering . However , in your example , I would not think it ' s OK to trample that person . Trampling them doesn ' t actually appear to improve the lives of other beings in a significant way , but the suffering is significant . A good analogy would have to involve a tradeoff . In my analogy you can see I hope How horrible and callous it is to ignore one persons suffering based on the idea that the greater happiness outweighs it . No widespread consequential theory actually ignores suffering . It is taken into account , it ' s just not always weighed as strictly more important than any amount of good consequences .
