Oy, the party is so noisy out here that it woke up every surrounding sleepy forum!

I'm sorry but from my point of view, anyone's life is just as important as Obama's. When it comes down to opinions, every opinion should be weighted and argued. From here on, you can make your own opinion. Obama takes the decisions, it doesn't mean this is his original opinion!

Anyway, did it just all start with a "disrepectful" post from a manager to another of his peers? lol.

That's pretty much how it started.

Let's see if I can incite another 50 post rant from everyone.



YOU ALL SUCK!

Why? My life is not worth as much as Obama's. I am a young student. He is the president of the most powerful country in the world. How can we be equals? :P

Seeing as I am a philisopher (well that is what my uni degree tells me) I will say that as a philosopher I both agree and disagree. In general all lives are worth the same but there will be cases where there are exceptions. For example if Naker really was infected with a deadly and dangerous virus, one that threatened to potentially kill millions if it spread then as a humanist he deserves the same right to have a life as anyone else but as a utilitarian I would be happy to kill him myself and then burn the body for the good of humanity.

Straying into really foreign teritory now with regard to Obama I regard him with the same sort of disappointment with which I view Krudd. Initially I was so excited and saw potential for a great leap forward but during both of their rules there was far more failures, politicing and broken promises than actual progress.

Doesn't your first example just prove that 1 million lives > 1 life though?

Actually you guys are right: a (healthy) baby's life is more valuable than Obama's. The baby is the future, Obama's only the present. Ill not even come to "Obama can be replaced...)

Correct, a utilitarian will always strive to do what is the best for the majority.

Utilitarianism ftw! :D
Hell, if I was infected with a deadly disease I'd probably just kill myself :P
