Default Re: Philosophy questions - Morality & Moral Theories

Would you please change your avatar to the album cover of Pink Floyd's The Wall. I will repeat this one last time . . . you are conflating morality with legality. There is absolutely nothing in Utilitarianism that requires me to make value judgments for you. If you want to buy a Dell 2001fp instead of feeding the homeless, then yes, a Utilitarian could claim you are acting immorally. However, he cannot force you to feed the homeless instead.
