Is your monitor defective and not displaying the word "IMPLEMENT" when I type it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Your original post said that utilitarianism was oppressive; it said nothing about implementing it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lots of people say things like "slavery is oppressive" without mentioning "implementing" it.

The OP was clearly talking about utilitarianism as a moral theory, and your response did nothing to indicate that you were changing that context to emphasize how the theory is put into practice socially, legally, or otherwise. When people talk about disagreeing with slavery, the discussion is understood to be about the practice of slavery, not some abstract philosophical theory.
