Only of the thought of it, when it comes down to the needle puncturing my skin I'm not bothered by it...That is, as long as I look away. To be honest, I'm not fan of the thought that any alien object entering my body :P.
I rarely laugh really... Even though the little me in my head can go "HA! HAHA!", my mouth doesn't go silly that often. So no, I've never cried tears of joy. Only when I'm intoxicated by certain substances do I get the giggles.
I disagree with your version of utilitarianism because I don't think anything can be intrinsically "good" or "bad" since both are nothing more than labels used after a subjective evaluation of an action/thought/whatever.
It's less retarded than most moral systems though, I'll give it that.

Pretty much this, but after all - even instinctively we're judged. Even for example a wolf in a pack would get angry at someone for doing something stupid or sad when a beloved one is lost to a disease, which causes the wolf think that diseases are bad. Judgements such as "good" and "bad" are simply opinions originating from pleasure and pain which tell us instinctively not to jump off a building because we'll break something which hurts us.. And that's bad, mmkay?
These are ofcourse very physical examples, but the same thing goes for mental stuff.
The Dillinger Escape Plan - The Mullet Burden on guitar, the tapping is really quite annoying because I'll have to use my pinky which I've never practised with tapping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CGZCNpvgYk
Give him a bag of bread but he wouldn't get into my own house, nothing personal against those kind of people but I do not want strange people sleeping in my house.
ABORTION! In fact it should be law to abort those babies.bobaban
No offense but you sound a lot like Hitler did... Why should it be? Are you some wizard who's soul can be placed into a mentally or physically disabled person and feel what they feel? You have no proof whatsoever that any child or your future hypothetical child would continiously suffer through life.
[QUOTE="Jandurin"]so he can have a choice of what? So he can have a choice whether or not he can live his life. He may not be able to form a thought to give his consent to the abortion, but he still needs to be allowed to live long enough to have a choice. Whether or not he enjoys the way his brain works? If he wants, sure. Whether or not he should off himself? Yes, if that's what he desires. Do you condone suicide? No, but suicide can't always be stopped. 'cause your post would make more sense if you did I agree with this, if I had an unhappy child with some kind of disorder then I would do everything to make him/her enjoy life again. But if it doesn't work out in the end and my child really wants to commit suicide. Then I would hold his/her hand without a doubt and stroke his/her head while he/she slowly drifts away. I'm not anti-abortion or anything, but I would want my child to have a choice.
I'm not a woman lol but the chance that my children would get dyslexia is pretty big, I'm also psychotic and when looking at my other family members there's a pretty big chance that my children would get some kind of a psychotic disorder. But even if I was a woman then I wouldn't get an abortion.
