Re: Pretty Paper.
The objective of the paper is not to determine if fox hunting is right or wrong. To reason out which position is right you would undoubtedly need more information. You are an absolutist because you recognize that fox hunting is either right or it is wrong.

Re: Objective is not the same as absolute

This is incorrect. Or perhaps you have changed the definition of "absolute".
An absolutist would say that fox hunting is always right or always wrong.
Um, that's what I wrote. Putting "always" in front of right and wrong doesn't change the definition of absolute.
I see that you are a relativist.

Utilitarianism...
Happiness has no bearing on what makes an action right or wrong. I don't have time or the energy to explain to you the flaws of utilitarianism or read through your muddled reasoning.
Please, go to your local community college and take an ethics course. Do it for your own betterment.

Lying is not deception/Do I owe you the truth?
Matthew 2
1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
3When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
12And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
