plonq: (Grossed out)
The stairwell in the parkade smelled freshly of urine this morning.  Every time the smell starts to fade, somebody staggers in and renews it again.  It finally occurred to me that this might not be random; the winos are scent-marking their territory.
plonq: (Intrigued mood)
Usually when I take one of these memes I have a pretty good sense of what the answer is going to be as I'm going along, but every once in awhile I'm surprised by the result.  I was expecting existentialism, or at worst apathy.  Who'd have thought that I was a utilitarian at heart?

You scored as Utilitarianism. Your life is guided by the principles of Utilitarianism:  You seek the greatest good for the greatest number.



“The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.”

--Jeremy Bentham



“Whenever the general disposition of the people is such, that each individual regards those only of his interests which are selfish, and does not dwell on, or concern himself for, his share of the general interest, in such a state of things, good government is impossible.”

--John Stuart Mill
