When did "agenda" become a bad word?
Are people trying to turn the word "agenda" into a bad word? Every time I here someone from the right say the phrase" liberal agenda" or " gay agenda" I think they are trying to make "agenda" sound sinister. Having an agenda just means that you have a list of things to do. This mite just be me, but I don't find a wedding cake with two grooms on it all that sinister. But the right acts like gay people want to brake in their house and marry their 8 year old son to 49 year old paedophile. Liberals just want to make sure people of all religions, political parties, sexual orientations, and nationalities won't be discriminated against. But the second someone says " agenda" after the word " liberal " then people start imagining the Soviet tanks rolling in.Why are people acting like a bunch of paranoid schizophrenics?
Winning Position: Yes.

Winning Position: Kill the one person
In this problem you are standing near a train track. A train is hurdling down the tracks. In the trains path is five people tied up. They cannot move. There is a lever near you. You can divert the train onto another track, but on that track is one person who is unaware of the situation. The one person is too far away to hear you. You cannot hold the lever in a way that will cause the train to derail (hold the lever in the middle). Which option do you choose? Allow the train to kill the five? Or divert the train to kill the one person and save the five? Also, in your response do tell me if you feel as if you are morally obligated to do anything in this situation.
