Abortion could keep life as you want it to be (this is the post i had to redo)
Freedom of Speech by Bentham
In my opinion, people should be allowed to say whatever they want. Freedom of speech is a right everyone has and it is part of the liberty one has as a human being. Therefore the government cannot censor people about what they can and cannot say. I once said that liberty is good because it is pleasant and brings pleasure, whilst the restriction of liberty is painful and therefore bad. Law also restricts liberty and is also bad and painful. Everyone should have the liberty to say and to publish whatever they want. Any government who tries to impose a censure on what can be said is doing wrong and is unethical. Liberty cannot be denied to anyone. Freedom of speech is never unethical. People often have new ideas that may seem odd, unfamiliar and inappropriate but these ideas could actually be very helpful and interesting if one took the time to analyze them. People should not conform into doing whatever a government tells them to do. On the other hand, they have all the liberty to express themselves and this could in many cases lead to finding the truth. All liberty brings pleasure and therefore liberty of speech is also good because it brings pleasure and no pain. Sometimes allowing somebody to express himself in times of oppression might indeed bring good to the greatest number of people. This would be marvelous and would prove that everyone has the ability to think and be entitled to his or her own ideas. Freedom of speech is therefore always ethical and should be allowed as a part of our liberty as humans. Censorship is unethical because everyone has the right to express what he or she wants.

Do the Math!
LYING, CHEATING, STEALING, IS IT RIGHT?
Bias on the morality view in our current society, this three factors (lying, cheating, and stealing) are view as negative actions. This is an ethical dilemma because it is a choice that a person has to make, weather he does what it please him or does he comfort to society. Speaking as a Post Modernism, more specifically base on Friederich Nietzsche concept of “I”, I believe that if these factors are suitable for the person, then it is the right path for him. According to Nietzsche, people are responsible for their own actions; we make our own decision because we decide how we are going to live our live. No one tell us hoe live, what decision to make. Regardless of the kind of the decision we made, we are always responsible for the consequences. Lying, cheating, and stealing always bring negative consequence to a person that perform them, but if a person believes that these actions will bring more benefits to him, that it is perfect fir him, then according to his morality he is doing the right thing. But there is also the case for a person who believes that these actions are bad. In their morality, these actions are repulsive. Only good deeds will bring benefits for that person. It all depends on the person weather this actions are right or wrong.
