Kantian Overdose

Another week is almost over, I feel like time is just flying by and before I know it, my time here will be gone.
Last night I went to my Philosophy professor's house for dinner with my class (there's only 7 of us) and it was really fun. We talked about philosophy and school life and the differences between education systems. Olivia asked the question "Is there a moral argument that will always work against torture?" Which I thought was pretty genius. Then when torture didn't seem to have high enough stakes we talked about genocide. I think that if there's a benefit for someone then they will always go through with something no matter how horrible. But in terms of being against torture totally no matter what then we discussed the argument that it will harm the community and that it violates the human being (Kant) but then we have to decide what the definition of a human being is. It was pretty complex. I was kind of brain dead after it all.
Another day at work, it's quite slow. I met with a couple of clients, wrote a letter, sent a fax. I'm going to observe a debate on the Israel/Palestine issue tonight, should be interesting.
