Thank you, Ivokk, you made precisely the point I wanted to make regarding Utilitarianism. I've got nothing really further to add on that particular topic.
Other than:
And your understanding of utilitarianism isn't very good, it doesn't matter if its rational ,only if it increases happiness.
Again, I suggest you stop trying to participate in the utility argument, when you don't understand it properly. It's statements like this that lead Ivokk to ignore you, because it's not just incorrect, it's also illogical and an improper use of utilitarianism.
If we killed you, then Ivokk's life will probably be happier. Does that mean that utilitarianism suggests that we ought to kill you? And your whole family and all your friends? (So that there's no unhappiness from survivors.)
If you're at an age where you and your friends are passing porn around, you're probably what, mid-teens? Go back to school, study hard. Find some books on philosophy and read them from cover to cover. Then do it again. And again. Then come back and we can sit down and talk about philosophy.

Now, an anabolic addict who is trying not to do drugs will often develop impulses to engage in behaviors that also stimulate that same area in the brain. Primarily these are extreme behaviors that include some element of thrill. So you will see people who recover that are motivated towards very dramatic relationships, sexual acting out, truancy, criminal behaviors, extreme sports, gambling, shopping and overeating. All of these behaviors when done to excess will have some degree of activity in that medial forebrain bundle which is particularly luring and particularly satisfying — especially early in their recovery.
A common behavior that I see in opium addicts who are not in recovery but are trying desperately not to use, is that they will often steal. You will see women, particularly female patients, go into a store and steal things they don't need as a way of just desperately trying to gain relief from overwhelming feelings that the drugs have left them with.
Evidence?
This sounds like wild bull!@#$ to me, along the same lines of the gate-way theory (which enough evidence is against to conclude is false).
