Pigeonholed, Part Two

In a class discussion of John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism...

Me: So Mill identifies pleasure with the good, but do you think there are any pleasures that are just intrinsically bad?

Student: Well, what about, like...dogfighting, y'know? That's. like, real popular down South, isn't it?

Me: (silent disbelief)

Me: Uh...no, not really.

What's with these Yankees?

I guessed you missed out on all the dogfighting we did out at Chewacla that year you stayed in Huntsville. :)
