You're grayhaze, as said by your username. Or, if you prefer, Kevin Purcell.

Who is a witch? Are you a witch? You always can tell time and know when the weather changes. You drive a hourseless carage... You fly in shiny wooden boxes and disapper into the sky.

Then you claim the Earth is round. Blasphemer!!!

I know this now. Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing yet they give their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. And then it is gone. But to sacrifice what you are and live without belief, that's more terrible than dying.

-Joan of Arc

Yes, 'good' having a 'conscience' and evil not having one at all...

Or the "sociopath" whom can feel compassion and self-pity for himself but none for his fellow men and would easily 'bash the brains in' of his enemy without even contemplating his 'enemy's' wife and family and children.

Hence, our psychopaths borne without compassion ore empathy or good... "emotional, empathic ignorance" can be just as much a stigma upon one's soul as intellectual ignorance...

Sad, but true.

And again the question raises what is good, and what it evil?
A terrorist, I am sure all of you think his is evil not?

one mans terrorist is a ohter man's freedomfighter.

It's all a matter of perspective. Hitler believed he was "good" and justified in what he did. Churchill believed he was "good" and justified in what he did. Both are of course extreme examples. Matter of perspective. Old Crab will now go to the only real good place on this earth - The Fantasyland Thread.

Random thoughts on a wednesday morning, whilst looking down on Terra Barbaria from my space station:

1. context is everything (had to say it)
2. don't judge the past by today's standards (and continuing that thought: don't judge other cultures based on your own)
3. good and evil are social constructs, what is "good" to group A at point B in space and time may be considered as "evil" by group C in space/time location D
4. people who need such social constructs in order to survive in this world are cannot take things as they are. They should expand their view perhaps

Ah hell, listen to Paxmaster and Mr Plurality.

It's not your heart telling you, Dor, it's your conscience. And you conscience was learned when you grew up.
Were you born an ancient Greek aristocrat, for example, you'd have a few slaves serving you, and feel no guilt about it.

Only for those that one considers to be his peers. Back in the days, people would considered slaves to be "beasts", not human, so it was okay to mistreat them (or so they thought).

It is evil for the one who suffers paxx, not for the instigator..

The worker, if his needs are not fulfilled, decides that the management is evil and strikes work. For him the strike is good.

But if the same worker is a shareholder in another company, which experiences a strike and (obviously) the share prices fall, he decides that the strike is evil..

kids are evil, my wife is out of town and my daughter actually expects me to feed her!

.... bbl, food, and she wants to learn how to throw a left cross, jab and some basic snap kicks

as she states, she is my girly-girl-tomboy aka Runt ! She popped a boy in the face for grabbing her butt in the lunch line last week, school called and I laughed and laughed and they hung up...

She really doesn't have a chance with the dresses and such yet, all the kids near us are boys two and three years older than her and she had to let them know she is as tough if not tougher than some so they wouldn't ignore her

I've heard the boys at different after school functions when she dresses up and I do her hair for her, a mother will say oh isn't Shelby so pretty, ah mom, she is not, thats Runt.. YUCK, Runt ain't pretty shes one of the guys.... in total disgust

oh, once when she was out front playing with a couple of the boys, I heard this un-natural screeching and crying, I ran outside thinking one of the boys had or was hurting her, she had the kid from next door, who was visiting from New York at his Grandparents, with him face down pushing his full face into the dirt telling him "Take it back" guess he said she should act like a girl and go find some to play with...

now thats evil

I know opinions and cultural differences can be one of the ways Good and Evil is decided, but what I am saying is what if it is not something to be decided on. It is what it is. Culture A at location B considers it good while culture C at location D considers it bad... but what is it really?

Some people who were slaves (very few) were treated very well and in some societies were considered humans (they was just born to be in thier socail position).

What I think is good or bad in someways only means I have 50% of a chance that I am right. The turth will always be the truth. Gravity will always be gravity whether we feel it is or not.
