Re: Define evil, if you can. n/t

<Main Entry: 2evil
Function: noun
Date: before 12th century
1 a : the fact of suffering, misfortune, and wrongdoing b : a cosmic evil force
2 : something that brings sorrow, distress, or calamity

Twisted minds can argue the definition with reasonable persons but most of us know evil when we see it.

Was Hitler evil? Yes, he was. Was Clinton evil? Certainly not. Evil requires deeds that unequivocally cross the line of natural law (slavery, the holocaust, 9-11, mass murder, gassing villages). Your perception of GWB's motivation does not cross that line.

If you want to call Israel/Sharon evil for their deeds, we can disagree on that. To refer to GWB as evil when he has not been proven to commit an evil deed, is not evil but it is quite dumb.

I am sure you will disagree but that is because you are nuts. You are blowing in the wind and I am on the inside looking out at you with some amusement.
