everyone thinks they are nice but ive noticed its all relative. a murder thinks he is a nice guy when he gives his friend a pack of cigarettes. so are people good or evil by nature?

All organizations/clubs have their good/bad points.  Am sure there are good/bad people in the Mafia.  \nYes, the Mafia is alive and probably working for our government under the guise of CIA at this time...lol

of course they are. what normal person would do such a thing as killing other people who they don't even know. they are acting just like the devil would.

I feel that the most evil acts are commited when someone feels they are doing nothing but pure good. Good and Evil, while they exist within us, are drawn amongst a thousand shades of grey. Even the most vilified psychotic (such as charles manson) felt what he was doing was infact "good". I consider myself to be someone who thinks of what is not only good for me, but others as well. In my opinion to be truly good, is to "catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar". To not do what is right just for "myself" but what is ultimately right for others to. Buddha said "if you do not live for others than you do not live" while I am not a religeous person (lol) I do agree with this statement to some extent. I think being good is having the common sence that you cannot commit good acts on the backs of people. Right now George Bush feels what he is doing is good and so does Osama Binladin, but billions of people disagree with both of them. Even if you ask the biggest creep on the planet if they think they are a good person they will say yes. I believe everyone has good in them and the potential to be good people, truly not just subjectively. So I guess what I am saying is their is subjective goodness and Objective goodness. Objective goodness is goodness in truth because you are able to say "how does this make others feel?" and think in the mindset of how people around you will react to the stimuli you feed them. I try to do what I feel is right. Just like anyone else. However am I a good person? I try not to ask myself that question and just be as I am.

They're probably really nice people. You should talk to them directly and find out for yourself.\n\nOh, and never judge people by their appearance. There is a great story of the man who helped a bum across the street. The old man asked for the guy's name and went on his way. Years later the guy received a letter explaining that some millionaire had died and left him everything. Makes you think doesn't it?

I think that being awful or anything else depends individually in each person , not in their ethic group. And thinking that other people think this also depends in yourseft. You can't say that all American are awful, because that is not true. Just like you can't say all immigrants think this because that is also not true.

Illegal schmellegal, there are good people and bad people regardless of status. those people do not what to hurt anybody  but want to make a better life for themselves and family.

It's probably the same as it was when you were in it... people haven't really changed in a long time... there are still the bad guys out there, with the occasional good one mixed in somewhere (problem is, they look the same as everyone else)

Just because you didn't want to kill doesn't mean you're not naturally evil. Killing is not naturally evil either, it depends on circumstances. \n\nWhat if you killed a dog to put it out of it's misery who was hit by a car and had no chance to live? Is that evil?\n\nWhat if a burglar breaks into your house with a knife and you shot and kill him is that evil?\n\nNot wanting to kill someone or something doesn't make you more or less attractive. \n\nJust my 2 cents...

One of the best guys I know used to be a huge stoner and is still known to light one up from time to time but the the guy is one hell of a father and he would never run out on his kids. Every one is different you could have a normal non-smoking nice guy run out on his kids and kill a hooker. You could have a stoner go nutts and kill everyone. I don't agree with what a lot of you people have said you pass judgment when you don't ever know the people. It's the person not the drugs they do or the wrong they have done in the past. Everyone has a few problems or bad habits so none of you can say that the guy would be bad with his kids because of a bad habit. If he is a good guy then he will be a good dad.

Very very tolerant and kind. I have heard this story before but I can't remember where. I believe it was back in school. Not all people need their "good deeds" to be rewarded. Some are kind, just for the sake of being kind.\n\nBut there was something else to this. A deeper lesson or meaning. I'm sorry to say that I can't remember what it was.

It depends, if you're materialistic. Some are miserable or unsatisfied, how can you explain those who are financially successful but in the end are trying to end their lives?Some may say that money is the root of all evil.Case in point, bank robberies and petty thievery.But it depends.Money is also the root of goodness when used for its purpose:ie, charities and donations.As one saying goes:"MONEY CAN BUY A FINE DOG BUT ONLY LOVE CAN WAG ITS TAIL."

You know what, you are unsure of yourself because in our society we consider a person who "tells" as a rat, fink, snitch, etc. We have all of these images of the guy in prison that gets shanked because he talked. Well forget all that crap. It was an informant that lead to Hitler's hideout. Cigarette companies didn't voluntarily say "Hey, these f---ing things will kill you" All those negative connotations have been invented by people who where doing something wrong and don't want it to be found out. I ask you, if some priest was molesting your kid and somebody told you, would you say "You fink, how could you rat out a priest!" or would you say thank you, as you reach for a 357 in order to make that priest truly wholly? You didn't do a damn thing wrong so don't feel bad. They should feel bad for having put you in that sitiation.

Unfortunately, yes.  Good and Evil are human attributes, so an evil person is one of us, as much as we'd like to disown him.

No I dont hate anyone! Because I love everyone! No-I dont think it to be noraml to hate people! But, I do understand that people are so bad to others-it is hard to not get angry with them! I am sad at how bad some people will just even talk to a total stranger! What ever happened to being KIND!? Compassion!? I wish the entire world would just stop and take the time to care about others!! Think about it , one kind deed could change any number of things in a course of a day!! BYE!! BE BLESSED!!
