    The complaints about you are rising... learn how to be civil, or you will get restricted.

    And yes... there are enough of the commie vs capitalists threads... there is no need to threadjack another one just to continue the same lame and stale arguments.
    Keep on Civin'

      So only the acts of a sociopath can be considered fully evil by everyone? I might agree but then, ius the sociopath's choice a valid one?

      As for a "dmeocratic" process, by what right does that have to categorize anything?

        OFF TOPIC-SAVA DON'T READ.
        You need to stop being a dumbass. I used to like you but you are quickly gaining a position on my **** list. There's a difference between a lame, disruptive thread-jack, and minor small talk. And you should respect the thread-starter's wishes if he tells you to stop. As much as I threadjack and troll, the second the thread-starter instructs me to stop, I listen. You appear to be acting very disrespectful.

          Is it humid in Cali as well? I could stand 100+ temps if it were dry. I loved it in Albequrque when it was 103 with like 12% humidity.
          The humidity is in the 20s, not that bad. The thing is it's very warm in the morning and at night during July and August. It's still in the 90s at around 8 or 9. You really shouldn't be outside much. The air is very bad. The heat transforms the polution into a more harmfull poison.

              Thanks Vel...

              Kid: Your comment on pollution reminded me of another kind of evil. Industry that knowingly damages the environment is quite evil. They know their acts are damaging to people, as well as animals and plant life, yet because they aren't willing to bear the added expense of cleaning up, they continue to pollute our air, water, and soil.

                OT on the ol' OT

                Yeah, the Valley is a funnel for all the smog coming from LA, and it stops right up agains the Sierra Nevadas, on top of Fresno... So, the air quality suks, it is hot and dry however... Though last year there were several thunderstorms, but that was weird.

                Kid: I think Sava is just mad that you are doing the exact same thing he does to every other thread

                ---

                What Hitler did was evil, no doubt, but I wouldn't say it was universally evil unless Hitler himself knew what he was doing was wrong (which he probably did)... My point is that the only real, a.k.a. 'universal' evil is to betray yourself, everything else can be subjective... For example, not only did Hitler but many other Germans, Polls, Austrians, etc. also committed the same acts and may not have felt it wrong. It was only the outsiders that could see the evil...

                  "Was Hitler evil"?

                  Ok, by what criteria do we answer that question?

                  To answer that qwuestion, you need some code by which you can judge an action (or set of actions) as "good" or "evil". Once you have said code, you can certainly answer the question. But if one wants to know whether HIlter is "uiniversally evil", "absolutey evil", then you have to prove that the moral code you used to answer the question is absolute and universal.

                  By the set of moral codes and traditions of Europe and Germany in 1933, when Hitler took power, was Hitler evil? Yes, yes he was. BY the moral codes of today, was Hitler evil? Yes, yes he was. Are any of the codes in which is would not be declared evil still in practice? No, they are not. So hitler remains evil.

                    I say really? I highly doubt that our system is ****ed up. You are the one with that type of system. We have the one that works.

                    But as Ming said, carry on with the topic...

                    Now further response from me...

                    I believe in good and evil, but I do believe good is a more powerful force in this world than evil. Perhaps because I am optimistic. Hitler was evil then, and if he was alive today, would be evil now.

                      Is there a time he wouldn't be evil?

                        He always will be evil. I don't care when... sorry that my sentence was a bit ambigious.

                          There are so many cultural differences regarding what is Acceptable.............Is Humanity going to Hell? It depends who you ask..........Christian fundamentalists say yes......The Indian Tribe in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon no.....The buddhist monk maybe....The same problems keep popping up over & over so my Personal View is Probably

                            If we really look at it, humanity has gone to hell a long time ago... perhaps a thousand years ago...

                                I kinda hope not. Well we probably get the technology to leave this earth and go mess up another.
