Do you believe that Evil exists as a real force ?

[old.Tohtori]

unless its you yourself thats doing the "evil" part, and i bet u'd have a reasonable explanation for it thats 100% logic from your point of view...

Quite interesting really. If i pointed at myself, while doing something "evil" and said; "yes, i'm doing this just because i'm evil". Would it then be "real" evil?

About cannibalists, and showing them "the light" as mentioned above, well, it was some other light, not necessarily the right one again.

Eating humans is just another moral setting, it's not really evil evil.

You do BAD things for good causes, or causes you think are good, but when you do things purely to harm with no motive/agenda/reason at all, i think that's evil.

Which would be rather hard, as even if you just did it to be evil, it would be to enforce your own evil.

For example, for me the greatest symbol of "Good" I can think of is the Union Jack. Every time I see it I cant help but smile - always makes me feel really good, proud and patroitic, I have a full size one on my bedroom wall

Made me laugh I think that is a pile of bollocks, but it does it for you.

PS Hawkwind how come no posts about Iran anymore? The latest report taken a bit of wind out of your sails?

Nope been working in France mostly, not kept up with it all. Tend to read and see more news when in Dubai. Plus sorting out new job offers in US and Dubai. Dubai looking better right now due to the benefits etc.

If this is what you meant:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is to discuss with Arab nations a plan to enrich uranium outside the region in a neutral country such as Switzerland. from bbc.

Then thank god he's finally seen the light and avoided a complete disaster in the making. Way too late imo but the right decision. This is afterall close to what the Europeans were offering several months ago and he flatly refused stating Iran would do it alone regardless.

Still think he's a complete nutter though!

Evil doesn't exist in a form, it is just a description for an act that is commited, people who are described as a "evil" believe what they do to be right/just. In my opinon evil is just a word.

Forexample, Foucault (1977: 3) provides an account of a public execution reserved for the greatest crimes under the French ancien regime, regicide:

"The flesh will be torn from the breasts, arms, thighs and calves with red-hot pincers, his right hand, holding the knife with which he commited the said parricide, burnt with sulphur, and, on those places where the flesh will be torn away, poured molten lead, boiling oil, burning resin, wax and sulphur melted together and then his body drawn and quartered by four horses and his limbs and body consumed by fire."

Ouch, definitely worse than being hung drawn and quatered.
