2. 99.9999% evil

12. Hitler loved his pets
And was very kind to them, or so I've read. He was still an evil, evil man, and the fact that he was kind to animals doesn't change that. But if I had a gun to my head and was forced to name something good about him, that would be the only thing I could come up with.

9. God's love is pure
No man can remove himself from it. Or, it is really difficult to remove yourself from the Grace of God.

10. Not true in all cases...

13. Let's not RUSH to judgement here.
Wherever the younger BUSH may have ROVEd rather than serve in the ARMEY, at least he didn't put people in CHENEys. O'REALLY you say? Not as a young man, only after many years of being RUMMY did he begin his rise in the BFEE. Rather than give a rat's COLIN about the unemployed having CONDI in their Christmas stockings, he prefers to DELAY extending unempoyment benefits. He is the FRIST "president" to invade a sovereign nation without provocation.

19. Of course there is
I think what we call "evil" is just a disease. People in the BFEE are just sociopaths that need intensive treatment in quarantine. It's ironic that those with the greatest access to health care get no treatment for their mental illness.

22. You'd have to believe in the concept of good before you can except that
all people have it. Which is silly because good is relative and therefore not truly one specific thing. How can all be people have "good" if we can't agree on what good is?
An example of realtivity:
"A Lie Becomes Truth Provided It Is Repeated Often Enough" -Hitler

"An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody will see it." – Ghandi

23. Semantics, semantics
your dueling quotes are merely semantics.

Good is an indescribable, yet very real framework by which ethics, morals and mores are built upon. These things can be built upon evil as well, but true good, like the Platonic ideal, is very real.
