How do you know its a choice. Maybe its genetically ingrained in someone to be evil. Just look at Dr. Evil and Scott. There’s a philosophical doozy of a question. Is man guilty until proven innocent or vice versa. Ha ha… now my brain hurts.
Good question. Are people predisposed to being evil? In Scott’s case (and yeah, I think about things like this waaaay too much), it’s pretty clear he went evil to please his father, to find a way to be closer to Dr. Evil (though he was way cuter before he went evil…and his evil cackle…ick).
In short, I believe evil is made, not born. But that’s just one person’s opinion.
good question… kinda like the nature vs. nurture question…
I was just having a conversation with sybir about how people are really evil online. I have serious doubts that what people do and say online is what they would do IRL, in-person.
Kinda makes you wonder how we, as the human race, actually survived this long.
I thgink a lot of people get virtual balls, and that enables them to say and do things they wouldn’t in person. Me? Well, what you see is what you get.
Yes. I really am this weird.
And if you think about it, the human race hasn’t been around that long and we’re quickly killing ourselves off. With or without the internet.
Religion already has a term for it. Its called “sins of omission.” I studied this topic in a college course called the theology of good and evil. Basically we concluded that evil is essentially the lack of good, like the air bubbles in a jello mold. Its not there on purpose but the fallible nature of man allows for the possibility of it.
PS – this is the same poster as above that raised the original question.

I do just love the way your mind works!
It’s an important, life-changing decision to become all evil, ya know. Best to be prepared.

tru dat
maybe there is another category of evil… that isn’t about the ‘doing”, but about the “not doing”…

I think there is far too much of a gray area to call anything or anyone entirely “evil” or “good”.
People are people. Some bigger jerks than others at different times than others.
But in the end…what matters is what we choose to do in any given situation.
