Ah yes, that would explain so much, yet so little.
Want to take over the world with me?
Of course you do, we are legion!
TO THE ZEPPELIN!
Whatever the common belief is.
Really, when you think about it, it's very hard to define what evil is.
There really have only been a handful of times in history when a man (or woman) was considered universally evil outside the realm of his followers, Hitler is a prime example.

You are evil if you take pleasure in harming others and making them suffer. But evil is also when you do all that without any reason whatsoever. That's even creepier then normal evil.
Funnily enough you have the flag of Sweden, I suppose, in your avatar. Did you know that back in the day Sweden was reeealy big on eugenics, sterilizing disabled people or even gassing them?airEx said:
Now don't take personal offence, I just think it was a bit ironic.
I think Einstein has the best view of evil.
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."

evil is an opinion people use to justify whatever it is that they're doing.
whether everyone believes it or not, good, bad, great, and evil are all just opinions and quite often not all people believe in that opinion, and even if every organism beleives in that opinion, it's still just an opinion.

For no better reason than you enjoy doing it. I see nothing wrong in inflicting harm on others if it's in self-defence or defence of others, but if they did nothing to deserve it and it's just because you wanted to... then yeah, I'd say that's an evil act.Dark Templar said:
