I'm not fully sure but I think people are not born evil or are always 100% evil but I dont know a whole lot of people. What do you guys think?
Do you think a person can be truly evil?

I've met my dad, so yes I think people can be evil. I don't know that he was born that way or his upbringing made him such, but I know he's a heartless bastard that doesn't care one bit about anyone other than himself. He tried to make me kill a puppy when I was 13 to "teach me a lesson." WTF?! People who want people to kill animals = EVIL. YMMV.

No, I don't. There is no evil or good, there just *is*. Basic human nature without all of the trappings of society is not a pretty thing.
07/25/2012
Absolutely. I think some are born that way, but most are made.
07/25/2012
oh, you bet!!! - that's what psychopaths are all about!!!

As Kira said, I've met my mother -- she is pure evil. She is the most despicable person I have ever encountered. She is very into only herself and doesn't care about other's around her. If it doesn't help her, she doesn't do it. She has done some pretty cruel things that I don't express in this post because it is very graphic, but believe me, and don't take this the wrong way -- she should have never been put on this earth. I wouldn't have been born, but it would be for the best for her not to not be around. I don't even have contact with her anymore because she is so evil.
People are definitely be evil.
People are definitely be evil.

Wow, that is a complicated question. I don't think there is a clear cut answer, it just massively depends on what you define as evil. I personally believe strongly in "right and wrong" but not absolutely pure evil. Of course I also don't pretend to know everything either, so I admit I may be totally wrong.
I think that "made evil" people have a reason in their own head that they do depraved and cruel things. Whether they do them because they are misguided enough that they actually think they are doing the right thing or they are severely warped and in pain and spreading that pain and cruelty is the only escape they have.
As far as people born evil, most people are thinking of psychopaths. There is so much fear and misinformation about them. A psychopath is simply someone due to some brain malformation doesn't experience higher level human emotions. They are no more evil than any other animal and 99% of psychopaths go about their lives doing no more evil things than every other "normal" person. They aren't motivated to do "evil" things because they don't have the emotions that urge them to do so. In most cases they rely on logic, and evil just isn't logical most of the time. They are simply how they are born, and I feel they deserve pity more than our fear. After all, none of them will ever feel the incredible joy and and love I can feel every day.
Don't get me wrong, there are really fucked up people out there. And when a psychopath with stunted emotions gets combined with a warped personality and or violent tendancies you get some pretty evil stuff. I'm just saying I don't believe that there is never another side to things, and I have a hard time accepting anything can be absolutely evil.

Sometimes I can be pure evil. It depends on how I feel at the moment. I would never kill anyone though (not that kind of evil) But I have a little bit of OCD so I am controlling my boyfriend just does stuff that I don't agree with and he needs a spanking and it brings me joy.
07/25/2012
Oh yes, I believe that anyone who kills for anything other than self defense is evil (with the exception of an accident). Like the recent events with the Colorado shooting, that prick is EVIL. I can't stand to hear about him or see his face on TV or my facebook newsfeed anymore. The sight of him just pisses me off. It takes an evil person to do that. Not only did 12 die, but one was a 6 year old little girl! Who kills a child like that?! Only an evil person.

Sadly I do believe some people are evil.

I don't think that people are evil; I think that they are sick, but that isn't an excuse.

I have met/ known some truly evil people. For example my husband ex-wife is just down right evil. She hurts people for her own amusement and she thinks it's funny to be so cruel. Her oldest daughter is the same way. My mother-in-law has said that she knows when her granddaughter is lying because her mouth is moving and she has told her granddaughter to her face that she doesn't like her when she starts talking like her mother. His ex kicked her own daughter out when she was 17 because she said she couldn't deal with her anymore and tried to put her with me and my husband, then made the mistake of putting the child on the phone with me. The child told me that her mother was hoping and requesting that the child would break up our marriage and destroy my daughter. I told her mother that I was not going to allow anyone to come into my home just so that they could destroy it. The ex-wife was pissed and tried to cuss me out, I just hung up on her and refused to take any of her calls. She ended up sending her child to her sister-in-laws home. She created a monster that is just like her.

My oldest daughters father is evil too along with his mother. Almost 17 years ago the two of them tried to have me committed to a hospital for the insane after trying to push me to a nervous breakdown while trying to kill my youngest daughter by refusing to give her, her medication, refusing to thicken her food (which was medically necessary) then giving her water to make her throw up. She lost 8 lbs is a weeks time and she was already small because she was born at 32 weeks.
Evil comes in all shapes and sizes. Just like a poisonous flower or a deadly creature they can be beautiful as well as deceiving.

I think so, yeah. Sometimes there's just something horribly wrong with a person deep down and they just can't seem to be normal, good human beings.

One in 25 people is sociopathic, according to a statistic I read in a book once. I think it's just something that goes wrong with the brain. And then certain upbringings can make it worse and make a person actually 'evil'.
07/26/2012
I agree with the sociopathic comment.
07/26/2012
Yep, although it's a tiny section of the population
