As you know, George Burns is considered one of the most old men to ever live. But what makes him any different from Johnny Carson or Paul Newman. Each of them lived huge amount ...[text shortened]... re contradictory. So my conclusion is that you cannot define old, because old does not exist.
Man that is so funny!! Well played.

So, what is evil then? To me, it's when that age-old hag in front of you
decides to pay with small change though she can see you standing there
with only one or two items, in desperate need of a toilet. That's pure and
utter evil: "Let's see. One. One and a quarter. One fifty... Fifty-two fifty, you
say?.. One and three quarters...".

Following this line of thought, pure evil is the guy who makes you wait an hour for the toilet, then it is 'out of order' once he's done.

LOL! Yeah, that's pure evil right there, alright.

Purer evil: For a member of the Chinese family: Pie, to name their
daughter Putang. "Hai, I Putang Pie. Want wolk, yes?"

I think there is evil and good in all people. I heard the following story a while back and it explains the idea quite well:

A grandfather once told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One wolf is called 'Evil'. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is wolf is called 'Good'. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute, and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

His grandfather replied, "The one you feed."

But it's not the emotions themselves that are evil.

Sorrow at a funeral, to use the most obvious example, is not evil. Anger in the face of injustice is not evil.

I once saw a Chinese restuarant called "Yuks"

but what could be more evil than the guy who named his kid "Adolf-Hitler"?

Israel is not evil. Some of the recent actions performed by the Israeli army in Gaza (as well as the Palestinians lobbing missiles into Israel) can be construed as evil, but not the entire country.

Mathematically speaking evil begins mainly if you are black or Hispanic!The majority of evil crimes in the USA are comitted by minorities,not whites.The minority parents do nor beat their children enough to keep them out of gang trouble,like the old days.result?:Evil and crime.Yes,whites too...but whites make up a far less amout of "prisoners"in jail today than minorities(stastically).So evil then logically starts mainly with non whites!

No,Palestine is much more evil than Israel!Muslims are genetically inferior to Jews.Proof?Sure!Jews don't strap bombs to children and women and walk into a cafe and blow up any and all Muslims that do not believe in their religion.Result:missles and tanks being sent over to Palestine.Muslims in general are a much more radical society atleast in the Middle East,shouting and chanting in the streets like the genetic idiots that they are.More proof?Sure!If Palestine existed without any Israel around them anywhere,do you think that there would finally be peace?No f way!The muslim radicals never want peace and simply,like now,would continue to terrorize and kill anyone not into their stupid false Koran.Now ask yourself the opposite.If Israel existed without Palestine around.Would their be peace?Of course there would be!How many Jew terrorists go around forcing their religion on you or blowing themselves up in the name of their jew god?And in Israel,there are of course much more human rights than there is in palestine,especially for women!So,yes,peace would finally occur. If Israel could mass murder everone in palestine(wonderful!)then and only then will their finally be peace!No this isn't a sick thought...why?The palestine radicals want to do the same(but in larger numbers) to the jews,so if there truly would be atleast more peace in that region with Palestine gone(and all their genetically inferior terrorists),then why not let the tanks crush everything in sight?
