Thread: Am I Evil?

Just don't cross over into the darkside Carl.(Sinister Music starts playing) Go to the light Carl.

For me I think the first question is if you believe in a sky daddy or not. I don't so my soul is in no peril and ends justify the means. Saying that also implies that you can live with the resulting fallout of any given action.

I don't see any problem with it, but then my moral compass, fashioned by my upbringing and 20 years of military service, is different than yours. Would I kill in self defense? Yes, I have. Would I kill in defense of others? Again, yes I have. Would I kill preemptorily to stop evil from ocurring? Well , as a Sniper, that,s pretty much my job description. I am actually a very humorous, caring and pleasant individual, but you might read this and the number of things I've done and think to yourself, "Carl, old Darth is just evil. He callously kills those who cross his path." You on the other hand, seem like a very pleasant and charming individual. However, if you wouldn't lift a finger to defend a child who was about to get murdered because you felt it was wrong, then I definitley would think you were evil. I suppose it is all a matter perception. Here is how perception clouds things.

We were somewhere interrogating a suspect who we KNEW was an IED maker/implanter. When questioned under polygraph, and asked if he was a terrorist, he answered no and the needle didn't move. When asked if he had used bombs to murder innocent women and children, he answered no and the needle didn't move. I was called in, looked at the transcripts, and went in. I phrased my questions like this:

Are you an Islamic freedom fighter who committs violent acts in the name of Jihad? Answer was no, but the needle jerked everywhere.

Have you made and emplaced bombs that killed Shia women and children in a crowded marketplace? Answer was no, but the needle was everywhere.

You see, he didn't THINK he was a terrorist. He was a freedom fighter. The people he killed weren't innocent to his warped Sunni Muslem mind, they were American, Shia or Jews. So he had no problem answering our questions because he wasn't a "terrorist" and he didn't kill "innocent" people. Think of it in terms of sex. You and your wife have sex, and have a 69. it is filmed secretly, and the Vatican Police (I use this as an absurd example because technically, sex is only for procreation, so the 69 position would be consuidered a sin to these people) bring you in for questioning. They have you and your spouse on tape, and know they have you dead to rights. They ask you, "are you a sexual deviant?" You are protestant and have no idea why you are there but you know you aren't a pedophile and you don't own a gimp suit, so you say "no." They are flabbergasted so they ask you again, do you ever have sex in abberant and strange positions, like a deviant?" You think to yourself, man, the wackiest thing I've ever done is 69 my wife, so "No." Then they say, any position other than the missionary is illegal in this country and is considered behavior punishable by death. Have you ever had sex in any position other than the missionary position for the express purpose of fathering children? you don't to die so you lie and say "No" but the needle on the polygraph is all over the map, indicating you are lying. So you answered the same question multiplle times, but your perceptions changed your answer.

I was having a little trouble with Darth's answer for a split second, but I realised I also failed the morality test in the above video. I had the fat man over the side without a thought!


Mick

I should have changed it up for Australians. Are you a sexual deviant?

No mate.

Do you have sex with sheep?

I'm from New Zealand so yeah.

Gotcha!

I kid I kid. I don't want any angry kiwis coming after me.

Damn it that reminds me now I've got to get rid of my gimp suit

Okay, just gotta get this outta the way:
