A government should rule with an iron fist. Those who like to hide under the laws that protect them shall be purged...Anyone who agrees that Burning National Flags is and should be illegal press 1
2 means you're an idiot that doesn't know how to press "1" yet
...so shall ye learn your poor child...

Sorting through the actual loons and the people who do it for a joke is such tiring work, could you at least either go much further so we know your spoofing, or seem more rational if this is actually your belief.

People are predominantly egocentric as opposed to altruistic, yes. That makes sense in it's own way. However people are neither inherently good, nor evil. Especially given the relative nature of those terms.

I'm sorry, but I have to correct your misconception. Good and evil are absolutes, not relative. People are good, but fall to evil through the temptation of Satan.

Moral relavitism is the second greatest trick Satan has pulled on mankind, the first being his amazingly successful ability to convince folks he doesn't exist.

Perhaps. I'm atheist, so in lieu of God or Devil, I tend to view good and evil as man-made concepts like north and south; defined by being similar to, or the opposite of, our morals.
