Does a falling tree make a sound if no one hears it? However, without humans religion would not exist.

Interesting post you quoted which claimed that I am blinkered about what Hamas is about, and what it does. Somewhat surprising to myself given I don't recall making any declaration of what Hamas is about, and what it does, other than being the resistance to israeli illegal occupation and oppression.

Biden looks weaker by the day as the israelis ignore whatever he says. I saw him on tv trying to put together some relevant words on the conflict, but all he managed was confusing and barely comprehensible. He is looking very old and out of his depth recently, IMO.

I didn't say what I would have done, and I DID ask YOU, what YOU would have done ( and apparently you would have just complied with whatever the israelis told you to do ), but keep making it up about what I would do. Making it up is all you have about me as you know sod all about me.

I didn't expect answers as there probably are none. I sought opinions and some interesting theories. I expected some of the usual non sense posts, but I hoped for some gold amongst the dross. To the few that did contribute something worthwhile I give thanks, but as the thread seems to be heading in the wrong direction, I'll ask a mod to close it.

I wasn't asking about animals. Humans have free will and choice. Choosing to do evil things makes those that do them evil.

Obviously.

I normally only add those that personally insult me, so for now I can't grant your wish.

I was asking the question to find out what you thought about evil in humans.

You think Hitler was just trying to survive? I have to leave the forum now, but I look forward to reading some constructive posts on the subject. If it degenerates into the usual fatuous comments I'll ask for the thread to be closed.

You could have just answered the question.

If anyone doubts that humans can be utterly evil, just look at Gaza, Sudan, Mali, Rawanda ( when the genocide happened ), the Congo, any episode of colonisation. Not forgetting Stalin and the Bolsheviks, Mao and the Cultural Revolution, Idi Amin, Ghengis Khan and his mountains of heads, etc etc etc. The history of human kind is soaked in the blood of countless billions.

IMO all humans are capable of evil, given the relevant circumstances. No one was born evil, but many became evil.

If you don't want to answer the question why did you waste my time reading that fatuous post?

Women and Thailand expert discusses the misconceptions about Thai women. Two points about that. No man knows more than sod all about women, and visa versa. No farang is a Thailand expert. Any man claiming different is IMO fooling themselves.

I know a lot of you don't believe in God, but seems like our species has enough evil in it for a whole mob of devils. My question is: Do you believe in the Devil ( Satan ), and if you don't why are humans so evil?

PS. I forgot about The Falcons which were a band playing upstairs off Courtney Place. They played covers, but were pretty good. I spent many a happy hour up there on a weekend.

Hated Split Enz, and every cover artist on Let's Go or whatever it was called with Peter Sinclair. Alison Durbin makes me nauseous. I did like Peter Posa and The Hamilton County Bluegrass band though. Meanwhile over the ditch they had the wonderful Seekers with the magnificent voice of Judith Durham, and many others ( some of which may have been Kiwis escaping NZ to actually be able to earn a few bob ).

Ignore only applies to individual posters. It wouldn't stop me seeing a link you posted, but you didn't post a link, did you?

We don't know what the israelis really plan for "after", so let's wait and see on that. BTW, 6,000 bombs was weeks ago and they've dropped lots more than that since, but I haven't seen a published number.

That hasn't been proven, and after so long it's almost certainly made up. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/unverified-allegations-beheaded-babies-israel-hamas-war-inflame-social-rcna119902 A series of shocking reports have spread horrific claims of baby beheadings by Hamas militants across social and mainstream media in recent days, adding a particularly incendiary element to an already violent and bitter war. But the reports are still unconfirmed, and in some cases have been retracted. Biden lied. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/unverified-allegations-beheaded-babies-israel-hamas-war-inflame-social-rcna119902 The most high-profile claim came Wednesday night when President Joe Biden said that he had seen photographic evidence of terrorists beheading children. The White House later clarified that Biden was referring to news reports about beheadings, which have not included or referred to photographic evidence.

If YOU were a Palestinian under illegal occupation and daily humiliation, would YOU accept it, or want to fight back any way YOU could?

I don't need to go on here to know what is going on, and I don't need to read any news media linked to western governments to know they are biased. BTW, you made the claim so it's up to you to prove it or I can make my own conclusions as to the truth.

Gee, those Al Jazeera censors must be the most incompetent censors on the planet! I'll add some so you don't have to. saying there is no fuel, but showing cars driving to the south, saying no fuel, but showing fire hoses being operated putting out fires caused by israeli bombs, no fuel for machinery, but a digger removing rubble of a building blown up by the israelis to find buried bodies. Sure, some shots better deleted to prove one sides' view. Why they were left in I don't know. What I do believe is that israel dropped over 6,000 bombs on a defenseless people, because the israelis said they did. Over 6,000 bombs is killing a lot of defenseless people. Whether it's 5,000 children or 500 children dead it's too many. Otherwise, I believe what netanyahu says, and it's monstrous.

To know that you must be able to speak Arabic, as they ain't speaking in English. Do you speak Arabic? I've watched a lot of Al Jazeera recently, but haven't seen any of what you say. If they do censor what they show, why wouldn't they just cut out those bits?
