um, where else would they get their sense of right and wrong from but the people they first grow up around?
Clearly you missed my point. My point is this: newborn babies don't have a sense of right and wrong; this sense comes from upbringing. Throw a newborn baby into the wilderness, and I bet he won't grow up with the same sense of good and evil you and I have.
i never said everything was black and white.
Interesting. I read that your tone is in disagreement with me. In my opinion, there's always grey somewhere. Always.
in the particular instance, we were talking about that elf book where the guy killed a bunch of people out of a racist attitude to restore some high council.
I intended to mean in general.
okay, no offense but your type of logic in this statement makes no sense whatsoever. the man tortured and killed MILLIONS OF PEOPLE! does that mean NOTHING to you? what more do you want? a page from his diary that says "hey, i've killed millions of people in my life, and you know what? i enjoyed it!"? would that validate his evilness to you?
you don't have to know someone personally to know what type of person they are.
What I mean is -- no, maybe Stalin was not completely black. Somewhere in all that slaughter, I bet he must've spared an insect or two. *laughs*
