I think man as a whole is truly good, But there are many factors that might make it seem like they are not.
...I'll post more when my legs aren't so numb they actually hurt....

The vast majority of people are indifferent to all but themselves and therefore
EVIL BY DEFAULT
Man basically has a good track record in the field of making a good decisionQuote:

Crimes and other things are what often overshadow how man is basically good.
And I sometimes believe that crimes that involve the loss of life happen for a reason to stop overpopulation. Just like the food chain...

if i see brooke post in a thread, i only come to look at the awesome rock she has as a picture :)
but not to troll too much...
i think i can quote John Locke when he said that man was born with a clean slate and potential to grow and such. He was a very optimistic person who also supported a form of Democracy in the 1600's to 1700's time period. i would most likely lean with him.
Also people can quote Hobbes with his quote saying that man is inherently evil and destined to dooming themselves in the long run. Supporting a monarchical government earlier than Locke, he was pessimistic due to previous interactions with bad luck. He was involved in the English Revolution and was in several of the battles where he lost many friends which made him a cold hearted midget....
too bad trolling isnt easy anymore, now i actually gotta say something productive while trying to troll and compliment brooke :)
sorry if i accidently said what someone else already said... i can say that i did not read everything
I can usually control myself, but every once in awhile I have to let human nature take over, else I would go mad. Every mature person is like this, if you study them long enough.Quote:
