What is pure "evil?"
Pure evil is when you do wrong to other people, you know it's wrong, you are proud of the wrong, and you reward yourself for the wrong.

After watching Richard Viguerie on Bill Moyers last night the definition of "pure evil" came to me like a bolt of lightening. To know that people like him who back, Hannity, Rush, FOX, Sinclair,and Clear Channel in the lies that they know are lies and to see them take delight in ruining other people's lives and sending other people's children off to fight and die in an unjust war to protect their wealth is the definition of pure EVIL. May they all rot in hell!

2. Yees you are right but pure evil is also
that black stuff in "Time Bandits" that the supreme being had the children and dwarves pick up. If only it were that simple to distinguish and dispose of....

4. I agree with you completely. I had taken a nap so I could watch the show
When I woke up, the above RV was on. I couldn't believe what came out of his nasty mouth...that he agreed with them...that journalists give their opinions and it's up to us to agree or disagree. By the time I finished watching this show, I wanted hit men! What a shame Moyer's won't be there to further expose the likes of Hannity, Rush, etc. I hope his successor will continue and I hope the show will come on earlier so I can stay awake to see it! But that's too much to ask for right?

Apparently this jackass doesn't KNOW the function of a true journalist...to tell the facts...not give opinions. Opinion writers certainly give their opinions...what makes them experts...I haven't figured out yet. But I like the ones "I" agree with!!! :-)

But I like the FACTS above all else and opinion writers give me food for thought.

5. I think we have to come out hard and protest the media just as we did Bush
We haven't put any pressure on the media. We have lost Rather and Moyers to the pressure exerted by the RW media owners but they haven't really been pressured by us! Stop watching stop buying!

6. Pure Evil = Invading a country and killing its people based on lies = Bush
There's nothing more clear than that since 2000.

8. Evil is selfishness
Evil is not what one suffers, it is what one does.
Suffering is the atonement for evil.
Evil consists of selfishness and things done for selfish reasons which call suffering into the world.

10. In a dualistic reality, everything has its opposite.
Light has no meaning without dark.

Good has no meaning without evil.

Polar opposites, yet two sides of the same coin.
