a) I don't think you get to define words for us all
1 comments

I must have missed the part where I was hired to define words for humanity.

I was just offering my opinion that there are people on this planet who have caused unspeakable misery not just genocide but industrialised misery. And that throwing around the term evil to apply to a tough and unquestionably unethical businessman devalues it.

Well and in my opinion evil is not boolean attribute but a spectrum so I don't see how it doesn't apply to both?
