    Maybe you should have added Said Aoiuta to the list and then you could have got somewhere perhaps with the issue of hypocrisy and CL

    It is only in relation to a living entity that something can be good or evil. That doesn't mean it is subjective or grey, which is what the loaded questions on the other posts imply. The context is also important.

    One example will suffice: I like peanuts. They are a source of nutrition for me and are therefore good. To some though they are evil, because they cause an allergic reaction, that can and will kill them.

    This example is a fact that cannot be changed by anyone's feelings(subjectivism). It is therefore objective.

    Based on all that I'll now answer the LOADED questions in the way they deserve.

    1) Good for whimps, turns them into Men.

    2) Insanely evil, made for whimps.

    3)Evil. What do you want to warm up for. Cheetahs don't and they run 7 and 1/2 times faster than whimps.

    4)Evil! who wants to roll around on a ball used to suppress the freedom of No 6, except..........whimps.

    5) Which aspects?

    6)Evil! The whimps need to get bacon butties in them.

    7)Evil! Especially when taking a shower.

    8)Evil! They really do see animals as commodities. Then blame their lack of integrity on the tax-man.

    10)Good! I love Mr Benn. Sounds a bit odd really, but you know what I mean.

    There has to be in-betweens though. Take politics. People's opinions will differ depending on their viewpoint.

    I thought Maggie was a great PM. But it isn't Black / White - she made mistakes - so in shade terms she would be a pale grey.


    I thought Blair was a lousy PM - perhaps even evil so definitely an anthracite at least.

    And then John Major - you only need to check out Spitting Image don't you
