    This is a cool thread.

    I think it is just our nature, the way we ended up being programmed. The ego, civilization, or the unconcious, we just don't care about others by nature. This ties into the question of can we ever solve humanities proablems? Proabably not, look at America we have all our basic needs met but still can't come anywhere close to a perfect society

    The root of all evil was the evolution of the ability to tell the difference. Up to that point in time all else was just the mindless struggle to survive.

    Ok. I thought it was God anyway. Without evil, how would video games exist? Then again, I would probably have a lot more pleasure without evil... sacrifice the imaginary games for a perma-gasm.... unfortunately I am not allowed to have either.

    Little girl what's your game?
    Hard luck and trouble
    Bound to be your claim to fame

    Tail-shakin' heart-breakin' truckin' through town
    Each and every country-mother's son, hangin' 'round
    Drive a young man insane
    Evil that's your name

    Lucretia MacEvil
    That's the thing you're doin' fine
    Back seat Delilah
    Got your six-foot jug o'wine, woman

    I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
    Nothin' that your daddy wouldn't do for kicks
    Never done a thing worth-while
    You're just an evil woman-child.

    (spoken) ooh, Lucy, you just so damn bad

    (Instrumental Interlude)

    (Bridge) Devil got you lucy
    Under lock and key
    Ain't about to set you free
    Sign sealed and witnessed
    Since the day you were born
    No use tryin' to fake him out
    No use tryin' to make him out
    Soon, he'll be takin' out his due
    What-cha gonna do?

    Lucy MacEvil
    Honey ya been all night?
    Your hair's all messed up, babe
    An' the clothes you're wearin'
    Just don't fit ya right
    Big Daddy Joe's, payin' your monthly rent
    Tells his wife he can't imagine where the money went
    Dressin' you up in style, evil woman-child.

    Humans are the root of all evil. Humans created all of the other evils like money and religion.
