sorry if this is already a topic.
Okay. The question presented here is "what is the nature of man?", which basically means...do you think that all mankind is mostly evil or good? Also, are you born good/bad or do your surroundings mold who you are? good luck with this one

Good and evil are completely subjective. End of story.

QUOTE(sheridan_whiteside @ Sep 17 2005, 10:30 PM) Good and evil are completely subjective. End of story.  true, but in the same sense you're also saying that evil is a kind of pseudo-problem or something that has no solution. so then if we cannot battle evil since it's all in our perceived thoughts and not something factual or tangible, what is the purpose of overcoming evil? what is the purpose of valuing good? anyway, the whole point of this debate is to prove that one's subjective views on the nature of man is right, or at least better than others'. thus, the story goes on. |

There can be a point where one person can admit that the other person's views make more sense. Sure, it doesn't happen much here in the debate forum, because most people are busier trying to "prove" how smart they are and would never stoop so low as to admit they might have erred in their thinking, but in theory, a debate could potentially come to an end at some point. |
