Unless you are good 100% of the time, you are a bad person.
Binary religious thinking.

I look at good or bad as a spectrum rather than categorical. To answer your answer, Hillary is ... ok ... for a politician ... I would put her somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, maybe leaning more to the bad side.
Trump, though, is definitely closer to the bad end of the spectrum (where the ideal worst lies) than Hillary is.

I was trying to make a point but you couldn't understand it.
At what point does someone go from good to bad? It's very subjective.

You have to have a point in the first place to make one. You have nothing but word salad.

And Wyrd of Gawd is too stupid to understand we are not a separate species. Having war to gain peace is like fucking for virginity. Anyone who thinks like this should not be trusted with power. While war does happen, it should not be a default or considered an act of diplomacy.
No Wyrd of Gawd, not everyone is a fighter or a legitimate target moron. That is what the Geneva Conventions were about, to say no to the asshole actions of Hitler and Stalin and Imperial Japan. I find it fucking sick that the gung ho assholes rightfully claim the west is better with human rights, and we are, only to say stupid shit like WOG.
War is an unfortunate part of our species, and yes it is hell, but that does not mean blanket solutions are good policy.

Who said we were right for that? My X was Japanese and her grandfather served for Japan. I am talking about now and if we point to things like Saudi Arabia or Iran or North Korea or even China, it makes it hard to claim the moral high ground if we have shit like Abu Grab.
Never claimed the west was perfect at all. We've done some really shitty things.But when you talk about daily life and treatment of minorities we still do a far better job. If I had my way Bush and Cheney would be brought up on charges. But we have to face the fact that a civil war and global conflict might result. Life is messy and sometimes you cant get the bad guy because the bigger picture is global.
