Evil

[jahcs]

He is not a member of the nazi party;he is the leader of an extreme rightist party,which is rather different.His party is nationalist,but it doesn't encourage the people to do illegal acts against foreign people.If he had been a member of a nazi party,trust me that this party would have been illegal and it would have quickly ended up.
Concerning his statements about nazism/Hitler:all extreme rightist leaders of Europe have sympathies for fascism because fascism fits  their ideas,that is getting rid of foreign people by any means...[right][snapback]60695[/snapback][/right]

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... There are many species of duck btw.

His party is nationalist,but it doesn't encourage the people to do illegal acts against foreign people.

When Hitler was sliding into power he didn't tell people to burn the Jews in ovens, at least not right away. Don't ever forget history, even if it is painfull or shamefull. If we don't learn from it we are doomed to repeat it.

edit: yikes, I have alowed myself to be drawn off topic.

Hmm, back on topic. Evil. yes I would say yes, it does exist.
Can it be measured?
Is it alive? It can lie dormant for years, even decades, it is contagious, it can spread from one person to another.
Can I see it? I can see the effects of it.

These types of topics, especially on internet forums either get derailed into heated arguments about countries and history or we get all wrapped up in somantics. Issues like this are measured on an emotional level using our personal perceptions of the world around us.
My mother has a spice jar on her stove that says "Love." Using the scientific method that jar is always empty but just thinking about it now fills me with something that can't be measured or placed in a jar. Is it any less real?
