    Yes, heaven forbid I expect people to know a concept before they try to argue against it.

    THAT would be grey at best, because while he did benefit people, he used immoral means to go about doing so, though some humanists I know would insist that it's evil.

    So you don't think that a moral code which upholds human rights for the good of humanity is a good idea? Ah, I see. The "everything is grey" must be justification and a form of blinders so you feel comfortable when you commit a bad act.

    Ah, well. Y'know. It might not be such a bad idea if I didn't think a majority of the human race shouldn't have rights. But hey, excuse me while I finish my sandwich and go commit a "bad act". The neighbor's poodle will be a good start. Ciao.

    Nothing like an edit monkey who doesn't use edit notification. :p

    Oh please, asking you to understand a concept before you argue against it is hardly an unrealistic demand.

    And you should?

    [Edit] Wait. You said that you being raped would be bad... so... um... why is this same stance not extended to the rest of humanity? [/Edit]

    Willful destruction of someone else's property, eh?
