Re: How would you vote?
I don't think Trump is evil. I do think he is a wicked man though.
Hillary is evil.

Is there really a difference between a wicked man and an evil man (or woman)?SpiffCoug wrote:I don't think Trump is evil. I do think he is a wicked man though.

Re: How would you vote?
I think there is. I associate wickedness more with an individual and their behavior. Evil is the affect on other towards detrimental purposes.

Now that's an interesting distinction Spiff. I'd buy you a steak at Outback and chew the fat over that one. I'd just listen and chew on the bloomin' onion.SpiffCoug wrote:I don't think Trump is evil. I do think he is a wicked man though.

Ok. I see where you're coming from. So when we get to heaven and are at the pearly gates, St Peter can say Boise BYU I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is, you're wicked. But the good news is you're not evil! Cheers to all!SpiffCoug wrote:I think there is. I associate wickedness more with an individual and their behavior.

Re: How would you vote?
I'm not trying to put words into Spiff's mouth, but perhaps he is thinking of it something like this...
Before Adolf Hitler rose to power and wreaked genocide he was wicked, because he had those thoughts and impulses inside of him. After he did the acts he was evil.
If so, then I could somewhat understand classifying Trump as wicked more so than evil.
Though someone who is a racist, sexist, rapist, psychological liar, sits up all hours of the nights spewing forth hatred is pretty evil in my book.

I don't know what the difference is. It might be worth the time to look them up. The definitions are not so important as the concepts. This is a wise concept.SpiffCoug wrote:I think there is.

Ddawg, Spiff and whoever else, you don't have to chew the fat, just get Idaho beef and potatoes. They're easy to chew. I'd brave the Utah traffic for that.

Who else is coming the first ever Cougar Corner Outback night? We can all pontificate on politics, BYU football and philosophy. Let's do it next Friday in Orem!

Call it Stalin then, which is actually what someone else suggested to me as a reason to vote for him, because he's like Stalin.SpiffCoug wrote:Except, by invoking Hitler, you automatically lose the argument on the Internet.hawkwing wrote:I'm not trying to put words into Spiff's mouth, but perhaps he is thinking of it something like this...
