A Conversation for The Temple of Existentialism
Is there such thing as a purely good action, or a purely evil one?

Surely if what Noggin says is true, then this conversation is redundant?

If......
On the other hand if you read what I said it was that there is no pure good or evil NOT attached to a person or action. So in theory there could be a purely good or evil ACTION, which is what this thread is asking.

Which brings us round in a circle. Hmm....

...or a square...

Now see, there's the thing, a square can be drawn in one continuous line, thus making it technically a circle, but beacause it's bent everone says "ah, four lines". It's plain ridiculous!

And I thought squaring the circle was supposed to be impossible!
Still, in a universe where even empty space is bent I suppose anything goes.

*is mulling over past postings*
would that mean that we could pop into Sainsbury's and buy 'essence of evil' for our cooking<?>

You would be able to get it from Sainsbury's 
whereas from Tesco's it would be the essence of good

Congratulations on your elevation to ACEdom.
I understand that at present you cannot get essence of good at Tesco's due to a problem with the suppliers. It's also been banned from use in the Directors' canteen as it has been found to interfere with the formulation of company policy.

Thank'e
I forgot Essence of good can't be mass-produced and home remedies have to be sold in shops with no TNC affiliation

I think there's a little shop round the corner of Neverland that sells them both.

Do you like any decent musicians? Do you know, she even was horrible about the frankly divine Chad Kroeger. (
,I'm a little obsessed!)

Existential Elevator Posted Sep 3, 2002
As for Chad- I like his hair. And he has a good rock kind of voice.
Eminem can go 
himself. I'm but I really hate him. And I very rarely actually *hate* people irrationally.
I like lots of musicians....BDB, for example...and Hendrix...And the Sex Pistols...and Catatonia.....I just don't like modern pop.
