Jewish Defence league. Are they really that dumb?

I also like Nontroversy.

This definitely qualifies, but still fun to discuss.

Such great points, both.

Do you have to be a sane person to acknowledge, even in your own head, that you are making a conscious choice to do something bad or wrong? I don't believe so. I think anyone is capable of discerning that, even the vilest human. Might not stop them, but I think they are able to own it, then justify it. I agree that it is an oversimplification to say that evil doers don't know that they are.

Also agree that there are truly horrific things done (every day) with steadfast belief that it is for the greater good.
