2. I left this out purposely because it is an asinine red herring and is irrelevant.


3. Plenty have been mentioned in this thread. You have chosen the position that a person can only be bad if they tell someone about the thoughts that make them a bad person. Others knowing a person is bad is not a requirement for a person to be bad.

1. And I'm saying you're wrong. Merely a thought going through someone's head does not make them a bad person in our society. Their action(s) on those thoughts do.

2. It is not asinine, irrelevant, or a red herring. My initial response was in reply to folks talking about folks in prison. So bringing up laws is 100% relevant. I fully understand why you left it out, but it was not motivated by benevolence. 

3. Do you want to reword that to make sense? I've said a person can only be bad if they action on their bad thoughts. No one has given me an example on how someone's thoughts only make them a bad person and there's a very good reason why no one has/can.
