Have you ever met anyone truly evil?

As the title suggests, have you ever met anyone you believe is quite simply evil? They can, of course, be charming, polite, good company even - but they simply have zero moral fibre behind them.

Or do you like to believe there is some good in everyone, regardless of how difficult it is to find?

Oh Hannibal....*sigh*

I wish I had met someone evil, it'd make a change from all the morons. Evil people don't tend to be quite as retarded as 99% of the British population.

I think so. Evil's obviously a very strong word, but whatever it was she didn't seem to have any sort of moral code or shame.

No, but I seem to have such an intense gut to some people that I'd probably describe them as evil, even though I have never spoken to them.

I don't think I've met anyone who is truly evil. I've never met anyone who is intentionally malicious, either, though of course they have been inclined to unintentional mischief.

Interesting question.

I believed so at one point, yes, but if being evil requires absolutely no good to exist within a person, then I'm not sure. She was very intelligent and interesting to talk to and I thought, at points, that she was a good friend, but later on, I came to see/realize that in nearly all of her actions and conversations, she was trying to gain some sort of leverage. Even when you thought she was helping you, she would subtly be trying to pull you down. I don't know how someone could be constantly planning their next tactical social move the way she did. I know it sounds tame, but how can you constantly be trying to unravel/destroy the people closest to you and be a good person? But then, there were times when she *was* there and despite whatever else she was doing, it helped. She also cared a lot about animals. Would someone truly evil care a lot about anything?

Actually, as I wrote this, someone else came to mind....so I guess my answer is still yes.

My good friend Sam is completely devoid of compassion - but I'd normally describe him as "narcissistic".

its hard to be subjective... school bullies in my eyes were truly evil, at least me me, but i guess they cared for their own friends family.

there was one guy, he broke his mums nose at 11, went to court accused of raping his little sister, and beat up parents of other children outside school (was a beefy lad even in primary school), without provocation.

Yes, I have - superficially charming and attractive, but has absolutely no scruples or moral code. But maybe 'only' 99% evil, I tend to believe most people have a shred of goodness in them, you'd have to dig pretty far though.

I'd like to think so, but I'm sure it's not entirely his fault. Very, very strong adhd, on ritalin and other behavioural drugs since he was a kid. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd been abused.
