this is kinda a self fulfilling prophecy.

how do you define a "bad person", is it someone who does things that are "morally wrong".

If you're doing things morally wrong, it is morally wrong.

What makes something morally wrong? Well that's another topic altogether

Its actually quite cut and dry. Something morally wrong is when you actively hurt or take actions that will hurt people physically, mentally, or their reputation while only being self-interested and having little to no desire to increase the overall happiness of your community

that's your definition of morality. There are many other definitions of morality. so it's not "quite cut and dry".

No there is a definite version of morality and anyone who's not a nutcase would tell you the same. The only time people truly try to prop up morality as being "mysterious" is when someone does something wrong intentionally, but doesnt want to be in trouble for it

nope, you're wrong. There is no definite version of morality, and pointing that out does not make one a "nutcase".

And btw, what "trouble" could I get into by saying morality doesn't have a clear cut definition on an internet message board?

I feel like morality is black and white.

Whats grey is intention and motivation.

Killing a guy just because is morally wrong. I cant think of any culture that disagrees.

Killing a guy because he raped your daughter? Thats when whats morally right and wrong becomes questionable. When intent and motivation is involved.

Yes and no
Yes in the sense of the bad person in this scenario does bad things like hurt others
No in the sense of the bad person is just bad at being a person or functions poorly.
However, it might just be the bad persons actions are immoral but they themselves are "good" at being a person whereas the other bad person might do good deeds but is ultimately bad at personing

Eh... you got me beat. I would consider killing animals for no reason as morally wrong. Some people dont care if you kill animals and some dont care about insects etc.

I retract my statement. Morality is always grey.

What about stuff that is good for you but may be bad for many indirectly? Such as being an oil man
