I have previously asked for your separate definitions of evil, good, and neutrality, now I would ask you to provide examples of places, people, or things that best describe your definitions.
And, as always, I'm collecting data on you all. :P
Evil: My generation in general.
Good: A computer.
Neutrality: Sweden.
I don't really believe in evil. I believe there be an extreme lack of good qualities in something or someone, but pure evil seems to me to be something found only in fiction.
Evil: No real person, place or thing, but I would say that a person who is ignorant and does not wish to learn is as close as it gets.
Good: Again, no real person, place or thing. Everybody has good and evil inside them, it's their choice about which voice to act on.
Neutral: Switzerland.
Evil: An illusion made by the people of all the things that they fear, hate, loathe or otherwise don't accept. A good scapegoat.
Good: An illusion made by the people of all the things they want to become, an imagined virtue of some sort or called better choice.
Neutrality: An illusion made by the people of all the things that could be considered unbiased, with out any intentions of profit or selfbenefit; e.g. flip a coin or Russian roulette
Evil: People going door-to-door to convert people to their religion.
Good: N/A
Neutral: "If I don't live through this, tell my wife... hello."
Evil: peanut butter cups (they tempt us so, and look what they do to your thighs!)
Good: peanut butter cups (oh, so good *drool* also, peanut butter contains protein, and is therefore healthy)
Neutral: peanut butter cups (it's an inanimate object, and thus incapable of action for good or ill, though it possesses traits in both lines)
I may or may not go back and check what I wrote in your previous questions and give you a straight answer, but don't count on it :P
Good: genetic inheritance
Evil: Mad Cow Disease
Neutral: pi
Good: God
Evil: Satan
Neutrality: Moses
Evil: nobody, because nobody thinks what they do is evil
good: everybody, everyone thinks their values are the right ones.
neutral:Sweds

Are you sure? I mean... Hollywood let Uwe Boll make lots of movies.
Also, they keep making video game based movies. I think those are pretty dang evil.
Why are everybody saying that Sweden is neutral? What about the other Nordic countries?

This is the first I've heard of it as well. Traditionally, Switzerland is neutral (and has everyone's illegal bank accounts, too), but the only things I can think of for Sweden off the top of my head are Ikea and meatballs.
Yeah, what's up with that? I've never heard of Sweeden as the first neutral country that comes to people's minds. They usually say Switzerland.
Actually, the swiss bank accounts have, of late, become much more willing to close down and lock accounts that are involved in illegal activity.
Since the bank gets a big slice of what's in the account, and the govt gets most of the rest, I spose it's only understandable...

Evil: Everyone
Neutrality: Apathy

Yeah, for neutral Nordic countries, I would have figured Denmark (http://www.snopes.com/history/govern/denmark.asp).
Good: Alondro
Evil: Charline
Neutral (aka, stupid): Charles
Nuff said. :3

Sorry. That's a no. The Danes are the hicks of Scandinavia. They're fat beerdrinkers with queer opinions, who hate their immigrants and have porn museums.
The Swedes are brought up because ever since the 1850s we've stayed out of every single war, offered aid to whoever so asks, and most of all prided ourselves on our political correctness and well-to-do image. For example, while in order to win elections in America you have to put on a marvelous public image, in order to win elections in Sweden you have to make sure to cover your back and keep your pockets clean
no matter what. Because the smallest speck of dirt on your person or record will be politically incorrect, and thus suicide. And that's something that hampers the Swedish political system tremendously. But still, it's just an example.
As for me...
Good: Intelligence and idealism
Evil: Stupidity, gullibility and instinctual egoism. In other words, people
Neutral: Carrot cake
Good: Patience, understanding, love, happiness, friends.
Evil: Intolerance, brutality, cruelty, war, abuse.
Neutral: Humanity. And carrot cake.
~Keaton the Black Jackal
Evil: Hitler (Yes, I pulled a Godwin), Bush (senior and junior), brussels sprouts.
Good: Carl Sagan, homemade double strength vanilla ice cream, a cold homebrewn beer on a hot day.
Neutral: My computer, cats, water.
Evil: People who unquestioningly believe that everything that they do is for "the betterment of their people" regardless of any obvious paradoxes in their cause.
Good: people who question things that seem to conflict and seek a resolution to this confliction of beliefs, but only resort to violence when encountering the evils after pointing out paradoxes in the evils' beliefs.
Neutral: people who question everything and thusly get nothing done.

Evil: Starbucks tm
