Is there a difference between EVIL and MENTALLY ILL? now don't start twisting things, we're chatting murders here not some poor depressed person like my long gone mother who at one stage thought we were going to send her to Russia to be thrown in an oven....it hurts me big time to type that.

To murder someone is an evil thing to do, where has this evil come from? it's always been the thought that Hitler was either a genius or a madman, I'd say a madman who was mentally ill........"put him in a care home, he'll be okay in a few years"

ps, yer don't have to get angry folks, it's a debate really.

Evil was term used by people in the dark ages to describe those were mentally ill. I think that these there is a clear distinction between the two.

For example the bampots that run the BNP could at a stretch be described as evil, if you believe in that sort of thing, but they are not mentally ill.
