In Response To: Re: So, we need a topic...Lets try this? (Phil)
: What happens if a sadist [presumably a bad thing]
: tortures [presumably a bad thing] a machoist?
: Being a sadist is not, in and of itself, a bad thing.
: It's simply a thing. Much like being angry is neither
: good nor bad. (Is anger at an injustice a bad thing?)
: It's what one does with anger, or what one does as a
: sadist, that is either good or bad.
Not really. Sadists -enjoy- inflicting pain. I would say that can be -generally- considered a bad thing.
That's the thing that bothers me about people who like being very open-minded on this...Some things, by being what they -are-, may be bad, period.
: Torture, whether inflicted by a sadist or anyone else, is
: always a bad thing, as torture by its definition is
: dependent on anguish, agony, and suffering. Not merely
: pain. If a masochist is enjoying him or herself then
: it's not really torture, though it may resemble it.
: -Phil.
