<Snipped quote by The Harbinger of Ferocity>

I disagree. People can never be monsters. Whatever they do their actions are the actions of a person. To dismiss them as monsters is to not only dismiss a facet of human nature just because we find it uncomfortable to examine and try to understand, but also helps to absolves them of culpability for what they've done by turning them into something more on the level of an animal.

I disagree on the basis that humans are simply a level of animal that have deluded themselves into civilization.

People are monsters. How much they try to excuse themselves otherwise depends on the individual, but we have all hurt and done damage without noticing or caring many a time.

But to go further into that would be to simply say, new topic.
