What makes a "good" person and what makes a "bad" person?? (29)
Unfortunately, we are all human, so we all have our good and bad stuff about us.
I think someone that is too judgemental is a bit hard to handle.
someone that is gentlehearted makes that person awesome!

A good person makes mistakes but learns from those mistakes and tries not to diplicate them in the future.
A good person causes other people pain but feels honest remorse and sadness from doing so.
A good person loves himself but doesn't put that in the way of loving others.
A bad person makes mistakes and may learn from them but will continue making them if it benefits him.
A bad person causes pain and feels no remorse.
A bad person loves himself...only.

A person whom I would call a friend or more would respect others and take responsibilty for their own actions. A calm, level-headed and positive person who sees people for who they are and not what they do or look like. One must love themselves first before they can be a true friend to anyone. 
A person whom I would just as soon not be around would be high strung, unpredicable with no boundaries and no respect for others, aggressive/abusive, one who discounts people based on what they look like or position/job in life, and has no love for even themselves.

Bad people don't love themselves? Isn't alter ego a form of loving one's ownself more than anything and anybody else? And isn't alter ego one of the worst taraits in our genes-maybe only second to hate-that make peeople harm others?
Hmm...come to think of it, it is a deeper subject matter than it seems...
Please do elaborate Ms. Montana....I'd be eager to read on....
TY.

Sorry, but my opinion is we are ALL basically good people. Depending on situations we go through, experiences, what we're exposed to in life, what we learn or don't learn....nature vs. nurture.
A newborn child is pure and "good". Children are "good". We are the adults that can either enforce that "goodness" or make it all evil. It's how we raise our children to think, feel, believe, and treat others that will determine if they are "good" vs. "bad".

I can only agree to that to a point....yes I believe we all start out in this world "good" and it is up to adults and society as a whole to help guide us in ways that keep us that way but...
It for whatever reasons caused it.....all people are definitely not good.

Bad people are destructive in their views of both themselves and others. In my opinion a person who is narcissistic(self love) has nothing to do with love which is given and received. I am NOT saying we don't all have a bit of narcissism it is the narcissistic who takes it to impossible "perfection" standards. Narcissim is a common trait in physically abusive men/women due to their extreme focus on themselves, uncompromising and rigid which can cause significant distress and impair function. These are bad people who do not love themselves in the true meaning of the word and are unable to truly accept their or others shortcomings.
Ego has nothing to do with love, in fact ego a lot of the times is loves undoing. Ego is all about oneself, where love is abou the greater good of both parties involved - reciprocal giving and receiving in a healthy balance. Ego fears this and pulls back to maintiain the upper hand and resists risking oneself to hurt.
I am by no means a psychologist, but this is how I view your question and what I believe. Feel free to interject your own opinions flyboy...I too would be eager to know...
TY

And,

I know I may get garroted here for what I am saying......but please, it is only my opinion, and it may differ greatly from others...
I believe to my very core...no baby is born into this world 'bad', 'evil' or any other negative word you can think of.
I believe people are products of their environment, their ignorance and their selfishness, a decision to be less, which can develop bad or poor behaviours.
On the flipside... environment, education,(and I don't just mean school, but life as well), can develop'good' behaviour..it is a decision too.
We all have the capacity for good, as well as evil...it is a decision we choose to make.

Since it stated what "makes" a good person good and what makes a "bad" person bad (and Spidermiss2426 stated she was asking after reading the forums)my answer is based on that and not if they are born good or bad because a person can not "become" anything until they have a choice in it. 
I value your opinion and would never agree to garroting...

As already stated by another member one cannot be all good or all evil... Everything has to balance out. Yet the terms "good" or "evil" are such to be left up to an individual's interpretation.
Personally I really hate the judging that people tend to do, but we are all people, and we DO judge others, whether we like to admit it or not-- Our challenge as humans is to try and not Judge others.
But I digress... What tips the scales in your opinion?? What makes a person good.. what makes a person bad... or both.. or neither??
