    Is there such thing as a 'good person' per say?
    What characteristics would you say make somebody a good person?

    no i guess your right, some never do, but if someone is being an asshole, how can they stop?

    What if your being an asshole for a good reason? (not that there is any good reason to be an asshole)

    what if you appear to be an asshole, because you didn't want to upset someone?

    Absolute Good would be several orders of magnitude above where I am, or even at the moment of my birth.

    Relatively, compared to a lot of people, I can be called good, but that is all it is, a label.

    You two seem to confuse a person with humanity, or mankind, humankind, whatever floats your boat.

    I have far too many faults to be called a 'good person'. I don't think there's anyone I know well who I haven't at some point intensely disliked. Plus I'm very self-absorbed, jealous, cowardly, tactless, judgemental, bitchy etc. etc.

    I believe that good people are rare, so let's not cheapen the term.

    You can have your faults and still be a good person.
