Do you consider yourself a good person? This, most likely has a different meaning for each person in regards to what they feel good is. While thinking about some things this week, this question came to me and I thought it would make a good thread topic.

I think I am reasonably good and I am doing my best to stop negativity from creeping into my daily life :)

I've never thought of myself as a particularly nice guy. I'm kind of a dick really. In fact, its a daily struggle to not "be myself" unfortunately.

I try to be, but there are some people I'm a psyco too.

I consider it fair as they're usually assholes to me.

I know I'm a good person, but I also know there is room for improvement. I think the fact that I keep trying to improve lends credence to my claim of "good" status. Bottom line: you could trust me with your wallet even if you had an unsigned winning lottery ticket in it, if I only had a can of beans to my name and you were hungry I would share it with you, and I never quit trying to do better.

I don't think I can claim to be a good or bad person, but I can point to good thoughts, good words and good deeds, and see how they fare on the balance against their bad counterparts. Overall, I think good wins, but it would depend on who is judging!

Yes. Good, boring, reliable, responsible. That's me. However, I do occasionally have uncharitable thoughts about other people.

While my intentions are always good, I sometimes misstep in the execution and wind up doing the wrong thing at the wrong time, or the right thing at the wrong time.

I think we're all a work-in-progress. It's our ability to learn and try to do the right thing that differentiates us. Some people are too selfish to give a damn about any needs other than their own.

I do this occasionally too, but then feel guilty so I try to find something positive to think about them. It sounds lame, but it's true.

I'm not a bad person. :)

Interesting question though, i think my answer depends on how much sleep i had the previous night.

Sometimes I pretend to be, but that's just cos I'm luring people in before I get them stuck in my web and suck their juices out.

I KNEW it! :D

I'm a good person as long as I stay away from useless men, vodka and those endless bloody property programmes that send me homicidal. :D
