Yes.

No, but I don't think there are any truly good people.

Eh.

100% of the time? No.

More often than not, I think.

Yep.

Yes. Flawed like any person, of course, but good.

I try to be.

In general, yes.

I have a long history of self-esteem problems, so I used to think I was a terrible person. But comparing myself to terrible people, I don't have many of the same flaws--I lean more towards incompetence. I guess that means I'm a good person.

(Geralt had it backwards. People don't love stories about monsters because they feel less like monsters after reading them. They love stories about monsters because if everyone's a monster, you have an excuse for ignoring the part of yourself that tells you not to be one.)

I think I'm fundamentally good, but I don't always do enough actively good things. If that makes sense?

Define good!

Are we tallying sheer altruistic other-benefit? (Because richer people have a huge advantage with that, seeing as they can do more stuff.) Or is it a potential thing, like 'how much you do out of how much you can possibly do'? (What's the threshold for good, there? 50%? 75%?) Are we talking morals and values and principles? Or maybe empathy/sympathy, or how much we care about others, or how polite we are, or how we treat others? (How do you figure religion and stuff in?)

I mean, if you can say things like "I'm not an asshole" "I'm not racist" "I don't trip people for the lulz" "I don't rob banks" - are you good? Or are you just Neutral?

Good is complicated, just like evil!

No, I think I'm trash.

Yes. I guess I'm bad in ways that I do have mean thoughts just like anyone else, and I am judgmental (in my head only and mostly about fandom people because I don't get out much) but I don't let my judgmental thoughts (for example, kinks) colour my opinion on them otherwise.

I try. I do good things sometimes, and I almost always manage to avoid being an actively bad person, so I think I come out okay on balance.

everyone does. I have this delusion too. Wait a minute... *throws a rotten egg at a passerby* Where were we?

I've been called a good person by some people. I am always immensely surprised how they got that idea, so no I don't think I'm a good person. On the other hand I am not a bad person either.

I think I could be much worse, but I also think I could be much better. Depends on what you classify good as, I suppose. Maybe?

Yes. I'm a god damn angel. Got so much brownie points karma I can put it in a vault and swim in it like Scrooge McDuck.

No, I don't. I have a really bad personality; I get angry fast, I'm moody all the time, annoying the rest, hardly do anything and yet complain a lot. I volunteer for things but I feel like that doesn't necessarily cancel out the negative drain I am on friends and family. I am literally nothing but a bad influence on my angel of a best friend. Sad.
