Clear Examples of Goodies Vs Baddies

    I saw the recent "Kony" video on youtube that went viral.

    Perhaps it oversimplified things.

    Clearly this guy is a "baddie" but maybe his oponents aren't exactly "goodies."

    Then it got me thinking.

    How many wars can you think of where there are clear examples of Goodies vs Baddies?

    I'll start - WW2 - Nazis and Japanese (Baddies) vs Allies (Goodies)

    Next - 1916 rebellion - Republicans (Goodies) vs British (Baddies)

    Give me some more.:pac:

    None. On all sides it's always an elite sending young men out to be killed for their own gain, while they sit at home drinking brandy, and their sons get posted to the national guard administrative division.

    Nobody comes out clean from a war.

    1916 would be one of those events where it depends on where you're coming from as to who were the goodies and baddies.
    And while obviously the nazis were baddies, one of the allies, the soviets, certainly weren't goodies.

    Cats have an inner core of pure, unadulterated, evil.

    You just have to admire them. :)

    The Rebel Alliance: goodies

    The Empire: baddies.

    although when you think about it, the Empire provided thousands of jobs in the construction industry building the death star, and then it literally went boom, theres a recession allegory in there somewhere.
