You can be evil and be completely mindless with absolutely no choice.  One of the definitions of evil is "That which causes harm, misfortune, or destruction."  Something can be malicious and destructive by nature.  Therefore evil. 

Exactly. The government is an example of evil that is essentially mindless due to its collectivist nature.

Edit:  unless i was a serial killer that specifically hunted serial killers.  that's sorta' fuckin' heroic.

What about a serial killer who hunted politicians?

Yes, but a government is not a person.  A hurricane is not a person.  Almost any time you call a person "evil" you are referring to his/her moral nature, unless you are making a comment on that person's nature qua mechanical being, in the context of which this question makes no sense.  Why are the options terrorist, cop, serial killer?  Why not include tornado or plague?  The common feature throughout the options in the poll are their being evil as moral agents, not merely as mindless agents of destruction.  In fact, arguably the most contemptible aspect about each of the three options is the fact that they have minds, and yet choose to perform evil (in the material sense) - that is what makes them evil (in the familiar moral sense).

ron paul is off limits.

If I was allowed to define terrorist to be only violence against government employees I would choose that, otherwise I would choose to be like Dexter.

Also, I wouldn't say that it makes any sense to call a particular person evil, only the actions themselves. Thus the question should be, "If you had to commit evil, what would you commit?"

[segphault]

I would be a terrorist and blow up Ron Paul. Haha just kidding, I'm not into violence. Actually, if I HAD to be evil, I would probably choose cop and arrest him for disregarding social justice.

[upperdeck]

I picked a policeman...If I have to be evil...It was an obvious choice because I could still live a normal life.

[Laetitia]

I no longer wonder what it would be like to be evil. I am an Authoritarian Dictator. And, I torture children.

I have pulled the power cords and chargers for all video game systems in the house, and locked them away in an undisclosed location.

Gotta say, thus far, not so bad.

If I wasn't a principled libertarian, I would be calling CPS on you right now.

World Banker option please.

I think all the conspiracy theorists are just jealous that they can't be world bankers.
