If you want to do some reading on the subject check out Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty by Roy Baumeister. It's appears to be well researched and supported, and is very interesting, if somewhat depressing. I can't really summarize in a forum post, but among the main points are that "pure evil" is primarily a myth and most instances that look that way are distorted in media reports, victim accounts, and even just the perceptions of those hearing about them.
