MVD: This statement is like saying, "You can easily judge a man by how he takes a piss."

You can judge men lots of different ways. And the idea of good and evil are just terms we use to accomplish this end.

Forbes makes no mention of good or evil - he just says character.

But, back to your comment. Yes, he does say just you can judge a man by how he pisses - in the sense that your statement says that the rich and the powerful can piss all over the weak and the poor and no one should say, "boo" about it.

So, we can modify Forbes statement as follows:

"You can easily judge the character of others - just see if they piss all over those who can do nothing for them or to them."

Your original statement is actually one of the most antithetical to the American ideals that were set forth at our founding and reinforced throughout our history that I have ever read. Truly a scary sentiment.
