Have you guys ever realized that good things turn out using for bad stuff or vice versa like:

dynamite (was meant for mining, used in war)
fireworks (was meant for putting a good show, used to kill people with firearms)
ski masks (was meant to keep the face warm during winter, used by robbers)
speedos... well they were never meant for a good use :lol:
Arise now, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Dire deeds awake, dark is it eastward.
Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded
forth Eorlingas!

I could give my favorite example of something good turned into something bad, but it would spark theological debate, so I won't mention it.

Cocain was originally used as a drug during the late 18 and 19 hundreds, and Coca Cola was supposed to be a cure for the common cold.

Without the internet there would be no CAA. What makes something evil is when it is infected and twisted by man or Satan.

lol.
Internet is a really good one so is the Cocain one by Wise Dragon...
Uh...
Well cell phones for instance. Used for mobility because you can't always find a pay phone and are now used in cars which cause accidents probably more than anything else. (That and women putting on make up while driving) or anybody in general smoking. Those are two bad things again.
I have to give the cellphone one to frwl because he really was the one that mentioned the phone idea. ^^;;;

Just about everything is that way. Hwo about anime, hmm?

Food. The Romans would gorge, purge, and gorge again in thier orgies, so food was turned into a potentially bad thing.

Wine. "A little wine for the stomach" has been turned into just another way to get drunk. This is the reason my grandmother (who's heart, as her doctor has told her many times, would benefit from a little red wine) won't go anywhere near it.

Is any object good and bad in and of itself, or is it only in how a person uses it?

Anything can be used in the wrong way. It's like a line in Castlevanis:AoS. It was something like this:

"My power may be dark, but it still just a power. I didn't ask for it, but I have a choice in what to do with it."
