Depends on motives and other related matters. One can be naive and that often is interpreted as being innocent. Innocent can mean one of 2 different things-unknowledgable or free/lack of guilt. So based on this it is possible for one to be innocent or naive as one wouldn't have the knowledge or ability to discern basic carnal or related matters. As far as being free from or lacking guilt-that is dependent on the person and situation. Now what this is related to is up to interpretation. I don't know enough of the situation to judge whether or not someone can be truly innocent. One other way to view this is on the aspects of motive. An innocent motive lacks any selfish attributes. Based on this even the most altruistic action-has at its roots a selfish motive-might be obscure, but it is there. A human does very little that doesn't benefit them at some point of time or another. So based on this aspect, there is no innocence.

Innocent of what though? Doing or Thinking? If we never thought about doing something perhaps sinfully or generally wrong, we would have no ability to question its moral place and then we would not be given the chance to say "no, I'm not going to do that because". So you have to think about bad things to comprehend them. If you think about them then you have a choice of thought.Doing bad things is also a difficult question, some people learn by their mistakes, and given we are all learning on a minuet for minuet basis, it would be hard to justify someone as Innocent or not. You would have to take their word for it I'm afraid. This is an impossible question to answer till the subject is dead and a full summary of his/her life can be fully explored. That's not possible either, but what if it where? What good would that information bring to an onlooker given your thoughts and feelings are unique to you, as too are you standards and the standards by which you judge. Fishing's good for you, but not so good for the fish and we have not even begun to answer your question.

While no one can claim to be completely innocent we can try our best to be innocent. Given the situation we inherit we will never be completely innocent, but that doesn't give us the right to be indifferent to our responsibility.

It depends how you judge innocents. I believe everyone is tainted after their first guilty feeling. Because if you feel guilt then by your own moral standard you've degraded yourself.

no, actually the innocent-looking ones are the most dangerous.

no. we all commit crimes, whether its morally wrong or legally wrong. lying or cheating could be a morally wrong or legally wrong crime. murder is both as well. cousing and swearing s something that is morally wrong. whether you're a christian or a non-christian, morals can make up your a lot of your character and your innocence.

No. Even newborn babes learn to cry to get what they want - not innocent. And they/we just get worse.
