"...good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more."
~ Woody Allen

I can see the humor. However, I cringe at any suggestion that reality is either one way or another.
Life is not in black and white. It's in shades of gray.

I enjoy Woody - but like so much else in guerrilla humor it's a gross oversimplification. We are all capable of being all the different kinds (types are for printing) of people there are - and finding justifications for whatever we choose to be from time to time. It's only knowing this, and the consequences, that allows us to make intelligent ethical choices. Apart from pithy humorous one-liners, generalizations only help us to avoid conscious choice. Life's easier that way - and that's why most of us can sleep easily enough, and enjoy the waking hours in disregard of what we're avoiding. That can make good satire, as long as the audience doesn't have to think too much about it. So Ho Ho Ho. And hooray for Woody and his kind.

Some of us are fed up with people asking questions that they havent' even attempted to answer themeselves. A lot of people could find out the answers to their questions on their own if they would try doing a little research first. Other people are fed up with questions like this one too.

I don't think much of Woody Allen and less of what he has to say.

Depends on the temptation at the time--I can resist it and stay good or I can give in and become bad. Sleep in my case is not affected by my choice since I don't have any sleeping problem.

I can't tell the difference, I make myown morality, so what I consider bad might be what everyone else considers bad, but I draw the line pretty far into the bad of many others

I guess im bad, I dont sleep well. It's better to be a bit bad anyway, as long as you dont go too far with it.
