Are people inherently evil?

You're conflating the breaking of a society's rules/laws with evil. They're not the same thing. Evil for the most part is not subjective but laws/rules of the land are. 

You can legally stone someone to death for saying god damn it in iran. Is that evil or is that simply an example of different moral standards and beliefs in a foreign country

I guess you can say that law is evil because the so-called crime isn't equal to the punishment. It's pointless brutality. Those sort of laws are based on a barbaric interpretation of a religion that needs to be modernized.
