Orcs are evil. I believe Tolkien said so himself in the Letters. They weren't ment to have any sort of personality, they were just born evil and died evil without considering anything about morality at all.

P.S. You are correct, Fea. That's why I don't have (much of) a problem with the discussion being about evil, rather than good. They are opposites, so by defining one, we also define the other.
