That's a lot of patience, philosophy and intelligence for somebody who most
certainly does not deserve it.
This place is quite strange. You can kick anybody in the ass and have a good
laugh then watching people wondering "was it such a bad action?", "isn't it
useful in some way?", "what is justice eventually?", "Should we take action?",
"Do we have the right to take action?" and so on (watch the discussion
degenerate into "is there a god?", "is there life on Mars?", "isn't Goran the
inventor of the Rubik's cube?"...).
We are weak.
