      I'm talking about 'the Grey' movie, starring Liam Neeson.

      And no, if I explain, I'd be spoiling it. :P

      'Bad' doesn't necessarily mean ignorant, if you're thinking otherwise. There are many evil people who are quite aware of what they do.

      I was thinking about a particular person that I think society might label bad. One who drinks too much, does drugs, has violent tenancies, and has trouble holding a job. But that isn't who he is, that is what he has done. He is also loyal, conscientious, and a good friend. I'm not going to be doing either of us any good by ignoring him.

      True. To some extent, we're all brought up differently. Some of us have had bad upbringings and generally have faced very challenging situations where we easily make the wrong decisions...but also deserve a chance to redeem ourselves.

      Yeah, my favorite was China Infantry, though. I have an epic mod I always play, called Rise to Power, which adds up to three extra generals for each army...so epic.

      Plus, did you hear about Generals 2 coming in 2013?

      Well, I think the quote can apple when sometimes it's just plain obvious who the oppressor is. ^^

      If a person does not strive for his/her goal, then they won't achieve it. Or clearly, if a person does not strive for anything, they'll get nothing.

      Ah, I was reading it as "Even if you have nothing else, hold on to what you strive for"...and that didn't make much sense.

      hmm, i see the message but im not sure i agree

      Where is the room for indignation? Isn't occasionally being angry fine up until the point where you lose control?

    3. Tenkan

      I think that whoever feels wronged must stand up and try to do something to stop it. Not getting angry doesn't mean giving in. And if someone does get agitated, I don't think hatred should be the drive.

      It's from an old Arabic folk story, I honestly don't know who wrote it or said it, though. Sort of like the boy who cried wolf.
