See, this is why I think you're an idiot. Just because someone is acting doesn't mean that they must have justified their action to themself. But when that action is going to end up in their own death, you can rest assured that they have justified it because the consequences are so far-reaching.

Look, I know nuanced thinking is not your strong point, but really, Paul, at a certain point you really need to realize -- there's nothing wrong with saying "I don't understand" and simply listening, instead of arguing every goddamned thing. Trust me, you'll learn more that way, and probably make more friends, too.

When an actor takes an action ipso facto that person has decided that action is justified.

This is what you said.

So now you're continuing the argument with yourself and calling yourself an idiot by saying that just because someone has taken an action doesn't mean they have justified it to themselves.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
