I know this isn't the right time for this, but apart of me feels like it is. I'm not looking for a fight, but it's gonna come out that way because I've been thinking about it and I'm a little tired of people saying the same thing.

"You're not on the team, you don't know any better, you don't understand and you don't know what you're talking about."

Just because we're not on the team doesn't mean we don't know what we're talking about. Maybe we don't know all the details but it'd be really nice if you stop saying stuff like that.

I have my opinions and I reckon I'm allowed to put them out there. I found the last days troubling, from both what's been happening and how it's panned out in everyone around me. I'm not on the team for just that reason. Because I can't do attacks and I can't steel myself from things like someone dying, or someone gettin the tar beaten out of them, even though they've fallen already. I don't care that he's killed millions of people. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I don't think this is gonna solve anything or settle the upset stomach I have everytime I think about those looks that I caught when they were burnin off their anger. I get it, everyone's mad as hell, but I'm not cold hearted and I'm not like that. I can't relate.

I'm not going to tell you that you don't understand. What I am going to tell you is that being judgmental is very, very easy and fairly useless most days.

It's perfectly fine that you don't agree with the things that were done. You are more then welcome to your opinion. You're welcome to yell it from the hills as well. (I did like the little attempt at a save at the start though. Some advice, if something doesn't feel right in your gut, I say go with it.)

Anyway, you've got a right to all these things. But we've also got a right to tell you that you don't understand. To tell you that you haven't had the training that we've had. That probably seems terribly unfair, but then life often is.

A dead enemy is an enemy that's no longer a threat. It's a question of practicality. If all the group did was rough the guy up a little, that's pretty mild, Dude.

So, you're tellin me that if the army goes nad takes out a big bad, and the citizens of the surrounding area rn't happy about it, voicing their opinions, they don't understand? It's sort of the same thing. No I already said I don't have the training, I know that, but maybe it makes me feel it more because of that. Because I'm not indifferent to it.

I don't think you got it though either.

Dude... what are you even talking about? You have your opinions and other people have their opinions, too.

I'm talking about the ugly side of people I thought I knew came out. Make better sense? I'm not so good at explaining this.

Yeah, but you're making it sound like everyone who brought the whacko down is mean and cruel and evil and has a heart of stone.
