Hate them by all means if it pleases you, but it is more effective to apply one's faculties to the task of elimination.
Man does not succeed solely by being smart, but also by exerting effort.
In some cases, effort is more important; and in some cases, the extent to which the will is hardened outweighs the extent to which the intellect is clouded.

The very fact that a suggestion of that sort comes so readily and typically from you indicates your state of utter degradation.

when it was on the ropes it was merely despicable. an evil that needed to be eradicated. rather than allow hate to rule them and make them charge into germany they kept a cool head and maneuvered so that as few ally lives were lost as possible.
