Why would I justify obviously right actions? Cannoli Send a noteboard - 27/11/2009 09:25:45 PM
Well sort of... I can imagine someone being murdered because they're heretical for some reason, and then the whole city being massacred because they're pretty much all the same according to the Hero. Then pages and pages of moral justification. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the reader is wondering for the hundredth time whether he should give his book to his dog, or use it to start a BBQ.
The Terry Goodkind experience! I wouldn't see the need for lots of moral justification, because I believe morality is simple & black and white. I don't trust people who feel the need to apologize for doing the right thing, like Richard Rahl.

anti-Nynaeve? darius_sedai - 27/11/2009 08:26:54 PM 981 Views
But that is not the connotation of Egwene's comment. Cannoli - 27/11/2009 08:45:40 PM 1052 Views

Please recall that you have admitted an inferior understanding of American English connotations. Cannoli - 27/11/2009 08:23:41 PM 966 Views
Yes. I admit to not being fully familiar with a third rate rip off of a language I speak. So? fionwe1987 - 27/11/2009 11:18:39 PM 913 Views
