Derpy

For the same reason, mankind should start caring a little more about ethics before starting fighting about which supernatural being told them to follow those rules.

@Derpy guess I'm not wise enough to understand that.... :(

Even better if they also manage to be smart enough to see that they don't even need to fight at all.

@Derpy ethics are hard to follow. Much easier is to just hate whatever you're being told to hate.

@M.A.R. check if your boss has red skin, horns, a pointy tail and caries a pitchfork around. That could explain a lot.

Magisch

nvm. I also had food poisoning some months ago
