They think everything in the world is our fault, we're evil, violent, vengeful, blah, blah, blah. If they had their way, we'd all have gotten wiped off the face of Terra years ago.

My last workplace before I died was the worst of them all.
no subject
[be NICE. for once in your life be nice.]
Unless you mean the battlefield. In that case, I'd guess that explains how you ended up here. [dead.]
no subject
[ politics are so much worse than war in his opinion ]
My death was unrelated to paperwork, thankfully.
