To answer that statement...
We know.... like plundering our own people, selling slaves, commiting genocide.... we know thre is NOTHING you wont do to protect your homeland.... ironic though is hoemland the people or the land?... because in if is the people... you wont have much homeland left after you "save" it now will you? lol.
Unless of course Loghain you think is the land.... which.... still you'll burn it to defend it... or is it to prevent others from getting it... hmmm loghain my friend, do I sense selfishness, maybe spoil little kid rant of "dont take it, I'll break it if you touch it, so you can never touch it again"...no? is just me then.
lol<3
Who would ever be so foolish to spend money to make money? Clearly if you want more money, you must hoard it and never let it slip your fingers.
And doctors: what a silly profession of people! Giving immunosuppressents to some sick people: everyone knows that more immune system is always better. And that heretical talk of cutting out natural growing skin (these alleged 'tumors') in the name of better health: everyone knows that you can't harm the skin if you want to preserve it! Let's not even talk about when they cut away into bone and tissue in those 'surgeries.'
Policemen are the worst of them all, really. Idiots, thinking they can protect the people by arresting people and then throwing them in jail.
And what about those idiots in the military, eh? Thinking they can justify running away like that to preserve forces. Everyone knows that if you want to defend land, you must never, ever, under any circumstance give up any ground to the enemy.
Smart people know that if you want to do something, there never any reason to do anything that might ever so slight go a grain against your position. Because that makes sense.
Being sarcastic sometimes brings the point... but your just ruining it lol
Half of what you wrote made no sense, so I'll stick to what actually made some.
"Who would ever be so foolish to spend money to make money? Clearly if
you want more money, you must hoard it and never let it slip your
fingers."
True, to make money you gota spend money... but I never head it was a sound business practice, to make money for your country by selling the very people living within to foreign lands.
I mean Elves are slaves more or less... they do tasks nobody wants... and selling them, while dreadful, is financially sound...... but that is if they are being traded within the country.... otherwise is.... a financial loss.
Or in perspective... I dont think is sounds business practice to sell the land you were going to build your casino to get the capital to build the casino itself.
"And doctors: what a silly profession of people! Giving
immunosuppressents to some sick people: everyone knows that more immune
system is always better. And that heretical talk of cutting out natural
growing skin (these alleged 'tumors') in the name of better
health: everyone knows that you can't harm the skin if you want to
preserve it! Let's not even talk about when they cut away into bone and
tissue in those 'surgeries.' "
So cut out bad tumors? I think that is what it was about... and the tumor would be? The king? who suggested waiting for reinforcements? but Loghain didn't want to?.... taken though that the king didn't want to wait that much for reinforcements either.
Still.... that..... "metaphor" was a bit off... hard to tell.
usually tumors, give nothing in return... not a lot good came out of cutting the king/tumor did it?... still neevr knew he was harmful to begin with.
"Policemen are the worst of them all, really. Idiots, thinking they can
protect the people by arresting people and then throwing them in jail."
yeah, criminals do clean toilets, attend to your every need, feed your kids, clean the house, teach children, do laundry attend construction jobs... they are really helpful that way.
ummm but to be fair... what is that one exactly is that one about "protecting" or "making money" I dont get it....
if is about "protecting" I dont find the correlation... putting who away?
And if is making money.... actually is more expensive to keep prisoners than to let them roam..... that is one case in which you spend money to... gain popular support. Prison systems are financial losses on any budget.
Although selling idle prison populations... is a nice way to get money though.
"And what about those idiots in the military, eh? Thinking they can
justify running away like that to preserve forces. Everyone knows that
if you want to defend land, you must never, ever, under any circumstance
give up any ground to the enemy."
Military doctrine is to preserve military strength, not really what was done.
Or to inflict maximum casualties with current forces even if defeat is certain.
If in a bottleneck where numbers had no advantage, with high ground, well supplied, and awaiting reinforcements was not a prime locations to win, or inflict maximum casualties... then loghain really doesn't deserve to be called a strategist...
Giving up, a prime location, high ground, fortified positon, well supplied routes, and fight a larger number of enemies on open ground, with a country on the edge of rebellion... on top of which hoping to kill one of its most influencial political, and military leaders (redcliff) to be a very sound strategic desicion.
"Smart people know that if you want to do something, there never any
reason to do anything that might ever so slight go a grain against your
position. Because that makes sense"
...what?
Loghain is a rich characters, before very smart... but in DA origins, he is anything but smart, he became paranoid with "protecting" the land, while actively burning it so noone else can have it... if that is not the definition of spoil/crazy despot I dont know what is.
