I get it, but I also have sympathy for someone who doesn't want to give up their life's work and passion because somebody came in and took it.

It always makes me think of the Good Place where basically if you drill down everything is corrupt and unclean enough that nobody can claim purity. He's faced with either giving up everything he has worked for and what he loves or have it corrupted whether he takes the money or not. I have no sympathy for the guys who jumped when this started, but I do here. Sure he is set for life either way, but he would have to essentially retire and give up his purpose to stay clean. I can't get too worked up about it. But I'm not watching Liv golf under any circumstances. Probably just the majors that are outside of the structure (I believe).

Corrupt is one thing but they're worse, they're basically evil. They pretend to be our ally while funding terrorists that attack us. - Krusty Dec 7, 14:51 1
- I don't disagree on how awful they are, just what to expect from someone under the circumstances. -- nm - pmb Dec 7, 14:55
maybe some of them should watch Chariots of Fire -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 7, 14:49
