Your definition of evil is quite niche,

Roose's actions prove he is actually evil regardless fo what you think, he is just clever at hiding it. His evil is ever present. It is not just a raping action that makes him evil, it is his attitued towards it. How can you say that he is less evil than the Freys? Walder is just a spoilt old man who thinks he acn dp what he likes, in fact the only Frey who is evil is Black Walder, but Rosse is one of the most evil in the series, just not the same kind of evil as Joffrey, Ramsay etc, all Amerie does is sleep with men and you think she is worse than a man who rapes women for pleasure? And Hosteen etc are just a little arragont, are they worse than a guy who, like his son flays people alive?


I might post links to iother people proving he is evil on another forum if I get chance later.

Actually, I think it's your definition of evil that's niche. Of course people like Amerei aren't worse then Bolton in simple horrendousness of their acts, but Bolton's acts (except this one rape, besides which, may I point out, he actually promotes peasant happiness) all serve a greater purpose. Thus, IMO he's less evil then folk like Black Walder or Rhaegar and Hosteen, who are evil just for the sake of it.

But maybe I'm too machiavellian in my thinking about good and evil.

The Doctor: I always read the instructions!
Idris: There's a sign on my front door. You have been walking past it for seven hundred years. What does it say?
The Doctor: That's not instructions.

The Doctor: "Pull to open."

How about some Benjamin Franklin quotes:

The U. S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do.

Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.

Life's Tragedy is that we get old to soon and wise too late.

Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody.

I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.

I didn't fail the test, i just found 100 ways to do it wrong.

Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

Distrust and caution are the parents of security.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body.

If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone.

He that won't be counseled can't be helped.

The strictest law sometimes becomes the severest injustice.

He was a fountain of great quotes. His quote on liberty/security is particularily apt what with the gun debate. Too bad not enough politicians/citizens seem to think the way he does anymore.

@Telchar, lets agree to disagree again shall we. :wink:

And, because a quote must be held;

-James Lester in Primeval, about Christine Jonson.

No because you are English. A quick run down on him from Wikipedia:

"Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705] – April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. He invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, a carriage odometer, and the glass 'armonica'.[1] He facilitated many civic organizations, including a fire department and a university."

Should throw in another quote from just after the closing of the Constitutional Convention:

Mrs. Powel: "Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
Benjamin Franklin: "A republic if you can keep it"
