    i mentioned this like half a year ago - but it's something that people in general pay little attention to ... these settlers don't give a rats ass about anything - they are essentially stealing and terrorizing without consequence ... i don't think anyone can rationalize their behaviour ... so, similar to another experiment on another thread - i suspect this one will get much attention ...
