I have trouble staying focused, so it really helps if I can say to myself that the hero is ___, know what it means, and then implement it with whatever I'm working on at the moment. Your examples aren't suitable because they are too broad. I need something short that speaks directly to who this character is. | |

| Mar 11, 2016 at 23:44 | comment | added | WS2 | I don't believe there is, otherwise it would have been used in the House of Commons debate on Syria a few weeks ago. Several speakers, in favour of the motion that Britain should join in the air operations against ISIS, felt that it would probably have little effect, since both France and the United States had been so engaged for well over a year. However ISIS operations were so pernicious and egregious that they should not be allowed to continue unchallenged, purely out of principle. | |
