I was pleasantly surprised to have you commenting on one of my posts! Well, this particular one wasn't directed towards the female species, but towards placement officials who have no way of sighting latent brilliance. Hehe :D
well now, that makes more sense! yeah, i thought i should get in on the action :) I've told you this before but once again great posts dude, love 'em all :)
But who gets to decide what someone ought to be? Isn't having an idea for what someone should be like imposing upon them, taking away their free will and their capability to think for themselves?

Likely a bad translation from the German. I would read 'ought to be' as 'could be'.
