Man is by nature good,
but his fellow man isn't.

Surprised you chose this one. Do you agree with this statement?

this statement reflects our thinking about ourselves. i find it very amusing, don't you?

reminds me of the story about the pharisee in the temple praying quite proudly, as a poor wretched sinner nearby is also praying and unable to get past his own unworthiness. after jesus tells this parable he says: "everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and everyone who humbles himself will be exalted." luke 18:9-14

Yes, I would absolutely agree with you. Was Verhoeven being ironic--or was this before the time of irony?
