im so confused.. so you chose to beat your father, got arrested. ok... but why did you choose to beat him and get arrested a second time? doesnt that imply that you didnt learn from getting arrested the first time? isnt there a word for people who have trouble with learning?
also please answer my question re why you think its 'smug' to feel superior to someone who went to jail for beating his father?
what do you think the word 'smug' means there?
