      Bad people create bad times, it’s pretty simple.

      People might consider Jimmy Carter a “soft man,” but did he “create bad times”?

        Those people are not defining ‘soft’ correctly, then. Also the original expression isn’t “soft”, it’s “weak”.

        Sure, Carter might not have had muscles, but only a vile piece of trash would call him weak.

        Edit: Interesting how you edited your post to read very different after my response… Almost like you realize you were spouting shit at first.

      So you think saying “x causes y” directly is a metaphor for “x causes y, so dont do x”. Huh. What do you think a metaphor is?
