but some of them are kinda vague "I don't believe human beings are as evil as some people make them out to be."
Which people? And what is their agenda?
But now I am asking you questions again.
"'Now you are asking me questions again.' 'I'm sorry, sir. I'm afraid I don't understand your question.' 'When didn't you say we couldn't punish you? Don't you understand my question?' 'No, sir. I don't understand.' 'You've just told us that. Now suppose you answer my question.' 'But how can I answer it?' 'That's another question you're asking me.' 'I'm sorry, sir. But I don't know how to answer it. I never said you couldn't punish me.' 'Now, you're telling me when you did say it. I'm asking you to tell me when you didn't say it.' Clevinger took a deep breath. 'I always didn't say you couldn't punish me, sir.' 'That's much better, Mr. Clevinger, even though it is a barefaced lie. Last night in the latrine. Didn't you whisper that we couldn't punish you to that other dirty SOB we don't like? What's his name?' 'Yossarian, sir,' Lieutenant Scheisskopf said. 'Yes, Yossarian. That's right. Yossarian. Yossarian? Is that his name? What the hell kind of a name is Yossarian?' Lieutenant Scheisskopf had the facts at his finger tips. 'It's Yossarian's name, sir,' he explained." Catch 22 p. 79
