This is not a very mature attitude, if I may say so :->

These two statements are contradictorary, in the first you say that you want
to make life as difficult as possible...to demand real reforms, in the second
you say that you are opposed to making the SU a better place to live.  My
deduction from this statement is that either you should refrain from making
life as difficult as possible (for otherwise it might become a better place
to live due to the ``real reforms'') or you should think before you post.
