There is no such thing as being immoral v. being moral. If a person doesn't accept the established morals, he is living by his own standards, not being immoral. To paraphrase Mark Twain, "Lead us into temptation ... it builds strong character...
...that such pain is not "real." Most medical authorities now agree with Sternbach, who says: "Excluding the malingerer, who by definition is a deliberate faker, all pain is real." It does no good for a doctor to say "It's all in your mind."

...Charles Bronson. A flinty character actor who has appeared in everything from The Great Escape to The Dirty Dozen, he plays his first important lead with commendable skill. Unfortunately, such an overblown and overbearing film as this is too great a weight for any one man. The only thing capable of carrying Once Upon a Time in the West is a stagecoach-the one headed out of town...
