Snipping and changing the subject won't work Nash. Get this through your
thick head;

"Nature can be cruel."

Cruel:
1.. Disposed to inflict pain or suffering.
2.. Causing suffering; painful.
NOTE: Not only 1. but also 2.

It's perfectly correct for example to say "Nature can be cruel". Here are a
few links out of 456 where that phrase alone is correctly used.

"For the second year in a row I am watching white-tailed deer struggle
through the winter. I know these deer. I have seen them almost daily for
several years... Nature can be cruel."

It means something quite different than "Derek Nash was being cruel when he
broke the broom over his dog's back." Lightbulb coming on yet brick-head?

It *is* nice that your narrow-minded ignorance provides you with such
entertainment though, it probably saves taxpayer a hefty bill for
anti-depressants..
