Your impertinence is intolerable. I can't believe you think you are in any position to lecture us. You talk as if everyone's going around casting these spells willy-nilly. For your information, they are carefully regulated, and only those who are properly licenced may cast them.
It speaks to the point that you haven't necessarily put together that those 'licensed' few only think they have the judgement to decide when and how to employ them.
Or that you're clever enough to avoid attracting unwanted attention of that sort.
Either way, you have seen them, haven't you? I know you've heard of them being used on your fellow students, as recently as last month. Even if that were a rumour, surely you recall your Transfiguration professor casting the Cruciatus on a first-year? And the account of the young lady so unfortunate as to spend the holidays with my own mother?
Ever been to the camps? I'm told by reliable sources that the Cruciatus and Imperius curses are used there as well, to 'control' obstinate slaves?
Beyond that, Mr Weasley, casting the Curses is more than saying the words, or enduring the effects you create. There's no turning back after you've done it. Casting an Unforgivable Curse doesn't only hurt the victim; it changes you, the wizard, as well. Much for the worse. And no amount of prevaricating
( ... )
I didn't think Fred and George's parents would defend using the curses. But maybe they're saying what they're saying only because they know other people are watching? I hope so.
When the decent folk stand up for what is right, dear cousin. When the victims of cruelty at the hands of wizards are restored their basic human rights.

That hardly helps your case, young Weasley.
Have you ever seen the Curses close up? Cast them? Felt them?

No, I have not felt them, which only speaks to the point that they are used exceedingly sparingly, and for good reason.

Hope this gives him plenty to chew on.

All I want is for the wizards of England to realise their folly and start treating humans like humans again.

Yes. Tell them. Tell them.
I wish I could tell you that some people are listening...

I think he knows, Terry!
