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

Your tactics are sadly predictable, Black. And sadly mistaken, to presume that because I am abroad you can attack these matters of public record with impugnity.
As for your accusation that the licencing process is either corrupt or biased, the comment shows only your own ignorance. You are possibly thinking of the Ministry you left behind, rather than the administration's current policies.
One has only to look at the number of applications for immigration to the Protectorate to see that our new, changed England offers a haven for the true future of our race - and perhaps more importantly, a foretaste of the future in which all wizards may live openly and without fear of harm at the hands of lesser creatures.
More empty threats? They're getting dead boring. I'm sure you're growing tired of not being able to catch me. Sorry; I've no intention of making it easy for you.
The only reason people have to fear you, Malfoy, are those practises to which you seem to believe you are entitled. Do you honestly think anyone 'learns a lesson' from the Cruciatus? Or is better off for being controlled under Imperius? Or deserves an instantaneous death sentence? How many times have the Curses been used for truly laudable reasons, and how often do they merely become shortcuts to getting your miserable way?
If France has any sense, they'll chuck you right back into the insane asylum you've helped to create.

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.
