And he came to the decision around the time of the 23rd Budokai that, you know, people deserve second chances and that maybe simply killing all of your enemies, when they can't really do anything to you, perhaps isn't the best course of action.

There is nothing retarded about that.

<Kaboom> I'm just glad that he now sounds more like Invader Zim than Rita Repulsa
<Xyex> Original Freeza never sounded like a chick to me.
<Kaboom> Neither does Rita
<Xyex> Good point.

Especially when you're telling the guy who slaughtered your entire race and who would've killed you except for a hoary old legend coming true at the right moment and who did explode your best friend and was about to explode your son *breather* that he should go off and get even stronger.

Well, Goku did give Cell a senzu to fight Gohan.
If anything, Goku has a lot of faith in people that don't deserve it--23rd tournament Piccolo, Raditz, Vegeta (See the fight with Ginyu), and then everyone he tries to make take his place later on... So I guess by the time he gets to Kid Buu, that's sort of questionable (did he doubt the ffectiveness of he Spirit Bomb/Genki Dama in the original?). And yet, despite that Goku was the one throwing the attack that finished Buu, there's no way he could have done it on his own... so in a sense, all of Goku's faith in humanity paid off. Ur... never mind that humanity was wiped out (other than Mr. Satan) a few hours earlier.
