Konstantin, I\'m sorry, but on my screen your response is shown as \"Am I satisfied/happy with the fight against corruption? No.\" Maybe my computer is blocking the \"am I happy with how the fight against corruption is going? No\" version that you posted to me above? In that case, I apologize for my computer :)

disagree  Alina Mamlyuk: Without the word "state," it is almost as though the speaker is rhetorically asking himself if he's for or against corruption? He needs to indicate the level at which he presently finds the "fight." Otherwise, you're making him out to be a cynic ;)
