The Orcs as a society were, in contrary to Men, composed mostly of individuals who thought the same as Grishnįkh - considering these qualities unimportant. In a human society today, you have people who think it's a good thing to help those who are less fortunate and there are people who don't care in the slightest. Orcish society is the same only there is the difference that in their society the second type of people are quite large. How large, we don't know, but let's say above 90% (it may as well be 99%). Anyway, the point of the thread is the conclusion that can be made on basis of this, if any Orcs we know had any of these qualities.

Maybe a little context will go a long way.
Perhaps "kindness to enemies" was the fault.
