Quote:
and if you look at history how many years of humankind are there where there were no wars or people killing other people? I'd have to say that for wars it's a handful of years, and for just people killing people... it's never.
people have always been killing people that's not different because we live in houses, tall buildings and drive cars.

Simple refutation? There's a difference between what we did and what we SHOULD do. No one can argue that we're more productive in destruction and violence then we are in creativity and sharing. Which SHOULD we do? The answer is simple; avoiding violence progresses society, and sticking to archaic ("hey look, the monkies do it too..") values degrades society. Which would you rather be a part of?
