Is this a trick question?

Mankind excels at 2 things, reproducing, and killing one another, and it's just a matter of time when #2 overtakes #1 on the list.

Peace and civilized behavior are fallacies, they never last, or work. There will always be have-nots willing to kill to take what the haves have.

Man is too selfish for a true socialist form of government to work.

Perhaps a little reading in the field of cultural anthropology might be in order.  It could disabuse you of this rather pedesterian position.

2 wrongs don't make a right, unless you are trying to go left... then you should just shut up and drive!


2 rights do make a U-turn though.  And next time you tell me to shut up, you'll find your head on a stake at the entrance to this thread.

It was all in fun...

Out of curiousity would you shrink it first or just soak it in some gasoline and then torch it?

Never! There will always be someone who wants to be in control, to be the Ultimate Supreme Ruler. The only way you can be the Ultimate Supreme Ruler is to kill the current Ultimate Supreme Ruler. It is a vicious cycle, but well worth the ticket price.

The Ultimate Supreme Ruler's Enforcement Codes Book, states that Baptists will be considered as "The Mentally Handicapped" and be forced to wear a big neon orange "B" on the outside of their tunics.

No one looks good in neon orange. That is the point!

Name one "civilization" that wasn't brought down by the "barbarians at the gates", all nations fail, some more spectacularly than others.

Nations evolve, but never withot bloodshed, violence, and murder... to paraphrase "It's what we do".

That is a zebra question: When will lions know enough to stop killing zebra's?
The Creator created lions with a purpose. Zebra's would suffer from serious misery if the lions all packed up and left. Thus it is impossible for the Divine to ask such a question. Hence your Great Spirit cannot possibly be the Divine.


humans =/= lions

When we give up our addiction to that most addictive, most powerful, most satisfying narcotic of them all: power itself.

Based on past performance I’m not keeping my fingers crossed... still, hope springs eternal.
