Warrior blood

Getting along is weak-minded, huh? The ability to compromise is weakness? Concern for the general well-being is weak-minded?

Odd conclusion to come to.

I think killing for religious reasons is stupid. All of the religions fighting have a god of peace. Don't make sense to me.

Nobody is perfect. :laugh:

I'm an independent and a member of the NRA.

I'm not fun at parties unlesss you drink to much.

While I may differ with Khaos in emphasis, it is important that we realize that we are part of a biological system where the first rule is that everyone must eat and the second is that everyone is food for someone. We happen to be, at least in part, a predatory species. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing to be done about it, anyway. Even when I was a vegetarian, I was still consuming life. And something will consume me.

I do not think it is useful to equate predation and war directly. Insofar as we are the only species that makes war the way that we do, I am not entirely convinced that war is a natural behavior for the species. Why is it so quick and easy to learn and practice? I'm not certain. People do all kinds of weird stuff.

As animals, we are aggressive, defensive, vigilant, etc. War is something else.

There will always be a need for brave people. I don't imagine anyone is arguing that point. What we/they end up doing with their time is up for debate.

viewpoint... Of course it is.

Where in scripture does it say war/killing for religion is OK?

I was going to register as independent, but then could only vote in the general election registered to a party allows me to vote in the primaries as well...

It was a response to Phortis Nespin, though he may have been trolling.

Sucks doesn't it? I could do the same thing but can't decide which party is the less evil. We need a thrid party.
