Re: BRUTAL: Kid Violently Beaten to Death by 3 Teens in Front of Village...Noone Helps
History is not science. It's a common mistake people make for proof that we are violent by nature. We simply react to our environment. If you're raised in a caring, loving environment filled with abundance then you will share and reflect those traits. If you're raised in an environment where for example food is scarce and causes conflicts between tribes etc. then you will likely be more aggressive towards others. The idea that early humans engaged in lots of tribal warfare and murder is now known to be untrue. It was more of a sharing/trading situation with many working together. There may be a violent gene but it will need an environmental trigger in order for it to surface. I don't believe a chimp or a human would kill for fun unless they have some kind of brain defect or have been raised in an environment that would influence that behaviour. Do you have evidence for chimps killing for fun? I'd be very interested to look at it. |

Do you realize that I asked you for support for claims? You then re-pontificate your position without any support except your expertise. After which, you ask me to support my claims. Of course, I can, and unlike you, I will. I doubt that you will read any, but there are many places where chimps killing for fun and for political gain are documented. One source is the book Demonic Males. BTW, your logic is circular. You argue that if they kill for fun, their brains are defective. Think about that position. It is like saying, "Evidence that is against my position is defective because it is against my position and therefore against the correct position." |

You want me to support that as far back as hunters and gatherers humans were not killing each other but working together and sharing? I use that as it goes against the history people so quickly bring up as evidence of humans violent nature. I would say the opposite is true and that we have no nature, only environmental influences. You say the chimps killed for fun...then you say political gain. From what I understand chimps kill for many reasons...but I've never heard any killing for fun. I did check out Demonic Males and it seems it's a typical nature vs nuture argument which modern science is pretty agreed that environmental conditions are needed even for genetic traits to surface. Would you like me to provide evidence of this also? What I'm trying to say is that if chimps or humans do kill for fun then it is an environmental influence of some kind that creates that behaviour. If it's some kind of illness(mental) passed on genetically it would need an environmental trigger in most, if not all cases. |

You post this three hours after I cite the book. You did not read it. “Your” take on this book is not even close to what the book is about. Did you just look at Amazon and try to pretend that you read it? I can cite more sources, but as I said, I know you won’t them, and you have still failed to cite any source. Cite at least one source to support your position. Even that silly mythology of the bible has the first man born on this planet turn into a murderer. |

You are just not getting it. No you have idea what the book is about. I looked at your middle "citation" and stopped. That is not a citation. It is someone making speculations. That is all she is trying to do. I think we are different levels of discourse. I read real articles and books; you read summaries. Let's not waste each other's time. You won't buy the book? OK, do you live near a library? |
