It may be the nature of our beast. History does not show a great willingness of humans to avoid the destruction of their own kind in the long run. We repeat our differences over and over and "might is right" seems to rule the politics of civilized man.
It plays out here and everywhere that we compete among ourselves for limited resources and territory. I call it "paying your dues for knowledge". No good education ever comes for free and dealing with self centered egotistical creeps can be demeaning at times. But you can keep it in a proper perspective as this thread sort of does.............
I think it may be partly based on our need to survive and compete. A lack of understanding and common ground. In the end, often after it is too late, we then realize that comprimise is an art form and it is better to go home a bit disappointed than to have no home at all...................
There is a great difference between ignorance and stupidity. One can not be changed, so you have to work around the other (it is always there to test you).............
But this place is not so bad. It could be much worse, believe me
