@redrose971 But as humans, we have the capacity to override our biological conditioning. We do it every time somebody pisses us off and we don't smash their heads in. We did it after WWII, when the victors didn't annihilate the losers. Our genes can express themselves in many different ways depending on our environmental conditioning.
i disagree, i think war is ingrained in humans.We are a tribal animal,and since the beginning of time,when a strong tribe met a weaker one,they destroyed them.Every time.
He's wrong about war not being in our genes. Just watch apes or monkeys encountering another group. It is in our nature to be tribal - to hate the outsider.
AIDS could be stopped by testing and placing the infected into 'QUARANTINE' - an old concept that needs a modern facelift. Quarantine need not be a bad thing, but it is anathema to those who long for 'inclusion' and 'tolerance'. (The Gay agenda and 'privacy issues'). But political correctness comes at a high cost in human life. It's not worth infecting millions. Sorry Sam, throwing good money after bad within a flawed system is insane. PC attitudes allow the virus to spread, not war mongering.

@nugen11111 Humans are classified as apes. If you study behaviour of OTHER apes, you will see many similarities.

I saw a presentation by Sam Keen that he gave at my college a few years ago. He is absolutely outstanding.
