[quote=SETH,325239]"Who did???? I never killed anyone ... etc." Hi SHESGOTTOBE - sorry, I didn't mean to offend you personally! :-)) My question addresses the collective "we", as in humanity. Currently there seems to be lots of religious-inspired killing in the mid-East, and especially Islamic Republics. Terrorists kill and main their own Islamic brethren, similar to the Northern Ireland Catholic/Protestant killings years ago, where so-called Christians killed other Christians. Maybe as a species we are all just weird, looking for any excuse to kill each other. Religion is as good a reason as any I guess. Another horrifying example is Hutu and Tutsi conflict during the 1990's. "The deadly power of the split between Hutu and Tutsi in central Africa is witnessed not only by the genocide of more than half a million carried out by Hutu extremists against Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda in 1994, but also by a long list of massacres by extremists on both sides in recent years, in Rwanda, in Burundi, and in eastern Congo." (ref.: http://www.africaaction.org/bp/ethall.htm) Here, it wasn't religion, but rather economic and ethnic differences. Because the Tutsi's are taller than the Hutu's, a favorite game of Hutu extremists was to cut off the feet and legs of Tutsi's to 'even the score'. I am personally sick of all the hate in the world, and wish we could do something about it. But history and current events seem to be against me. :-(([/quote]
