I think we all have the urge and desire to kill others to a certain degree or another. What I think is artificially induced is way a large percent of
people deal with murder, you know what I mean, the breakdowns and psychological trauma that a good percentage of people suffer from such actions even
when fully justified. This is a direct result of social engineering and changing morals religious indoctrination as well as a long history of weeding
out those who have a looser tendency for murder through incarceration/executions. This isn’t a bad thing really it’s a bystander of modern
civilizations but we are changing/altering a core “programming” of life/survival much the way we have breed dogs to decrease their violent
tendencies. But this is having some consequences in that we are loosing the ability to slowly to defend ourselves, each generation from the second war
world is less and less fit for the realities of combat/war. I mean people are completely freaking out here over 1000 or so deaths; there could be
greater losses in a single day in WW2 than what we’ve had in since 9/11 all put together in the war on terror. And a lot of soldiers and police
officers suffer greater mental health problems from some of the more violent aspect of their jobs because of the indoctrination they received from
birth about death/killing and violence in general.
If this keeps going the way it is, third world countries would be superiorly mentally equipped for the realities of combat than the US and other first
world country’s populations to the realities of war. I had mention this in another thread, people in the US who grow up in some of the harsher
ghettos and go through certain traumas in their life have better coping abilities and respond better to problems than those who have had a
cushy/endowed lives and if we ever have to face any large scale conflict like ww2 again I don’t think we can guarantee that we’ll be able to step
up to the plate like they did back then with hundreds of thousands of deaths. I may be ranting a little but I just hope that we don’t end up fully
breeding out our more aggressive natures and to only regret in a not too distant future. I mean look at the growing number of pacifist and peaceniks
who wouldn’t lift a finger to defend themselves in the gravest and critical of circumstances, I mean hour after 9-11 these people were asking for
peace to reign and all that, they would have walked into the gas chambers if they would have been around in the 1940s. this is all good if we can turn
99 percent of the population into hippies but if say even 10% of the population keep their harsher skills intact they could take over and impose
themselves on a numerically superior but sheepish population with no ability or inclination to defend themselves.
