No, Kev, the accepted date of the beginning of humans as we know them…..10,000 years.

Hahahahaha

Seriously. "The accepted date of the beginning of humans as we know them, is 10.000 years ago" ???

Accepted by whom?

Even if we're only talking about Homo Sapiens, the accepted (non-African) moment they started displaying modern behaviours was 70.000 to 130.000 years ago (depending on the location, as obviously, in places like Glasgow, they're still too barbaric to be called modern humans).

The first "controlled" fire by humans (Homo Erectus) was about a million years ago.
There are cave paintings dating back 40.000 years.

What sort of drugs are you abusing, dude. Really. Open a bloody history book or something.

No. Of course not.

That is why the human shield excuse is stupid. Use this hypothetical scenario to put them in a situation where they would have to do the killing of a child themselves. Could they do it? Could they do it without feeling guilt? Of course not.

They know it is unethical. It is just easier to condone it when someone else is doing the killing. They would never do it themselves. Even if they felt no remorse and wanted to they would fear what people would say about them. People would point fingers at him saying that is the guy that killed that poor little girl. Said he would not stop shooting until he released the girl he shot to death.
