One funny thing about human nature is that all of us seem to enjoy conflict. Healthy majority of people
relish intermittent low intensity conflict... minority sicko ward craves conflict constantly, ratcheted to high.

"One funny thing about human nature" as in odd, curious, strange... of course not as entertaining or amusing.

even tho this should not necessary, allow me to both restate and then rephrase...
"if that seems ->strange<- to you, and not to others..."
you used tha word "funny", and, i am allowed to do tha same, especially if my meaning iz tha same az yers...
do you see it now, grampy???
yes, now you do...
if i had stated, "to view someone's supposed defects of character az odd, curious, strange iz in and of itself... a defect of character..."
which, in essence, i did...
then you would have had to look within, rather than continuing to think you had a handle on this...
you see, sir, when you stated, "human nature is that all of us seem to enjoy conflict", you were absolutely correct...
itz human nature...
always haz been...
always will be...
BUT,
to view it az odd, curious, or strange iz what iz out of kilter...
it IZN'T odd, curious or strange behavior...
itz normal...
now,
you march to tha beat of a different drummer...
and that's just righteous...
but,
when you are corrected, for stating slightly erroneous points of view, (az i am, quite often) the proper reaction iz to look within...
i stand ready fer yer rebuttal...

as opposed to conflict it wouldn't in the least seem "funny, entertaining or amusing" much less "odd, curious or strange". Agree?[/b]

i do not see anything unusual there...

subliminally aware of at the time. "One funny thing..." was probably as much catchy thread title packaging as definitive or literal.
