I've gotten a max of 24 points from Super Scrabble. It has quadruple word scores on the corners.

They use rats these days. Dogs usually just guard bases.

If you play well, you can gain a lot from war. But peace is even better.

Is warfare hard-wired into the human psyche?

When was the last time there were no wars, not even a small one, anywhere on the planet?

Human beings are inherently evil...we have to be "taught" how to be good. Wars are no different. I'm sure most of us would like to simply wipe a country off the map and be done with them rather than trying to reason with them.

If bitching is the worst thing you do in relation to war, count yourself lucky.

I don't believe in political correctness. I say things as I believe they are and ready and willing to change my stance if substantial proof tells me otherwise.
From what I have experienced, I believe many people feel that way, even if it is not formally verbalized.
I'd like you to tell me how my thinking is screwed up..

What's to explain? You're advocating genocide (or at the very least substantial loss of life) over reasoning.

i don't even know what you're sposed to mean by that.
it p----- me off to read about people like the woman in the link doing those things as a way of expressing their disdain for the war. anti-war protestors just seem more belligerent and obnoxious than those who support the war in question.

Star Boy, you'll have to forgive Scotty (whose mom does in fact have it going on 😉). You see, he only understands intelligent, rational statements. Mindless left-wing babble is out of his scope.

Look at this GF a microcosim of how humans relate to each other. If we were all kings and queens there would many world wars. Stop trying to make this simple notion of human nature so elaborte.
