Preachin to the choir amigo, preachin to the choir. I don;t actually have any gripes with the mentality on it's merits. I revel in it, I think it's part of what makes us who we are and part of why we're so damned good at what we do. Non-conscious divisions of labor. Social insects do it too, only they do it genetically rather than sociologically (and to be fair we've engaged in a fair bit of warrior caste breeding programs ourselves). The end effect is that we both produce our rough and tumbles to handle the undesirables.
I don't even want to get rid of the mentality, I just think we'd be better off recognizing that we're doing it, when we do it, lol. The day that the human race turns into the gaggle of civil creatures that we all imagine ourselves to be is the day that my daughters cruel boot is felt on every neck.
(and all of my progeny are going to come correct with every ounce, every centimeter, of "dirty" biological apparatus they possess)
Is there any possible way I can actually reply to this....^^^^

It isn't to mock the post, but a simple acknowledgement that it made me laugh, especially the last two lines because it mirrors my own feelings with regards to my two daughters and how they will be treading on many necks in the future. Coming back to the issue, we just simply have to change the mentality, not through forcing, but through talking.
