Unless politics, nationality, race, obligation, etc.
Compassion is such a large part of human evolution that we've had about thirty-bazillion wars with each other, which usually involved the brutal and bloody butchery of each other, with some solid rape on the side.
Liquid rape is just not as much fun.
Quote:The lesson of the holocaust is not "pro Jew" anymore than the lesson of slavery is "pro black". They are both lessons of human evolution on how our species should not behave towards each other.
I find it funny that you call this human evolution, when both of these examples are cultural... therefore only impact human cultural evolution. Not that it'll matter come world war 3, yeah?
Quote:This ignorance is why the middle east is fucked up on all sides of the issue. Labels are still falsely claimed as being the inventor of morality. As long as you have humans ignoring that they are the same species you will always have stupid humans using labels as an excuse to do physical harm to others.
Pretty sure you'll have the same with them realizing that they're the same species... and I mean: why wouldn't you?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
