Quote:WE FIGHT OVER THE GROUND WE LIVE ON.
To be fair,so do most other animals.
However,other animals don't kill each other over ideas about god(s) or different economic systems,nor do many other animals kill each other (or other species) for pleasure.

@Frodo: I made an honest,if unflattering observation about your powers of reasoning. Although I don't dislike you personally, I still find your posts frequently irritating; you are neither stupid nor a fool,so it's frustrating..-- I do not conflate your often clever use of rationalistion with independent or critical thought.
I try to refrain from ad hominem attacks unless attacked first. On this occasion,you attacked me first.Not believing in turning the other cheek,I hit back.
That's all I have to say to you on this matter..

@Watson;Philosophy is not a competition based on who agrees with whom. Your position is based on a common logical fallacy, argumentum ad populum.(appeal to the people or argument by consensus)
It's fine to disagree,and to claim a position is wrong.However, in doing so,you attract the burden of proof. So far you have not met that obligation,so your claim has no credibility.
