Well now, if you're going to pretend to be as ignorant of the world as a three-year-old, I can certainly treat you like one.
You see, when you grow up you realize that things work in such a way that there are oftentimes circumstances of injustice, situations where people find themselves at different extremes of inhumanity through various incremental steps that at the time seemed reasonable and/or unavoidable. There's also this tendency we have as creatures that arose through natural processes to be very limited in our scope and grasp of the wider picture, and consequently find ourselves continually learning and re-learning ways on how to improve our responses to new and old challenges that enter into our path, obstacles that may or may not be a result of conflicting human interests and passions. I know this must sound very foreign to your apparently naive sensibilities but now that I've given you something to chew on, you can probably recognize how incredibly asinine your attempt to dodge the question came across to the rest of us.
