Seems that far to many are not getting it.
There is a HUGE difference between "seemingly peaceful" now, and peaceful in the past and peaceful forever. There is also geography and majority vs minority going on in human history, and since nothing ever stays the same, my point is it still amounts to human behavior not labels.
There is no corner of the globe that has been violence free, ever. Study enough of human history, and that becomes obvious. I cant say this enough, there is not one nation that does not have hospitals and prisons.
Give any sect of any population enough power, they still have the potential to become what they claim to have fought to defeat.

You are a fucking idiot. Every thought vomit isn't deserving of yet another spaz ass thread.
