I like my movie quotes and this one from Whoops Apocalypse seem appropriate :lol:

Sir Mortimer Chris: You can't show you're resolute without showing you are strong. And you can't show you're strong without blowing people up.

Bump for awesome topic and hitch failing to address the issue properly.


George lucas stold everything he ever wrote.... including that famous yoda speech.

Your assertion that people have discredited the link between fear and violence I have found to not have any basis in actual reality.

I recently read an interested paper on the threads subject. Where the author postulated that fear is an inherently good emotion when applied to immediate dangers to ones life. But When those same instincts are applied to symbols and systems of meaning it begets what we would identity as the "evils" in the world.

like ir or not, we're all animals.
like it or not, we're all ruled by the same old "fight or flight".
we'll only ever fight if we have no (or don't know of any) other options.
now, making OTHERS fight for US, now that's an entirely different matter.

what IS an enemy if not someone you fear (or hate, but as we already know, hate is just a sublimation of fear)?

Hate is actually a learned response to fear... we are not born with that quality. I beleive it needs to be taught.

But if you keep agreeing with me were going to end up to comming to some kind of understanding.

Then how am i going to persecute you hitch?

I'm not a hateful person.
I always found cold wit to be so much more painful.

Incorrect; a cold shoulder is much worse.
