actually, if Iraq was the US friend and US invaded Iraq. It would be the equivilant of a guy had a bone stuck in his throat (in this case saddam) and a friend "helps" by sticking his arm down the guy's throat to get the bone. the arm also has a metal studded armband.

That's a good analogy, but the situation is more complicated than that.

Haven't played it yet, but it sounds good..maybe you could mail me a burned version...and a new computer too... (PII 355Mhz :p)

And no, you don't hafta pay...Where would you get that idea? The orcish armor is a game item.

Continued from Templest's thread.. Context is that the world would be better without idiot's who put down the less-physically-well-endowed.

Yeah, the world would be better without idiots like that. But beauty is mother nature's way of ensuring that the "strongest" reproduce. While nowadays, beauty doesn't always entail stronger genes, that's where it came from. Basically, if beauty never existed, we might not exist to be like we are today. But since it did exist, it carried over, so that now people with the luxury of abundant food and shelter can reproduce at will. Minus the pressure, people are out of how nature intended them to be.

Now that we have abundant food, anyone with money can buy it. Same goes for shelter. Now, all we need to do is get money and reproduce, which even the lowliest slobs in our society can do. Therefore, the weak slobs can reproduce too.

But in populations of wildlife where the prey outweigh the predators, or vice versa, entire populations die out; the prey eat all the plants, and starve, or the predators eat all the prey, and starve. With humans, we are at the top of the food chain; the only thing that kills us is disease and ourselves mostly. But now, we are inventing cures for diseases. I've always thought that disease was nature's way of keeping us down. So I think we're going the way of the situation I described above.

Now if we had never developed into a society like this, I think we would have been better off.

Also, I believe things like compassion and other emotions generally accepted as "human" emotions are perhaps just another habit that we have acquired. Just like smoking is now accepted, when before it may not have been common or accepted, compassion might have come the same way. Perhaps the compassionate homo sapiens lived to reproduce, and in such large numbers that now the majority of the human race has such feelings. Only a few, like the psychopaths, have active "apathy genes" that are recessive in everyone else. Maybe the world would be better off if we had a better balance of apathy and compassion genes.

Disease and apathy I think are the two things mother nature designed to keep the human population down; if we can fight things that kill us, and the thing that makes us kill each other, then we can reproduce without bound, eventually outstripping the resources and imploding upon ourselves.
