Is it normal we don't do a better job at defending the sanctity of life?

Things like abortion, the death penalty, bombing civilians in wartime. All these things destroy human life, but people act like it's somehow fine. Well, I don't think any of those things are good.

      I'm sorry, I was not considering eldritch beings from beyond the void. That was insensitive of me.

      Even then, it depends on the circumstances. Theres a big difference between oops we didnt mean to bomb civilians and being isis terrorist that will explode 80 people in a suicide attack because most of those people had a slightly different religion.

  • We do the same to other species, so it is poetic justice. Humanity will never find peace neither do they deserve to.

      Do you honestly think if lions or another animal was raised to humanities position they would be nice?

      Humanity is neutral, neither good nor evil. Humans are just animals that got the farthest along. If you go to an alien planet I would be far, far more surprised if they where a 100% peaceful throughout time civilization.

      We will never find peace because we are too individualistic as a species to be capable of doing so. We dont have a hive mind, no matter what goverment is put in place theres always an X factor with people independently choosing what's best for themselves.

    Since humanity collectively did worse and the time we call "violent" is actually the most peaceful time in human history.

    Think about 500 years ago. You could of been...

    A slave that was on their journey to get brutally sacrificed for a sun god.

    Getting the bubonic plague and bleeding from everywhere imaginable.

    Having an amputation with rusty saws and only a shot of whiskey and a heavy object as a relief.

    Be in agony giving birth where it was a 20% chance you were gonna die and your child has about a 1/3 chance to make it to adulthood.

    Getting your legs blown off by a cannonball and the 20 or so people were behind you being shredded.

    In a village that lost a seige and the invaders are now actively raping and killing everyone you knew and loved, pillaging as they went along.

    In the modern day there are BILLIONS of us where every year 65 MILLION people die. So yeah the amount of death and dismemberment might be at an all time high but for the majority of us we get to enjoy the most peaceful time in human history.

      Peaceful? Lol no. It may not be as bad as 500 years ago, but these times are no better. It is nowhere near "peaceful".

          Of course I know about humans, you idiot. It is TRUE that it is currently no better than 500 years ago.

            It's a heck of alot better than any point in human history. Hell theres evidence of genocide in 8000 BC

            Genocides are now rare which is better than most of human history.

            So yeah not completly peaceful but also not as violent as it normally is. So peaceful.

              Far from peaceful. It may not be like it was 500 years ago, but definitely nowhere near peace.
