Violence

[HoreTore]

The point being that we're referring to a particular sort of lifestyle...

The amazonians have about as much in common with the Swedes as they have with the Guineans, hence my objection.

Of course, I'm not obliged to take your definitions for granted.

Anyway, you might as well use the entire world instead of a single tribe; after all, has there ever been even a second i n the past 10,000 years where (taking a very loose definition of war) not one human was seeking to inflict harm upon another?

To say that war by any definition is continual is a truism.

To say that war by any definition is continuous develops a fabulous image of humans who devote every instant of their conscious existences to fighting or hating some enemy.

Either way, "endless war" is a phrase fit for the gutter.

This has nothing to do with any of what I have said.

Of course, "nature" and "nurture" are one and the same, so trying to set them in opposition to each other is a rather fruitless endeavor.

The "outside factors" and "frameworks" now spoken of arise as a direct result of human biology, and any effects they have, whether direct or indirect, are effects on (biomechanical) humans.

One can not hope to explain or predict the flow of ocean currents by studying raindrops or clouds.

"Now spoken of"...? I used "outside factors" in my very first post in this thread. In fact, it's the starting point of my argument here. Methinks you've come into this thread a little late....
