This is a good point. I wonder what percentage of mass shooters are Laker fans. Bet it is very high. barfo
You said some. So that means that we all aren't inherently evil and if left to our own devices we'd be ok and not destroy one another.
Do not believe, and this is something you may not know, that people are inherently evil. We believe people are inherently good.
Suuurrre... It's logical to think every man for himself? Y.O.Y.O. You're On Your Own This will never work in any society.
If you don't think of what you can do for yourself you're stuck relying on others. No thanks. If I do get help from someone I actually do appreciate it unlike most people. I don't even ask for help when I move. The wife and I have moved 3 times in the last 17 years and family asked if we needed help and I said no.
That's clearly illogical. Some people are inherently good and some aren't. Not sure why you want to make a blanket statement like that with all the evil in the world.
Would you say there are more good people than bad? Riiiight. So with all the evil in the world you agree that there is more good. The only reason why you see all the bad is because that's what keeps us glued to the screen. There is MUCH more good in this world than bad.
More good than bad? Sure. If you take into account how we are raised now and that we have laws and words for concepts of morality. Way more people act properly knowing they're being watched and judged. That means very little when it comes to the nature of human beings. We haven't evolved, we've become more of a group with rules. Harvey Weinstein isn't unique in his desires, he's slightly unique in his position of power and choice to ignore the rules.
More than 60 percent of people in this country who die from guns die by suicide. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/22/health/us-suicide-rate-surges-to-a-30-year-high.html Murder by gun is still declining steadily as it has for decades. It is currently lower than at any time since I hit puberty. Any attempt at stirring up outrage for this non-existent surge in murder by gun is a clear Fake News Op with ulterior motives.
