Zhortac 1,474 February 21, 2014 Share February 21, 2014 No they aren't. People need to quit using the phrase "by nature" because it's just abused now. If I went and found a human raised from birth in nature, I doubt he'd give a damn about vengeance so much as the next meal to hunt or harvest. Vengefulness is learned, not natural. Humans are animals. Aside from a higher rung on the evolutionary ladder, there is no great difference. What works on a dog will work on a person, it will just need adjustments. And again, only one of those options involves violence. Yes, after cliched platitudes fail and if the other options don't stick, violence is the last resort. I'm going to assume, you have no idea what "by nature" means in this context. "Nature" also refers to the world around you, regardless if it's a bunch of trees, or New York City. Society is an influence on human nature, in this age. People have been lead to believe over the last 100 years, that if anyone does anything to you, do it back 10 fold. That is a form of nature as well, it doesn't only mean "untouched natural land". Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me. I've had bad luck when I start a conversation, so I more then likely won't start one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

applejackson007 58 February 21, 2014 Share February 21, 2014 Well, that is a great idea I think, and if i've learned anything from being on the forums, it's that you've always got your brony bros (and sisters) to back you up, and I think it's really inspiring to see even just that "Death is the sound of distant thunder at a picnic." - Storm Crasher Banner by 0blivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sorry, no. You don't get to just arbitrarily redefine words. "People have been lead to believe over the last 100 years..." - And what led them? Cultures long since removed from nature and growing more separated by the year. Human nature is exactly that: What is natural for humans, what humans (and, indeed, many other animals) will do independent of society's influence. Naturally, humans do not possess vengeance as some immutable or innate instinct. It is an unnatural society that brings that to the table.

Since, you quite literally suggested earlier, that "terrorism" is a viable option to prevent bullying, and are raging because you not only don't understand what I was talking about, but doesn't fit your definition of anything in your mind, I'm just going to not continue this. Good day sir. Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me.
