America is larger and more diverse than all of Europe. I've lived in three different states so far and they're all very different. How can you stereotype a country with over 300 million people, especially when many of those people are immigrants from all over the world?
The "Americans are all Christian hillbillies in the Bible Belt who are fat and wear American flag shirts" stereotype is only believed by people who know nothing about our country.

283 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-7942 21:31

>>282 This is true. I'll add, though, that even we Americans like to stereotype our own country. People in Virginia think Californians are all liberal pot-smoking surfers. People in New York think Georgians are all bucktoothed hicks who make moonshine. People in Georgia think everyone in New York is an Italian gangster. etc. The US really is diverse. All Europe has on the US in that sense is way more languages and a lot more history and old rivalries.

Let me rephrase you: all Europe has on the US in that sense is way more cultural diversity. And don't worry, Europeans have just as many stereotypes for each other.

Also, Europe in its proper definition (not just EU) includes a few more countries, and Russia up to Ural mountains is one of them. Thus continent's total surface area is slightly more than the US.

Sometimes I remember a thought experiment we did in 11th grade Civics class. A handful of students were given roles to play, and the scenario was that they were all trapped on a sinking boat and the rest of us had to vote on who to throw off to save the rest, one at a time, until only one was left, who would be the one to survive. I think each one of them also got a bit of time to give their schpeal about why we should vote to let thhem stay on the boat. Their roles were mostly things like a pregnant woman, a teacher, an ordinary salaryman; but there were two that were very obviously supposed to end up as the last two on the boat: a scientist who had discovered the cure for cancer, and a diplomat who had discovered the secret to world peace.

So, when it came down to those two, the students overwelmingly voted to keep the guy with the cure for cancer, including me. And then the "correct" answer was revealed, that we were supposed to keep the guy with the secret for world peace. The logic being, that more people die in war than die of cancer, but that most of us had voted the "wrong" way because more people in the first world are affected by cancer deaths than war deaths.

I wanted to tell her, that that wasn't my motivation at all. I've never known anyone in my life who died of cancer. It wasn't that I wanted to get rid of cancer, it was that I didn't want to get rid of war. I couldn't think of how to put it into words then, but war is really the purging cataclysm that's needed in society every few generations. A very real incarnation of the belief in quite a few relgions who believe that when the world is at its most corrupt and foul and wicked, their god of choice will destroy it and make it anew. Or to put it in a more nihilistic way, just being a human life doesn't give it any intrinsic meaning, what gives human life meaning is struggling against other human lives. Societies advance through conflict with other societies.

Humans are inherently conflict-seeking. We didn't evolve to be happy and content with 2.5 children and a mortgage and a mid-sized car, we evolved to always want more, to search for new enemies to beat and new problems to overcome only to move on to the newest enemy and the newest problem once the old ones are taken care of. When there's no "real" problems left to take care of, people start inventing them, and the ones they invent are usually stupid ones. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if all the people going on their moral crusades about other people being mean on the internet or men spreading their legs too wide on the train had "real" problems to worry about like where their next meal is coming from, or artillery falling on their houses. Sometimes I think ISIS or the Nazis had the right idea, that there's no such thing as a futile conflict because conflict is what's true and meaningful.

I don't know, is that "edgy"?

I agree that humans are inherently conflict-seeking, so the idea of world peace is ridiculous and impossible. However, I don't think war purges blowhard assholes, it usually does exactly the opposite. If it's just a matter of keeping the population in check, I'd rather just have large, random portions of the human population die of cancer.

Anyway, I'd kill them both and keep the pregnant woman so I could have a threesome with her and her child. How's that for edgy?

> Humans are inherently conflict-seeking.

Yet armed conflict has been steadily decreasing since the 1940s. Further, your idea of evolution seems rather skewed. Evolution knows no improvement, only adaptation. We evolved to adapt to Earth's condition, not to spread dominion among masses. This misinterpratation was obviously very in vogue with Hitler and his political circle. He was pretty whack in the head, as you may know.

372 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-7952 21:56

>>371
I agree, I don't think humans are conflict-seeking in the slightest. In fact, I'd say it's precisely the fact that we've evolved not to seek conflict which is why we've gotten so far. Consider: if you locked a hundred chimps or apes who didn't know one another in a room, it'd be an absolute bloodbath; they'd be at one another's throats in seconds. If you locked a hundred modern humans who didn't know one another in a room, they'd probably just stand around having awkward small talk.

War is very much on the decline, and rightly so; it's wasteful, inefficient and ineffective at actually solving any social problems. I am very glad to see that the international community is now too strongly interlinked for organised war between major world powers. It's unimaginable, for instance, to imagine China going to war with the US, despite their ideological differences, because they depend too much on one another for trade. Similarly, most people in the first world are well educated and independent enough that they wouldn't support a war if there are sensible alternatives.

Most wars since World War II have been either civil wars in failed states or certain overzealous first world countries invading vastly less developed countries for dubious reasons, neither of which seem particularly meaningful or necessary. Incidentally, did you know that the Iraq War, besides being a huge waste of money and human life, was illegal under international law, yet nobody has ever even come close to being brought to justice over it?

> a sweeping generalization

It's not a sweeping generalization. It's a judgement that I make from reading statistics on worldwide, emphasis on worldwide, statistics on battle deaths, which is currently at the lowest point it's ever been. I got it from a chart that got its numbers from this thing http://www.hsrgroup.org/human-security-reports/2013/text.aspx
Even if I was making such a distinction between the developed world and the non-developed world, you're still dismissing that said "developed" world was very much involved in violent wars not too long ago, and them not being involved in armed conflict anymore would still point out to a waning of war.
And you can't just tell my I can't hand-wave evidence away when you didn't present any, what's that supposed to be.
