Yes, welcome to Earth.
There's absolutely no morality in deciding to be weaker than you have to be. If you are eaten by a predator when you had the option not to be eaten, you're not some high-minded righteous peace-lover, you're simply dead.

- tastyface 7mo agoThis directly contradicts most religions, which the people with the biggest weapons somehow claim to follow.
- tjwebbnorfolk 7mo agoI must be missing your point. You're talking about a thought / belief framework. I'm talking about how the world actually works. In any fight between theory and practice, practice always wins.
- tastyface 7mo agoThe world largely moves forward through cooperarion, then regularly regresses through violence. I have no desire whatsoever to undermine and bludgeon my neighbors in order to come out on top. Anyone who feels this way should probably be institutionalized for the safety of society at large.
- tjwebbnorfolk 7mo agoNobody is talking about you bludgeoning your neighbor. The point here is that there's no reason to leave your doors unlocked if you have the option of locking them. There's no reason to be weaker than you have to be. Our military is and should be strong. If a company is willing to help them be stronger, I don't know why we'd be against that.
