"I think it should be restricted to the two protagonists, invariably men. They have to go one on one and settle it without needless bloodshed of soldiers and innocent civilians. Zelenskyy would have taken Putin down, the latter may be a black belt but he’s old and apparently seriously underestimates his opponents. " | |||

"Nobody in their right mind wants war, but sometimes it's unavoidable. So to show someone that war is wrong you have to fight?? " No, you are not trying to show them war is wrong, you're showing them you will not give in to oppression/takeover by force of arms. Right or wrong is down to your own perception. | |||

Your posting is partially true, because Bonobos are not violent or aggressive; their social groups are dominated by a matriarch and crucially, they use sex recreationally and for preventing and settling disputes. Chimpanzees are the most violent and engage in cannibalistic raids on other groups. Gorillas are not really violent though males do fight to gain dominance and to retain their hierarchical position. By a very long chalk, humans are the most violent and being highly intelligent use tools, that they manufacture to fulfil their aggressive proclivity. We are a phenomenally destructive species, being the only primate which is capable to destroying the entire planet. | |||

"This is where I'll say Trump smashed it .. created peace in the Middle East for the first time in years .. created alliances and stopped threats from Russia and North Korea.. then minute he left bang ear back on .. not saying anymore I'll get a war on me for this haha " You hobestly think Trump created peace in the Middle East?!

"There's no profit in peace War is enormously expensive and often bankrupts the countries involved. Peace is far for conducive to capital growth." Yes. "War is enormously expensive". Someone makes a shit tonne of money from war. It's not any nation. It's not your or I. IE. There is a reason BAE, Lockheed, GDC, Boeing etc donate so much money to governments world wide. The single purpose of war is profit. | |||

Power will always corrupt humans, regardless of sex | |||

The simple fact is that all those arms manufacturers, supplies and equipment manufacturers make billions from war. Saying it's "nonsense" doesn't change that. | |||

Funny that I find just as many women driving aggressively these days. I don't think I buy into the 'women are gentle by nature' argument. Sociological bias I can agree with but that seems to be shifting. | |||

I see what you mean, but I think that is largely because modern thinking and social changes have eroded traditional and even basic human instincts and patterns of behaviour, although unfortunately they haven't similarly altered male behaviour much, it seems, except in some mainly negative ways! | |||

There are still plenty of dickhead blokes about for sure. In terms of war I think perhaps it's maybe more of an issue as to how easily people can be manipulated. This was very apparent during the pandemic as people quickly changed their stance according to what was in the media rather than using their own common sense. | |||

I know that I am not and can never be a real woman but since I became Lucy and have had mainly women friends my perspective and impressions have changed quite a lot, oddly enough. | |||

Yes, I am not delusional and know that however physically altered one might be or however feminised, and however feminine one may feel, it is not the same as being a real woman, but it is strange how many little things I find myself seeing 'through women's eyes', especially in terms of male behaviour! | |||
