    violence is not universal. It is not symmetrically distributed throughout the human race. There are some societies that have virtually no violence. Others like ours are on the road to destroying themselves.

    Societies like the Amish, the Mennonites, The hutterites (hutterites have no recorded cases of homicide) have virtually no viloence.

    These societies raise there children right. They simply live a non violent life. Yes it is possible for a society to do this. (See my post on the science behind the genes above)

    A religious sect is hardly a country. The Amish community is totalitarian which does'nt have anything reslembling free will or fun.

    i know and i am not saying that we should just all go and join a sect. What i am trying to say is that the enviroment that children are brought up (not from birth but from pregency is normally the deciding factor in weather someone will go on to commite violence

    hahaha the million pound question. I havent a clue.

    First Question i would think is what type of goverment would this ideal society have?

    I serously dout if it would be a democrocy. At least not a democracy in the traditional sence. People in gereral tend to vote for the biggest dick head. Look at any goverment and tell me i am wrong. It isn't communisum or fasicism either.

    I honestly dont know but that is the first real question i would think. Doing anything else is really just putting another support under a house that is going to collaplse. We need a complete overhaul in my opinion

    No, but those are the consequences of having boring, restrictive society. Ever seen the movie "Demolition Man"?

    Well, the first thing you would have to do is address the issues of inequality, greed and ignorance. Massive and fair regulation of media and large businesses.

    The second is to find someone who puts the needs of the community before his own personal needs and is willing to lead.

    The third is to persuade people to let him do the job and not ridicule him because he makes tough decisions and doesn't bring back the death penalty. This is going the tricky bit.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Society has acceptable and unacceptable standards of behaviour.

    Everyone at some point in their life may fall below those standards and pay the price for it.
    If they strive to make themselves a better person and live up to that acceptable standard, they should be eventually welcomed back.

    If someone makes no effect to rise above socially and morally reprehensible behaviour, they should be treated as such.

    Nah, there was no where near enough venom and rank stupidity for that to be an anto-pinko post!
