Chris you are a cow. I have never managed a nice comment from paki but when you complemented one of mine I was so proud. After you praised this I am no longer proud.

Falls down a bit when the child has a particularly accident prone parent which it has to repeatedly risk its life to save its parent. And in evolutionary terms parents are less useful than their offspring (until they themselves become parents). Also complicated in that a parent can protect a number of its offspring at once. Therefore the effectiveness of such altruism would depend on the number of offspring. Anyway in conclusion doug is a dunce. I would also advise anyone suggesting demarcating areas of human behaviour (Doug) to look at how the brain functions. Try hitting someone with a hammer in order only to disrupt their speech (clue:- you can't). Someone told me brain function was relevant to psychology, maybe not in america.

Thank you, Dark Angel...... You are so sweet. Love, Doug

Thank you dark Angel...... Love, Doug

PLEASE NOTE ABOVE.

Dear Dark Angel: I agree with you as you do have a very good point. However, as you can see, I did make provision for your well-made point in that man, having been "melded into society/socialized/brain-washed" is, I feel, moved, by the evolutionary force, to cooperate with those within "his own family" (his national group) in order to defend himself/his group of fellows by killing the enemy.......... in order to survive. Love, Doug

Your support is all that's needed to gain you a lucrative post, perhaps on the Atomic Energy Commission.

Thanks for the insight. Perhaps it’s true that we each have a soul, and it makes us who we are in spite of our efforts. Perhaps I’m enslaved by that soul and its controlling deity, kicking against the goads. I’d rather say I’m open-minded and ready to consider opposing forces even while looking a fool in the conflict.
