Seems biologically strange, as humans have always fought wars, but were the Germans genetically programmed to only defend what's good for Germans, and the Dutch only programmed to defend the Dutch?

What is the society in your conscience? Who are you programmed to care about?

Me, I hardly give a damn about kids in Africa dying and starving. I have never given them any of my dough, and I doubt that most of you have. You probably don't want to admit that to yourself, as you would sound like heartless assholes. But that might just be what we humans are, and our upbringing shows us who we should care for.

Me personally, I don't a fuck if a new Katrina kills a few thousand people, it sounds awful, but that is the way it is. I will see it on the news, but I don't have any relatives in New Orleans, so I won't shed a tear for the people there, just as I don't shed a tear for kids in Darfur, as long as I don't have to look at pictures. If I look at pictures, that might cause a tear, probably because I would project it onto myself.

I'll bring us back on track.

It is wrong, when I feel that it is wrong.

Now, Fes. What do you think makes an action wrong?
