Violence; does it work?

[billy]

we're discussing violence in all it's forms so killing a cow chicken etc is a violent act how can it not be.
i'm sure if the 1st humans had nukes and could use them, they would i'd say 6000 year ago we would have been pretty barbaric. the Sumerian while smart weren't exactly friendly, they ruled with a strong hand, they were clever and lets face it the clever people are the ones who do most of the violence.
