Why so much hate and killing in the human race?

Humans are a violent race that plays at peace.

Case in point this year Americans will spend $651 BILLION a TRILLION with the wars and better ways to kill people. Is it any wonder health care has a hard time passing. Why save what we're spending hundreds of billions to kill.

Greed and power.

Recently a 10,000 year old mummy was found with an arrow in him. 10,000 years ago oil wasn't available neither was money as we know it. Land was plentiful as there were no nations. Yet someone opted to put an arrow in the poor bastard.

Because many have chosen to live their lives in the negative instead of striving for things that are positive. In this society people look at bullying and killing as a sign of strength but in reality the sign of strength is being able to use your minds instead of your guns.

Life is unique and precious...no doubt.

To see where hate and killing came from review the story of Cain and Able.

Cain was jealous of Able and the jealousy grew to hate and anger...enough for Cain to slay Able.

And so goes human history.

Our biggest flaw is our ego. That is the source of most of our problems. Greed, hate, and many of the negative attributes we have can be linked to it.

Because we are merely highly evolved primates with a greed and lust for money. It's all about money and materialism.

simple any race thatisnt good at killing dies out look at the american indians ad the australian aboriginals. It isnt greed its survival, to dominate is to live , to have children and your genes get passed on

Pretty much boils down to greed

Lou has it exactly right. We haven't evolved very far beyond our basic animal instincts for survival through agressive behavior.

Perceived scarcity of resources is the ultimate answer.

I agree with greed
