Hi ecu
re the pacifist question - it's not very well thought out, that's why I said tendency. I subscribe to CND and IFOR
http://www.ifor.org/ and Amnesty and other organisations against violence but am not very active really.
As far as the point about culture and war I wasn't separating the sexes in any way - I was referring to the whole culture. I'm not suggesting that men fight because they are men or anything like that - I was ruminating more about what it is in human culture that makes war so common.
No time to enlarge on the discussion at the moment. Time to get dressed!
