I'm kind of happy we've actually mostly progressed on that - people used to resolve these disputes through fighting, mass rioting, and the occasional murder, which, while certainly still around, is much rarer than it was, say, 50 years ago. I'd argue that since things take a lot longer to come to blows, we take longer than we should to resolve issues and people with mild complaints feel much happier dragging these previously too-stupid-to-mention issues to mass protest. Who cares, though? Mass protest, as long as it's nonviolent, costs society nothing. It is a peaceful means of expressing a view. Disagree with that view all you want; you can think it's dumb if you must. But it is infinitely preferable to people being attacked, beaten, or killed simply for holding an unpopular view. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:885778141] in Trana folk...
