go over it again? clarify your position. enlighten us.
People are inherently good. It's in our genetics. Some are defective, making them violent and intolerant like yourself and your friends, but most are good.
From an evolutionary perspective, this makes good sense. A tribe of humans who are constantly fucking each other over or murdering one another will not survive. A tribe where members are cooperative and work for the betterment of the tribe is more likely to survive.
IMO, the bleeding hearts have done the human race a disservice by saving the stupid and the violent instead of letting them die or remove themselves from the gene pool. I'm against helmet and seat-belt laws for this very reason; it preserves the stupid to procreate and create more stupid people. Better to just let them die.

Scientists Probe Human Nature--and Discover We Are Good, After All
Recent studies find our first impulses are selfless
Throughout the ages, people have wondered about the basic state of human nature—whether we are good or bad, cooperative or selfish. This question—one that is central to who we are—has been tackled by theologians and philosophers, presented to the public eye by television programs, and dominated the sleepless nights of both guilt-stricken villains and bewildered victims; now, it has also been addressed by scientific research. Although no single set of studies can provide a definitive answer—no matter how many experiments were conducted or participants were involved—this research suggests that our intuitive responses, or first instincts, tend to lead to cooperation rather than selfishness.
