The best known human trait is the attitude my way or the highway. All of your comments describe behavior that happens all over the planet. Humans are extremely lazy. One day we will realize that there are others out there and we missed our chance for survival while we were all having it our way. Religion is a perfect example of this and it follows that other religions have to be wrong or corrupting. Might as well go to war or beat someone up because of religion.

How many of you have figured out that the person next to you is also human and maybe you could get together and work on a better life for each of you? But then again it is so much easier sneaking around behind them and getting their money or property rather then working together to build enough for each of you.     --By
