Are you arguing with anthropology? :P

My sweet summer child, what do you know about human nature?

What you perceive as "right", my student, is what you have been told to perceive as "right".

Here, in the third world, we consider employing children as soldiers immoral, "wrong". Whereas in other parts of our vast world, such as the Middle East, this practice has been both accepted and executed as practical, pragmatic, "right" -- they don't have the economy we do.

Today, we would consider throwing a man to the lions of an arena and telling him to survive for his freedom to be "wrong", whereas in Imperial Rome, gladiator matches were not only "right", but encouraged.

You look upon the world with a perception with which others indoctrinated you. Rejecting this mentality and embracing the fact that our world is not limited by idle fancies of "morals" is the only way to the truth.

You will learn, when the time comes. On that day, you will know that what characterises people as "human" revolves around three principles: thought pattern, cognotive process, and emotional response.

The way you react to certain things, adapt to them and the repercussions these events have on your psyche are what define who you are as a human.

But we shouldn't discuss this any further. While I may have initiated this conversation, I'll not be the one to maintain it any longer.
