Can? Can? You can do better than that. Perhaps they can result in spontaneous combustion also, but they are not most likely to.
That's because humans have learned that co-operation and empathy are *generally* stronger survival tools than naked greed and aggression.
Yeah, as long as that empathy and co-operation is backed up by an army or police force with big guns. You crack me up. Girlie-man societies like the one we live in now are a drop in the historical bucket. This one won't last and we'll be back to the natural order of things.
Don't take what I said too far. Requiring men to defend their property, ability to procreate, and their lives has historically been the best way to ensure a strong species. However, this doesn't mean wonton raping, pillaging, and murdering. That takes a lot of energy anyway. It does mean that you take what you want when you want it. Gluttony toward any apetite is a distraction.
But if a tough guy wants your girl, I hope you have more than just talk about "co-operation and empathy being *generally* stronger survival tools" to defend her with.
Shalom.

It's called a Para Ordnance P-14. Built by a bunch of weenie Canucks. Can drop the biggest He-Man with one shot. As they said... God made man, but Sam Colt made them equal.
We live in a society where people who engage in sociopathic, violent behavior tend to have the full force of the law dropped on them. That's an example of co-operation: The thug down the road might be able to beat me over the head and steal my wife, but can he resist the SWAT team when it comes to arrest and/or kill him?
