But ya see... what you are refering to is another highly inherent human trait. Its called greed and selfishness, this is why over the centuries man developed codes of ethics... though thier application seems vague. The line doesnt stagger only the personal application
for the "cultures" everyone is speaking of a simple application of their own infliction will soon find you floating in a river of tears laden with their code of ethics
history has more than enough proof of this as well
