Just proves that war, especially an offensive war, is an emotional act, not
a rational one.

It proves no such thing.

I think most human decisions are emotional.

Do you think so or emote so? How do you know?

Humans use
their rational brains mostly for doing things like inventing, creating.

But not writing posts.


Everything else is in the emotional, animal brain. I always thought if we
did away with love, and just liked instead, the world would be a lot better
off.

I've always thought that if we did away with thinking we'd be a lot better off. But there you go.
