re: #63 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Seems to be the case, all too often. We kill one guy, only to inspire his father, his brothers, his sons, even his wife and daughters, to take up arms to “avenge” him. In some cases, they didn’t even believe in the whole fundamentalist BS, they’re simply doing it to fight against his “murderers.”

Avenging a family member is a solemn obligation in many cultures.

Recall this story, which was posted yesterday. And this dude’s a rugby player from South Africa.

The need to revenge goes deep, and in many societies is not optional.
