in certain areas of the globe, Africa and the middle east for instance are not peaceful by any means and yet are not more violent than the past... it's about intellect Mutt.
low intellect/IQ results in poor impulse control, which results in violence in most instances... think of someone with the IQ range of 70-80 as a 12-14 year old while the average for Americans, or rather the past average for Americans is 100, think of that as an adult.... in most cases an adult has more impulse control than a 14 year old. not necessarily any better ideas but less likely to 'act' irrational ...
