Humans nature is at question here, you think I'm defeatist i disagree that why in the end the world ends up in conflict on all levels
Anyway i think this is getting off topic

I wasn't specifically talking about yourself but using your quote to illustrate what is a defeatist attitude. You maybe a very positive person but that never stops anyone from having doubts about something.
It's fine to debate on topics and agree or disagree, but that doesn't have to mean that we go out and then start shooting at one another. The reasons why people do that is because they're afraid and insecure about their own belief system, even if they don't admit it publicly or even to themselves. It's when that is manipulated by people wanting control over others, that it becomes dangerous.
And this isn't off topic, as this sort of debate goes right to the heart on the survivability of any civilisation...alien or otherwise.
