  1. Many do!


  2. intimidation

  3. It's easier to adopt a might-makes-right attitude when the person knows that they are wrong, but still wants what they want.

  4. Why can't people exercise correct grammar?  It's always an important question.

    Some people would say that those base emotioms, frustration and anger, are deeply ingrained in evolutionary survival.

    The species Cro-Magnon man was wiped out by Homo habilis because Cro-Magnon man didn't figure out how to swing a club as quickly.  BOOM!  One potential evolutionary player completely wiped out.

    Sometiems violence IS the answer.  Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived.  It's used because it works.

    *EDIT*

    I'm not saying it's the ONLY answer.  I'm saying that people are a naturally aggressive species when it comes to ensuring their own survival.  I bet if you were in a situation where it was a kill-or-be-killed scenario, you would choose to inflict damage on a person who was a threat to your life.  There are many problems that are solved through peaceful mediation, but for every Siddhartha, you have a Hitler or a Pol Pot who seeks their own gains.  

    And, yes, your question had terrible spelling/grammar...

    "Why don't people solve problems using THEIR brains?"

    "HAVEN'T HUMANS come to a stage in THEIR bran WHERE they can use THEIR mind for problems."

    I assume you are not a native English speaker.

  5. ????

    Uh, a lot of people do use their brains to solve problems. Not everyone uses weapons, starts wars, hits, or screams as a means of dealing with their problems.

    Why are there people who DO use those things? Is that what you're asking?

    That's a big, complex question. If you want to understand these things, then you could understand them much better than you currently do. There's a lot of work (much of it in psychology rather than sociology) that sheds light on these phenomena.

    But there's no way to give accurate answers on this forum, except to say that people who primarily use violence, were primarily raised in violence.

  6. Which 'people' are you referring to.

  7. They are using their brains and if all problems were ideological and could be solved just by thinking they would. But some are physical like person A) having more resources that person B). Logically if person a) likes his resources and doesnt increase his utility by handing them over he wont person B) will need to use force.

    All human history is the struggle for resources by different groups maybe if resources were fairly distributed this wouldnt be an issue. however people have tried this and always there have been elites who hoard resources and exploit others  through the social power of having these resources to increase their utility. We would hope we could overcome these but as long as the physical problem of inequality exists there will be voilence and struggle between nations and classes and indeed two brothers fighting for the remote(individuals)

  8. For the same reason they can't spell, too lazy.

  9. Because they're weak minded and have no problem admitting defeat by doing such things.

  10. because they dont have brains.
