Eh! Humans are humans and funnily enough we're at the height of our best behaviour, though folk'd never believe you if you told them. We're treating each other better than we ever have, atleast in the west and atleast for now. I mean you have the holocaust and folk only rage about that because it was the Germans, a very civilised decent folk who did it, Stalin and Mao killing everyone in sight, well there's no surprise there since that's China and Russia all over and has been since the days of old Ivan the Terrible and such. But the Germans!! No, I mean NO!! They're so civilised!! But they did it which just goes to show you. so what do I think of humanity? Well, that if we work together we are capable of most terrible and wonderful things. Neither are mutually exclusive to the other. Hitler killed all those people and yet he built the Autobahn. No man is completely evil and no person is ever the sum of the greatest or the most terrible thing they've ever done.

@Allelse I used it as an example .I picked it cause I know a lot of people would know what I was talking about.As I couldn't name all the shocking fckd up things humans all over have done, it was meant to represent them .they are in the same group.

I did the same with the charity organisations to represent the good side.I didn't pick a name because Im sure people debate on which charity is authentic or not

Did you miss the point of my reply?

@Allelse No I was about to reply to that part now.I just needed to lead with that you seemed bugged by it.

[c=#009E4F] though folk'd never believe you if you told them. [/c]I liked how you said this it's funny but true.

As for that other thing, you mentioned I personally don't think it's a civilised issue but a popularity issue.Some tragedies are going to be more talked about than others like the way celebrities with equal talent one will always be on top.
Otherwise, all we would be talking about is the list you mentioned below plus more that happened and is happening.

[b]if we work together we are capable of most terrible and wonderful things.[/b]
I agree with this but also would like to add together and alone.

Hahahaha! No I wasn't bugged by it at all, I think you chose two great examples! :D Folk who HATE humanity always ignore when humans do charitable things and folk who LOVE humanity always forgot about things like the Holocaust, the Rwandan Genocide and Genghis Khan.

And you're right, even on our own we can do great, and terrible things. Nice thing to add :D
