Is it the duty of the strong to protect the weak or subjugate them?

@SW-User i am NO Optimist! all i have learned from the study of history is that most times, most places greed violence and oppression win.
Our world is demonstrating this in our time.
I despair, that what we have gained in America, is being eroded by those that crave power over others.
we can only choose to act, and I suggest that we do so, with great caution, and reciprocity

@Amylynne what we can do is to save ourselves

@SW-User Yes, and those who have proven themselves worthy of our company and support, that is FAR from everyone.

@bijouxbroussard Because the weak are weak because of their own life choices and physical/intellectual capacity. They are below the strong. They won't fight for their own interests. Therefore they will be utilized to strengthen ours.

@Arzawa Yeah, that’s just an excuse for tyranny. And there is always someone bigger, stronger and smarter. Doesn’t mean they deserve to rule you. I completely disagree.

@bijouxbroussard Indeed. That is why we must become stronger. The weak are ruled. The strong rule. Taking American History into account. The Natives were weak. Being disconnected from other human populations made them susceptible to disease carried by our ancestors. Their reduced numbers were no match for the onslaught of European invaders.

African Americans are descended largely from peoples that were weak or defeated in battle. Their overlords sold them to Europeans in exchange for weapons. They were further subjugated in America by a people that didn't see them as human.

Weakness is never a virtue. Weakness is suffering.

@whowasthatmaskedman Weakness can't be tolerated.

@CountScrofula Depends on the place. In a democracy the people who are weak and pathetic often elect their reflection.

@CynicGirl Physical, intellectual, whatever allows you to thrive in your society.

@SW-User You're right. it's to sodomize them.

@Spitbak Why? Shouldn't that be Punish the Guilty?
