Peaceful

 ...

Peaceful, bisexual, Bonobos?

Imagine an Israeli, or Palestinian, who is peaceful, forgiving and kind?

(Researchers from the University of Georgia carried out an experiment using a device that measured male erections.

(A gay scene was shown to males who claimed to be homophobic and to males who claimed not to be homophobic..

(80% of the homophobes had an increase in penis size when shown the gay scene.

(34% of the non-homophobes had an increase in penis size when shown the gay scene.



'Bonobos (Pan paniscus), an endangered species of ape found only in the DRC, have a reputation for being far more peaceful than closely related chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). But a new study Mouginot and colleagues have published in the journal Current Biology provides a more nuanced view. It shows that bonobo aggression does exist — they just channel it differently from chimpanzees.'

  1. My experience of life is that the most socially/emotionally violent humans are precisely those that claim that peace is the be-all-and-end-all.

    What they actually mean is that everyone must obey them, without question, or else.

    They aren't cooperative at all, they want everything for themselves. But they will dole out a few crumbs for those that kneel and fawn before them.
