(11,461 posts)You've chosen as your thesis that NDT is an idiot because he said that people kill each other based on language and culture differences. So you are asserting that people never kill each other based on language and culture (which includes religion, nationality, and economic issues like will we continue to exploit slave labor).
Your thesis is plainly wrong on its face. Every killing, from the individual to wars between industrial countries, can be traced back to cultural differences, at least in part. And sometimes they play a HUGE roll, especially in getting the rank and file all worked up for a war.
I'm not sure what any of that had to do with NDT's intelligence level. But I know that what you are asserting is completely stupid and ahistoric . And incorrect on its face. Unless you mean something entirely different by "culture". Maybe I just don't understand how you are using that word.
