Default So, I saw The Eagle

Good movie. But pretty sad. I don't know human history very well, but damn. All it is, is war. I mean in the movie I couldn't even decide if I wanted the Seal People or Romans to win in the end. I've just spent my whole weekend thinking about how our history is nothing but war. Just one damn bloody time-line.

I mean the movie was 120 A.D., and even back then the "bigger" humans beat up the "little" humans. The tribes may have held the Romans back for a little while, but they never win in the end.

And when I was watching this movie I was thinking "Damn, so early A.D.'s, humans swept war across Europe. During this time, there were Native American and African tribes living "peaceful" (somewhat at least) lives. Then later in history, Humans moved on to Africa, South and North America, and Asia."

Every damn time. The "Bigger" more industrialized/advanced nation wins out. Our entire history has been killing each other. Why? We are pathetic. Killing each other for things like glory, honor, our "rights", freedom, oil, whatever, you can probably name a bunch of things. I'm sick of it. I'm ashamed. If some other alien race came to Earth, I think they'd leave pretty quickly after reading one of our history books.

I can't really explain how sad I am at our history. Humans spread across the world, killing each other, always under some great name, names like glory, honor, rome, freedom etc., but it's still killing.

I don't know human history well, like I said, but 2000 years of this BS is too much. I'm gonna do every damn thing in my power to stop it. I'm gonna start with peace, and end with peace.
