#1 "Imran blames violence on PPP, MQM and ANP"

imran is blaming violence on the Alphabet? Who knew?

Do you ever get the impression that Paki politics is like the sex-life of insects.? ( you dont really want to know).

#2 Perhaps it's our different backgrounds, Mr. de Medici, but I find the behavioural instincts that insects have evolved to reproduce less horrifying than some of the things that men deliberately do to one another.

#3 I suspect Mr. dM has the view point of the male Latrodectus, it's awful, but fun, then awful again.

#7 Trailing Wife, you are absolutely correct about human behavior. Its predictable with exactly what we are. You think it cant get any worse and then you look in the mirror and see yourself and you know what you are capable of. And there is no place to go and you cant escape yourself either. And the older you get the better you know yourself.

maybe one man in ten can kill another man. Maybe six in a hundred can be trained to do it. But there is also that one man in a hundred sooner or later who likes it. And once you find out who that man is, its too late.
You know what eventually happens? The whole Company knows who it is and both Platoons use him...they do....like a cheap vacuum cleaner. They work a system to herd all the work to him. They catch the prey and then they look at him and send him to finish the job. They find and fix the enemy in place...and then send that one man to complete the work.

And he does it. One in the kitchen through the side window.
Two in the living room with a grenade. Two more in the back bedroom with another grenade and then mopup. And the last one running for the top of the stairs. Nobody left upstairs. Then you start isolating the next house, all systematic....

Of a hundred men maybe six do 85% of the kills. And one man likes it.

Eventually the Sniper recruiter comes around and introduces himself and asks you to come visit their unit this evening. And you go. They send you to school if you reup. And there is a serious bonus too. What are you going to do as a Civilian? Work in the garden on Saturday and do Monday to Friday 9 to 5 selling Linoleum or Insurance? Or "police work" and wear a tie?
Or Walmart supervising the pallets at the warehouse, busy busy busy?

You will never be any good for anything but what you do and everybody knows what that is. You can see it in their faces.

#8 BS de Medici. I've known snipers and they don't fit your description and I doubt the recruiting targets do either. Some may fit your description, but not all. Which is the majority? I doubt yours. There just aren't ass many psychos as you.
