All you have been arguing with were personal instances that we all have to put up with if we need to coexist with any human, irrespective of their race, location, religion or creed. One circumstance that could have made us peculiar(and hence which should be understandable and a drive for change) is the persistent instability, poverty, unemployment and intolerance between nations and nationalities. And it should also be vivid to you unless oblivious, that in cases where there is fierce competition for jobs, food, housing etc., its natural for a being to start to reflect their animal side. Which by the way makes you the latest addition.
