actually,
history proves the first statement to be true. warrior societies, where people are armed and skilled at the use of those arms tend to be ordered by a rather strict code of conduct. it's an honorable death to die in battle but, it's a really stupid death to die for no better reason than that you are a real jerk.
nothing encourages politeness and respect for others as the knowledge that your asshattery may have terminal consequences. that's why the world is so chock full of buttholes, now. no consequences.
consequences really do dictate a person's course of action. for those who do not fear the poor regard of their fellow man or divine retribution in the afterlife, knowing your wrong actions could result in your own death has a way of inspiring respect for others. without that, such people feel free to act as they will and to stomp all over their fellow man.
anyone that has has to deal with a bully, in
school, and did so effectively understands this.
reminds me of a Tool song:
Someone told me once
that there's a right and wrong,
punishment would come to those
who dare to cross the line!
But, it must not be true
for Jerk-Offs just like you!
Maybe it
takes longer
to catch a
TOTAL *******!
I'm tired of waiting.

I should just play GOD and
shoot you MYSELF
TIRED OF WAITING, ohhhhh!
Consequences dictate,
my course of action and it,
doesn't matter what's right,
it's only wrong if you get caught.
If consequences dictate
my course of action, I should,
I should play GOD and just,
SHOOT YOU MYSELF!
TIERED OF WAITING!
I should!
Kick you!
Beat you!
F*** you!
Shoot
you
in
your
f***ing head!
