interesting concept! survival of the fittest, eh? :thumbsup:

what about buddism though? it seems peaceful enough yet it survives. tis a paradox. i suppose theres an exception to any rule.

with these kind of statistics we could assume that any alien race we encounter in the future would be very well armed. combine that with any religons tendancy to see other points of view as inferior

perhaps though, once a group is able to defend itself well enough by going through this warlike stage it only then has the option to revert back to a peaceful nature. hopefully
