I'm pretty primative, if its unknown to me, I approach with discrimination and caution. Why? Instinct says that things that are unknown contain unknown threats, fear. Will I kill or destroy something merely because I don't understand it? If I can't avoid it or observe it safely then yah, nuke it. That odd looking bug on my table with strange colors and a wierd antenna, it could be harmless but I can't have the fooker roaming around my home and turn out highly poisonous, I smash the sucker.

Does this mean I'll kill the first blue human being I encounter? no, because its obviously humanoid but you can bet I'll have both eyes on that sucker as he wonders around my world, until I'm certain the blue man is safe. Thats totally discriminatory based on color/appearance. Discrimination based on appearances, natural evolutionary trait of self-preservation.

Familiarity generally means "no suprises". In terms of breeding, mating, coupling of peoples, lotta times "Opposites Attract" too. Ying/Yang, ballance of equations, bla bla bla.

Human beings, regardless of upbringing, cultural influences or outside influences have an odd inner sence of right vs wrong. This boils down to self-preservation instincts and grows from there. If the culture you're raised in is murderous and evil, there is a high likelyhood nobody survives, follow that logic thru to conclusion.

bla bla bla bla, enjoy life, its very short.
