Violence has always been the easiest and most efficient way of getting what you want. Of course the trend is toward less violence nowadays but no amount of logic or reason or policy or law will reverse a dagger in the back.

I think very few people kill or go to war as something inherently desired. In most cases I think it is a matter of the end justifying the means. Which other people may or may not agree with.
Even Hitler didn't go after the Jews for the fun of it, but it was to "clean" the human race, helping evolution along in selecting for the genetically superior Germans. That it involved killing millions of people (albeit interior) didn't seem to bother him enough to not go through with it, but don't think it was done for the joy of killing. He was trying to help future generations.
For people that do enjoy it... Maybe some kind of power rush? Being able to kill people if the ultimate power in a way.

With regard to overall health, is someone who eats a lot of sugar (think 2 energy drinks a day plus chocolate plus pop to drink) worse or better off than someone who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day?
Say both people were healthy 20 year olds and both started their bad habits on the same day. Is one better off in the short term?

I think it depends on which health issues you care more about, and how fast they can be caused by these two scenarios. Diabetes vs. lung cancer and emphysema, for example, makes me think that in the long run, cigarettes are considerably worse for you... the effects of an incredibly high-sugar diet might occur faster, but they're much more manageable. I'm not a nutritionist or health expert, but I'd much rather deal with the sugar consequences instead of the cigarette consequences.

I think the person with the bad diet would probably be worse off and more complications, more quickly. Smoking, you'll hurt your heart, lungs, and throat with some misc thrown in there with long term risk of cancer and emphasize; bad diet will really mess up most everything and much faster imo. Extra stress on the heart, weight gain causing overall more wear and tear, diabetes, I think if you had a sampling of identical twins and said smoke up Johnny to the one and here is your twinkies to the other the latter would be much worse off within six months of the experiment.

the violence is normally a biproduct more than the main goal.
For example greed => war

I'm not sure I entirely agree with this, through eating healthy foods in addition to the sugary foods + exercising the sugar guy can counteract the negatives a lot easier than the smoker could right?

I forgot to mention, I imagine the twins are living moderately healthy lifestyles aside from the sugar/smoking.

Smoking is worse.

Our perception of the passion of time is not constant at all? However yes we measure it at constant, simply because otherwise it would be a pretty mess.

Because war is just the continuation of diplomacy. I don't think anyone actually enjoys it.

Smoking.

I'd guess smoking is worse. Then again, I work in cancer, so I may be biased.
Also depends on your measure, and the dose of smoking/sugar. Sugar is probably more manageable if you eat enough nutrients as well, and exercise enough to not get obese. Smoking harder to compensate for.
That said, both are pretty bad!

Ah, an important caveat then.

Ok, I guess that leads me to the question - how come? Are they too brittle to survive if they're dry?
