Ferret...

Thanks for reminding me about the Maori... It's definitely a case for the sociologists out there to scratch their heads over.

It actually is true. The Maori are documented as fighting simply because they liked to. They would stop battles rather than destroy the other side, so that they'd have someone to fight later. They'd also exchange weaponry so as to have a 'fair' fight...

Makes one think about the base joys of humanity...
