If your arguments are based on empirical data and I love reason, why do I feel myself disagreeing so much?
Clearly, because you don't love reason, but rather your entrenched positions based on prejudice and bias.
I'm still waiting for actual examples of wars caused by jealousy caused by serious geographic imbalance. Your statements are rhetorical without any backing facts, and you mistake intent with result. The poor don't invade the rich.
