During the American Civil War there was, a one of the many of the battles, a lot of sporodic sniping going on from frontline troops.

"nonsense they couldn't hit a thing at this dist............."

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.

"And each mind that I peered into was stuffed with the same single object of obsession. That selfish and atavistic desire to pass on one's seed... it was enough to make me sick.

We have no past, no future. We live in the moment. That's our only purpose. Humans weren't designed to bring each other happiness. From the moment we're thrown into this world, we're fated to bring each other nothing but pain and misery." - Psycho Mantis (Dude that's my Avatar): Metal Gear Solid
