Then I simply argue that you cannot prove my argument is false

Actually upon reading your assertion again, you can't prove your assertion is correct. For you to do so would require proving that all acts of violence were caused by emotion. Good luck doing that, especially since many acts were done by dead people and by animals which many, we do not know if they have emotions. Furthermore, given our lack of knowledge about what else may exists out there, you can't prove your assertion in the form that it exists now.

You COULD prove that most human violence is caused by emotions. But your assertion of all violence is rather sketchy. At best it is an opinion.  


I can provide plenty of examples of emotion causing war, so I have evidence that war is caused by emotional beings, not any other type of being, artificial or otherwise.

Just because someone went to war doesn't mean they did so because of emotions.

Actually, it's rather easy, because humanity is driven by emotion. Everything is done for emotion, even logical decisions are based off a need, and need is self-preservation, which is a love of one's self enough to ensure it's well being. You can program a robot to roll off a cliff, and it will do it over and over, because that is the only action it knows, it doesn't care about itself to do otherwise.

All violence IS caused by human emotion, usually caring, of something else or themselves(self-preservation), the only way it could be not, is if someone could possibly kill someone else, without feeling a single thing, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, and no matter how hard one tries, it would be impossible, just because of the structure of the human psyche.

Come again?

Everything? Need does not equate to emotion. I may be hungry but that doesn't mean warming up left overs is due to emotion.

So if I accidentally hit someone, that was caused by human emotion?

How are you defining violence?

Actually, lol, yes, you heat up left-overs because it's a means of self-preservation, aka, caring of one's self.

If you'd pay attention to the context, this has nothing to do with accidents.

Oh heating up leftovers. You don't have to heat them up, you heat them because you want to.


Nt all violence however is caused by emotion, some things are honestly just pure chance but for the other 99.9 times out of a 100 emotions are the cause.

lol.

Physical needs are not all emotions. If I am tired and want to sleep, is that an emotion?

You haven't defined violence.
