1) Tribal societies, despite widespread misconception, are not societies that live in harmony with nature. They just use significantly less resources than developed cities and nations because they don’t have access to iPods, iPads and smart phones, and other nonsensical devices that are not required for survival. They also number far fewer than many human groups, and therefore use less resources as a result. Of course they’re going to ‘know how much to use’, which is false considering these people probably don’t even know what the definition of an ecosystem or an environment even is. 

2) As Shien has pointed out, nature is not a tranquil place filled with butterflies and pixies, and where humanity is the only species on the globe that is capable of great ‘evil’ deeds. Contrary to popular belief, lions are not noble creatures that should be admired [i]only[/i] for their strength, valor or purity; these attributes are nothing more than the idolizations of various human cultures that held great ignorance regarding how lions [i]really[/i] conduct themselves in the wild. The animals we share our world with do not subscribe to our definition of morality, because it is simply not applicable to their mental processes, their lifestyles or their intrinsic quest to survive. The larger outside world cares little for concepts of right and wrong. Malkor-Kurz, having been written as a realistic landscape with relevant hardships (and a place that is largely devoid of human influence), is no exception to this rule.

3) Del-korm can sustain themselves, but they are competing with other predators for food—including one another. Resources are limited and time is finite. This is no different than when humans compete with one another for a single open job position at a newly-opened firm. One person will get this job, while the others will be forced to look elsewhere for work. The job hunt at large can become absolutely menacing and bloodthirsty when positions (food) in a city or town (forest, plains or mountains) are limited due to a stagnant economy (a set amount of prey creatures present in a given radius).

4) Ritualistic cannibalism is taboo in many human societies, but not all. Are these people evil for practicing their religious beliefs? Are the ancient Inca and Aztec civilizations worthy of damnation because they practiced human sacrifice to pay homage to their deities? What about people in Asia who consume dogs? Are they evil for eating a creature that Americans consider “Man’s Best Friend”?

5) In regards to the maggot/virus statement—that can very easily be used to describe deer, grey wolves or humans. Other ‘pest’ creatures, like rats or mice or even cockroaches, come to mind. Any animal that has reproductive capability can become a destructive burden on the surrounding land that it occupies if given the chance. Like I’ve said, the Earth is huge and has a lot of food, water and raw materials to sustain the human species for a [set] around of time, but even presently, there isn’t enough of everything to go around for everyone without [b]extremely[/b] adverse environmental or economical consequences occurring. I mean, could you imagine if all seven billion of us had access to an automobile? 

6) No, del-korm are not one-hundred percent loyal to one another. Humans aren’t either. The only time this changes is when Malkor-Kurz (or the del-korm race as a whole) faces invasion or extermination from an external (or internal) threat, because now it’s a battle between literal species, not like-minded peoples of vaguely-similar societies that share similar physical appearances.

@Yosuha 

Perhaps. That depends on what Dark says, though I should maybe note that the only two del-korm in existence that can use magic are Aeon and Claw. If such an ability did come to pass, it would only be in possession of Claw and his mother. 

@Dark

Well, in that case, I guess they could simply believe that an afterlife doesn't exist. It would add more depth and content to some of their philosophical, religious and ideological beliefs anyway.

Also Cthulu, no one's arguing, and the discussion isn't chaotic. I'm actually enjoying this talk, because it's introducing me to different viewpoints. These are the kind of things I want to see happen in the IC thread too. 

It's healthy is what I'm saying, if that makes sense.
