Oh, I know I'm a bad person. Unfortunately, I'm not bad enough. Or I'd be a member of the elite that rule the world, not trying to educate naive idiots like you on an MMA website. But since my invitation to the Bilderberg Group hasn't arrived yet, let's continue with your education, young Padawan.

First. the only Knight's Templar in Scotland
(I DESPERATELY RAN TO WIKIPEDIA TO TL;DR THIS STUFF) a couple of hundred Knights, Sergents and Lay Brothers who had been hounded out of England by Edward II, after almost the entire Order had been wiped out by Philip the Fair, King of France and Pope Clement V. Hundreds of Knights had been arrested, tortured and executed, including the last Grand Master. The Order's vast wealth and land holdings had been seized - this was the reason Philip had forced Clement to declare the Templar's to be heretics in the first place.
(RUSTLED) Faced with being imprisoned, tortured and possibly burned at the stake, the Templars in England fled to the only country in Europe where the Pope's writ didn't run. Robert de Bruce, King of Scots, had been excommunicated(and by extension his kingdom along with him)and was in no mood to do the Pope any favours. (RUSTLED) Especially since he needed every man who could wield a weapon to fight for him in the Wars of Independence. A small number of ex-Templars fought for the Scots at Bannockburn, but the Order itself was extinct by then. (RUSTLED)The idea that there was a Scottish Order of Knights Templar, fighting for the poor oppressed masses like some kind of Tartan Jedi, belongs in a Dan Brown novel.
And no, I'm afraid the Holy Grail isn't buried under Roslin Chapel either.

As for the Geneva Convention preventing atrocities such as the use of chemical weapons - do you even Saddam Hussein, bro? Saddam killed nearly 5,000 Kurds with Mustard Gas in 1988. The world's reaction was a resounding, "Meh". (RUSTLED) No one gave a shit how many civilians Saddam gassed. If he hadn't gone Full Retard and tried to seize the oil wells in Kuwait, he might still be in power today.
Oh, and chemical weapons have been used in the Syrian Civil War already. And they will be used again. (RUSTLED)
Here's the thing: (RUSTLED) human rights don't matter. Humans themselves don't matter. Right and wrong, good and evil...moral positions have no intrinsic strength. (RUSTLED)The only thing that matters is being strong enough to enforce your will on others. What you have is what you take. What you keep is what you can hold on to. Nothing else matters. Your precious human rights and Geneva Convention are just so much toilet paper, (RUSTLED) because the people who have the power to enforce them aren't stupid enough to waste resources on saving people simply because it's the right thing to do. You might see starving women and children and think, "We have to save these people!" People like Obama, Putin and whatever Mao Clone is running the PRC right now will look at these same people and think, "I could save them...but what's in it for me?"
Power is the only truth. Here endth your lesson for today. (RUSTLED) No need to thank me.
