Time for my analysis of what you have said/typed wolf-larsen.
First, lets look at this:

Not a whole hell of a lot. Have you ever seen a deer or other prey animal walk up to a hunter and say"Please shoot me?" Have you ever seen plants just pop up out of nowhere, ready to be harvested? Have you ever seen fabric sew itself into clothes?
1: Lets look at the deer statement. Here's my question to you, Would you like to go to a predator and lie down ready and willing for it to kill and eat you?
2: As for the plant, i'm so sorry nature has to be logical and have things grow by gathering things they need and living and just not spontaniously creating themselves out of thin air. (sarcasm)
Simple truth is things won't manage themselves. If you want it then you have to get it. Food can be easily gotten if you actually consider this(for purposes of this please think of this in a forest). In nature animals just eat the fruit, which usually contain seeds or just one seed. They usually eat the seeds and they become planted elsewhere where they grow and produce more. But us being the human race as we are don't go around and pick food. We stay in located areas and grow our own because it is conveniant to us. Food would be easily accessible if we were more like regular animals that don't depend on located vegetation supplied by other humans with our agriculture techniques.

Now have you seen an invention lately that saves lives and nothing else? Of course you have. Its called Plastic, and there is a multitude of other things like it. Now with that in mind, how many invetions have you seen soley to destroy life? More than life saving ones I can tell you that.
1: Yes, i agree there MAY be more inventions to kill than to save with humans nature to dominate. But there are quite a few to save. Lets list some.
To save:
1: Vehicles used to transport people to hospitals or where life saving techniques may be performed.
2: Vaccines of numerous types for numerous diseases.
3: Life support machines
4: Plastic (as you put it)
To kill:
1: Guns of numerous types
2: Mobile arsenal machines
3: Bombs
(i put them in vague descriptions as they are all basically weapons that kill using very similar ways)
It seems to me that even though there are many variations to the technology we use to kill each other there are also many things we use to help each other. You can't just say we kill. I am usually one to go in an argument and point out all the ways the human race is a smoldering race that has many chances of throwing ourselves into deaths row but you are giving us too little credit.

And as far as that goes, how many people do you meet that would save a persons life rather than take it? I can tell you, I can walk out of my room into the street and ask an average, or if you prefer, random person, and they can probaly list anywhere from three to fifteen people they would like to see dead, ranging from the president to that crazy woman down the street with the cats."
1: this is just my own opinion but how many people would they REALLY want to see dead. It;s easy to say "i want them dead" because they annoy or anger the heck out of you but whenever i play around with a person who says "I wish they would die" (by saying in response "okay, i can get you a weapon and we'll kill them. I'm serious it's easy and we won't get caught." ((though i will not be serious i may act serious until they come to their senses))) they withdraw what they say and state it was not meant literally and was meant as more of an exspression of how much they dislike them.
2: You do not say of the people that will help to save people. How about the many people that donate blood or organs? What about the doctors that see much blood and many cases of human tragedies and sufferings? What of the people who donate money to organizations and to those on the streets in need of it?(as for the charities it may be for publicity so it may not always be true for big donaters) There are alot of people that may help others and donate a little of them so that the others can have a better life?
Example: There may be many people starving in Africa but there are many people that are willing to help. Such as in my school we raised over 7000 dollars for food for Africa. We even had lunched that would be sparse and just rice and some beans that the starving African people would eat so we can become more sympathetic.
My overall analysis:
Some of my personal opinions is that human corruption is somewhat based off of our need to dominate and our attachment to material things and also out of our dependence on technology. If we were like the animals our air would be cleaner(as our none-existant technology will not be putting a lot of smog and pollutants into out air on a day-to-day basis just so we can produce or do things faster and easier). We wouldn't need to work for things, as food and water would be already available and as we would, in this scenario, be animals we wouldn't need much else. maybe weapons that would be easy to create.(as you made such a big deal of this). We wouldn't be fighting much more if we weren't so attached to material things. We don't need almost any of the things we have. Have you ever seen fear factor? Well they humiliate themselves and create anger amongst them and the other contestants just for materials they don't need. People will do some horrible things for material possesions they just don't need! Yes, i beleive the human race, in general, is very corrupt with little hope thus far. But we are not as horrible as you have put it so.
note: i am sorry if what i say makes me seem like a complete idiot, maybe i should have stayed away and kept my opinions to myself.
