A place where nothing offensive happens
      Okay, this is a very simple story. There are two brothers and their
    dad is dying. Dad wants the eldest brother to get the land, but the
    mom wants her youngest to get it. This is where things get tricky.
    Mom is not the mother of the eldest son. So, she favors her son.
    Dad is blind. Mom, tells her son to trick dad into signing away the
    property to him. It works.

      But, a long grudge grew between the eldest son and younger.
    This becomes a feud carried on by their descendents. Thousand of
    years pass and the feud is still going. Eventually, the two tribes hate
    each other so much they fight a world war. And can you guess what
    happens next? Yup, total annihilation.

      Their weapons have become so powerful that the sky catches fire.
    The sea boils and every living thing burns. Now, how is this just?
    Well, its all done in the name of God. So, it is a just war fought by good
    unoffensive people. How can total annihilation be unoffensive, because
    they all believe in Heaven. And the world is just a stepping stone to God's
    Heavenly Kingdom. So no one feels bad about destroying the world.
    Its all part of God's plan.. to destroy all life... in a final purification.

        Yes, this apocalypse is morally unoffensive and good to these
    true believers. They of course can't speak for themselves. They're all
    dead. Sadly, there is little left of their planet to record their heroism.
    But,  the tireless efforts of alien archaeologists have surmised they
    worshiped a cartoon mouse and sports. True, the theory is not completely
    accurate; the digs are very scorched.

        Thus passes the glories of the cartoon mouse and foot ball.
    Did I mention the pea soup? Oh, it doesn't matter now.
    Happy star hopping!
