[As Vegeta ignores the dog food can, Knives considers it and then sets it down where the last one had been. His dog promptly picks up this new can and shuns the old one.]
There's benefits to being peaceful. I prefer a place somewhere in between, the peace that comes from knowing you can and will slaughter everything around you if you have to, and your enemies knowing it as well, and leaving you well alone. There's little to be gained from pointless bloodshed and warfare save culling the population. Most warrior cultures I know of do not suffer from overpopulation issues, however. Humanity on the other hand..
[Well maybe a little pointless warfare isn't bad for them, in that case.]
