dumbest pseudo-science i've seen today. hard-wired to enjoy taking risks? yea right. why not call it lack of experience? testing out how far they can go? no need to come up with bs theories.

@eternalduty It surprises me that people gave u a thumbs down. You are spot on! I've been studying the Illuminati's NWO agenda 4 6 years now and u are right.

It is weird. When you are young you are told not to take risks, then when you are older you are told to take risks. It is one or the other.

inexperienced , easly influenced & manipulated yes but doubt anyone of them would play russian roulette or take there chances jumpin of a cliff edge so its not hard wired or any new science to try save the skins of bad management , if there was "yes play ball games here" signs and parks , stockcar racin ,gun clubs , motocross, arcades etc that was easily accessible then these kids would choose the alternate , sadly with dresscodes ,smoking policys , be a turnip laws it dosnt work

Honestly, u want to know the truth?* What ever parents say to their kids. their kids will do the opposite more or less. because they wanna know why they shouldn't do it etc. This is just from my analysis of my own behaviour from a teen to a young adult.
