  • @Galvatron7 I believe we kill each other because we live in scarcity. Why does the US have the highest homocide rate in the industrialized world? Are Americans genetically less sympathetic? No, probably because of social conditions. Phychiatrists who have studied the backgrounds of the most violent criminals, find that they have all been exposed to violence in their homes and their environment as children.

  • I find amazing, but not uplifting, that this kind of grossly misrepresented view of the nature/nurture debate made it on to the news.

  • Buy into what?

  • Yeah, great. So fascinating. Wonder how long it will take the bloodsucking lawyers to turn this into a defense for any violent crime. Probably about as long as it takes all of you saps to buy into it.

  • God still made the brain teh way it is. :)

  • Amazing, yet uplifting.  LOL

  • The connection between damage to the front part of the brain and personality changes has been known for a long time.

  • Bull! If we arew like that how come we killed each other over and over and over and over again in our history of mankind?? We are killign eachother now as we speak ,that doesnt have anything to do wit hbeing wired not to hurt or to empathize. Everybody can kill or be a killer
