Evil is a religious concept. No such thing. Motives are never really known and far too much time is wasted trying to guess them. Treatment of anyone under the law should be primarily based on an assessment of the threat they represent. It hardly matters if a murder is evil or just insane, while he remains likely to do it again he must be detained. You can hardly blame an ill-treated dog for attacking people but you still put it down.

Oh my god, I have become my father. Shoot me now please.

Also IMHO a badly treated dog that attacks someone should not be put downComment

Errm but isn't abnormal psychopathology
Originally posted by John GaltInteresting idea Xog. So are you saying then that a sociopath, for instance, is not evil just insane? Do you not think it is possible that science is desperate to put a label on something it can't really explain? A sociopath has absolutely no conscience at all and will do anything to satisfy his own needs or desires, including killing people, yet he may be the product of a happy and stable homelife. As far as I know it is not caused by a temporal imbalance or something similar so could it not just be the case that some people are just born bad?
Also IMHO a badly treated dog that attacks someone should not be put down
I thought that was why there was a rise of non-empathetic people throughout the population, because badly-raised children become parents who raise their own children badly?Why not?Comment
