That's irrelevant. Societal conditioning is not the same as learning. There's a such thing as being miseducated.

Quote:And though you are clearly just try to charm me with your usually love and support, I think a little knowledge might lead you to wonder if your statement should be taken literally.  It seems to me that all of WWII Germany pretty much resulted in a mass triggering of underlying psychopathy.  Is perhaps some of Hollywood or political culture of abuse rooted in some of the same psychology as we see in Milgram?

A triggering of psychopathy? What utter bullshit. Psychopathy is either 1% of the population, 3% of the population or 100% of the population. And I am either one of the biggest psychos around and everyone else is as well . . . or I am not a psycho.
