Grade school girls can't say No when asked to dance

I haven't looked up the science for what I'm about to say, but it seems intuitive at least that one would have to be mentally ill to, at least in many/most cases, do such atrocious things as to rape or murder. When I think "evil" with reference to people, a lot of the times, I'm thinking "fucked in the head". I think it's rare that someone could be evil and yet be quite sane.

And as others have said, it doesn't mean we're using mental illness as an excuse. Rather, it's important to acknowledge that mental illness can play a contributing factor in leading to "evil" behaviour. We shouldn't ignore this possibility just because it doesn't make some people feel good about it.

Sanity in court is just being able to understand what you did was wrong (paraphrasing). You can definitely commit atrocities without having a mental illness, and mental illnesses don’t make you more prone to committing atrocities.

If I conveyed anything to make anyone think that I was bickering with him, rather than respectfully conversing, let me clear that up now. I might have dry delivery, but I'm just chatting with him.

Huh?

How can you be confused? What was the popcorn about?
