Government is Irrational.

[Koolay]

The idea that evil is pre-determined is not true.

It has been well established that you can only have an epigenetic disposition to violent behaviour more than others. But it is only triggered after traumatic experiences. If you don't have the trauma / abuse, then it's not a concern.

Like you could have a family history and disposition to heart disease, but if you exercise regularly and eat low fat then you don't have anything to worry about.

On an individual level, anything is possible. But when you collect enough individuals, the statistics become unavoidable. Yes, a person with an evil family COULD avoid being similarly bad. But he probably won't.

And here's what you're not getting-- chance itself is enough to lead to hatred and enmity. What happens if two boys are playing by a river, and one of them drowns? The dead boy's family resents the other. What happens if two young men love the same girl? The losing suitor is likely to be bitter, especially if there are no other girls of similar quality around.

And why is this? Evolution. The evils of humanity are also responsible for our greatest genetic successes. Rape, murder, jealousy-- they have all led to our existence.

That's what government does. It acts as a communal insurance against those types of evils. It mediates their effect and establishes common goals and values.

In anarchy, if I was disposed to rape a girl, I'd size up her father, decide if I could take him, and if I thought I could I'd rape her. I cannot possibly size up a city's police force and think I'm likely to win a confrontation. That's government, and that's a good thing.

So you are saying that you are not in control of your own behaviour?

No, Government are just a band of thieves that have deluded desperate people into thinking that more rights taken away and more predation will give people the effects of freedom. Government is against minorities and the weakest members of society, it seeks to destroy voluntarism and peaceful negotiation with predatory coercion.

According to you? you didn't answer my question, how do you know that he had a happy childhood?

You're not one of those jerks that unless the person you are talking to personally did the research then all the research that has been conducted by professionals is invalidated are you?

Because that's just lame.

Psychologists and Criminal Profilers have looked under every rock in his life.

The end goal of so much study going into serial killers is a hope to identify individuals that are at risk before they start killing. Most serial killers exhibit a triad of symptoms as kids.

First, many of them had a head injury as a child. Second, a fascination with fire. Third, wetting the bed.

They usually have one domineering and abusive parent. Oddly enough several of them were humilated by their parents making them wear dresses in public at one point of their childhood.

Anyway, Jeffrey Dahmer didn't seem to match the usual profile. So the professionals really dug through his past to try and find out what they were missing. Turns out they couldn't find anything.

His childhood just didn't match the normal psychological or behavioral profile.

According to who? the accounts who? the parents? the teachers? the priests? Do you have any scepticism of those that raised a serial killer?
