Comment on Why is "I was born this way" and other "genetic predisposition" defenses almost common place? I get the physical stuff like loss of limbs but not the I was born to hate, or rape, and so forth?

  Turns out, I’m 25% Scandinavian, and wanted to embrace my heritage, ya know? I always used to feel guilty about this, but I was just born this way.

  The poor priest: oh lawd.

  I knew a guy who said shit like this. He abused young boys. I reported him and attached several of the epistles he wrote justifying it.

  I was mainly talking about courts like so and so shot up a neighborhood because he or she was born with the predisposition for hate or whatever. For me everything in life is a choice blaming your wrong choice on genetics is a cop out.

      You want me to get an article for a sentence that you think I am referencing? Do you ask all your teachers to show you articles after making a statement? It’s called giving an example. For EXAMPLE I knew this egg who fell off a wall to prove gravity I think his name was Dumpty or something.

        Actually, yes, I do. Teachers teach documents—usually primary sources if possible. If a teacher was telling me a bunch of stuff that they couldn’t show me any evidence of, I would be a little suspicious.
