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?

Yes. Usually with the phrase “where can I learn more about this?” or “what kind of evidence do they have for that?” I remember doing exactly that in my 5th grade history class and had fun reading the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin when the teacher directed me there for a primary source where I could learn more. They seemed excited that a student was engaging critical thinking and seeking additional learning. If you’re comparing yourself to a teacher, maybe you could find it in yourself to see it the same way.

So, I ask you…what kind of evidence do you have for your assertions, and where can I learn more about those events you say happened?
