Do you think some people are born with sociopathic tendencies or do you think they gain these traits throughout their life ??

@Wraithorn There are specific genetic markers that indicate that someone is prone to extreme violence, read of a case of a serial killer who was born with that marker.

@cherokeepatti Who was it ? I'd like to read about that.

@Wraithorn His name is Arthur John Shawcross, he was born with a chromosome disorder "47-XYY" chromosomal disorder...linked to abnormally high levels of kryptopyrrole, a human time bomb upon conception...for the first 25 years of his life his sexual history highlights an inclination towards children far younger than himself. This is written in a book I purchased about several serial killers..."Serial Killers Up: Close and Personal" written by Christopher Berry-Dee.

@cherokeepatti Ok. Thanks Patti.

@Wraithorn I know it seems really dark but I like to read case studies of these criminals. I just cannot understand how people can enjoy hurting others that way and how they are driven to do so.

@cherokeepatti I also like to read such things Patti. They are seldom boring and the Human mind is really interesting. What some people do is shocking to the maximum but finding out their history and the reasons why will always be interesting. It's also useful to know why in case future tragedies can be avoided.

@Wraithorn Need some way to screen people. My father slipped through the hands of the law for every evil thing he did. If they questioned him they'd let him go, he should have been in prison numerous times for the crap he did.
