[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There will always be debate about nature vs nurture. Genetics are rarely destiny for behavior, but it does happen. Psychopaths and sociopaths do exist. Having parented a couple of kids, I've come across one or two. It's very rare. But you can tell they aren't right regardless of parental intervention.

But I'd say the bigger problem is shitty parents begetting shitty children.

Agree with all of this. It's usually nature and nurture, but it's not like a guaranteed 50/50 mix and therw are some real outliers. That NYT article years ago on psychopathic/sociopathic kids was horrifying and I don't think the most perfect parents could correct that, "starts with strangling an infant blue at 3" behavior. Like there just seemed like something so purely nature and innate for some of those mentally ill kids, many of whom seemed to have normal siblings and parents juat beside themselves doing all they could to stop their first graders from gutting the family dog or setting the house on fire.
