There is, of course the well-known (though controversial) MacDonald Triad, also know as the triad of sociopathy, which is believed by some to be an indication of violent tendacies. The tirad consists of bedwetting past the age of five, obsession with fire-setting, and cruelty to animals. So what do you think? Are these things inherent in a person or are they due to condition and upbringing?

Replies JohnDoe022446 Posted at 12:09 pm on July 9, 2012 See, I tend to agree with you and lean a bit more to conditions (or conditioning) if I have to choose one. Char Aznable Posted at 12:00 pm on July 9, 2012 Its obviously both. Some are natural born killers. Some are reborn into killers through trauma. :/ All 2 previous replies displayed.
