Son of a *****!

I thought I had read somewhere that Ed Gein, Charles Mason, and John Wayne Gacy all had bruises along the cortex, or an incident that led to a severe head injury. No need for a dropped baby joke.
Anyone else know of anything similar?

I thought it was enlarged ventricles or something, though I may be thinking of something else entirely.

I'll say what I told my mom, every kid born should be checked at a young age to see if they have a mental disorder, and if they do have one, they should be put to sleep immediately.

lol at fix.

Every child is born innocent.

That would be nice...but human experience tells us that just isn't true...they are born in a fallen state and often die in a worse one...but, thats the human condition for you. However, they are born free of culpability.

According to some superstitions.

Then can you and your undeserved sense of arrogance wait quietly?

It has been apparent for some time that damage to the frontal lobe can result in a psychopathic serial killer, as it has for many.
As for the three mentioned, though, a few sites associated Gacy with frontal cortex damage, while the other two were separate cases.

Hahahaha, how long have you been waiting to post that? What an unbelievably shit point to post it.

Incorrect. Nobody is born a 'sick ****', and please do not star out one letter because you are avoiding the censor. Thank you.

Uh oh, an armchair moderator.

I didn't wait very long...

However, your posting history tends to lend to the belief that your arrogant...and not a very nice guy.

Uhoh, long-time member who actually obeys the rules. Doom and gloom!

Meanwhile, as Bart said, nobody is born with the intent to murder. It is a product of environment or a product of mental issues. You may be born with mental issues, but that does not mean you will kill. That is wrong.

Oh right, so then let me get this straight - you were going over my previous posts and thought to yourself "hey, this guy really isn't that nice and seems arrogant". So you then came into this thread, where my posts had been in no way arrogant or nasty, to start some kind of argument by bashing me?

Reported.

I really, really do not like all that long time member prejudice shit. Fair enough, he abides the rules, but is starring out one letter actually breaking any rules?

Yes, actually.

I suppose that is conceivable, Gav. You are implying genetics, yes?

That would be my first thought, you can often find Mentally Ill people who have a long family history of mental problems.

To varying degrees I suppose, certainly there is a nature element but nurture plays a huge part in the process.

We can't ignore Freud on this issue either...if only because he makes it more fun. 😄

I just broke the first law...and went to Wikipedia 😛

Genetic studies have indicated that genes often play an important role in the development of mental disorders, via developmental pathways interacting with environmental factors. The reliable identification of connections between specific genes and specific categories of disorder has proven more difficult.

Environmental events surrounding pregnancy and birth have also been implicated. Traumatic brain injury may increase the risk of developing certain mental disorders. There have been some tentative inconsistent links found to certain viral infections, to substance misuse, and to general physical health.
