You were the one with the raging hard-on for people accuratly describing psycopaths, right?

Have you checked out Most Evil on the Discovery Channel yet? You would probably love it. Last night they were covering the brain differences between psychopaths and someone with a "normal" brain makeup. While some of the more in-depth information is dropped for entertainment value, it is still worth a watch.


On a side note:
One of the studies done to try and show psychopaths lacking the ability to feel fear was to as follows:

The subject (normal or otherwise) would come into a room and have electrodes attached to them to measure heart rate and persperation. They would then be told that they would have to make a two minute speach on the worst thing they have ever done, and that it would be videotaped.

The idea behind this is that a normal person would become nervous and have physiological reactions to the thought of having to tell someone (and be recorded saying) the "worst thing you have ever done in your life". Psychopaths were found to not have as pronounced reations as normal people.

Now, is it just me, or would it be really fun to get to run that study. I would love to just sit there and listen to people tell you the horrible, awful things that they are afraid to let out.

I thought it was Samira. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I watched part of that last night. One number they threw out that peaked my interest was that they claimed that 1 in 100 people are psychos. It's just not all get to the point of killing people.

I've caught that show a couple of times, diffrent episodes. Its pretty intresting last night they had Ed Brien on there. Its werid though because he was mentaly unstable he got a lower rateing. I was also checking out this other show on A&E called 48 hours (not the one from CBS) It was basicly the detectives side of cops but it was pretty good.

Yeah, I caught that one last night and put it on my Tivo. I liked the joke one guy made about how if this was CSI, they would have been able to match the shoe print in the "tennis shoe satabase"

As long as you keep the title (+1 me), you can confuse me with Samira anytime. She gets the short end of the stick on that one. Smiley: laugh

I would change it, but what sort of stupid name could I come up with Samira in it?

And someone coming in and saying "Samira" as an answer has already been thought of.
