    If you can point to concrete empirical evidence that proves this, I would like to see it

    You know full well that cannot be done in any circumstance for any argument based on science, this kind of reasoning is only valid in mathematics.

      Well going back to your question, you asked whether people are born evil. The question was framed incorrectly. Which is why I responded with some people really are born with certain disposition.

      You believe this can be overridden in all circumstances. I do not. You can try but it’s very dangerous to believe without a doubt this is true.

        As I said before I believe your study was flawed in that it did not isolate the environmental effects (parents, community, wealth, etc.). I would expect environment to be a more significant factor. There haven’t really been many studies in this area. This is not a scientific debate, rather an ideological one.

          Ok. But if you’re ideological believe is that all can be reformed without a shadow of a doubt and you turn out to be wrong, that has some devastating consequences for many potential victims.

          My point of view is, you can try reform some of the less severe cases, but when it comes to people like the one in the article, you need to lock them up and throw away key for the good of society.
