[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 263376"] I pretty much agree with- what Witz says as well. Perhaps some have a predisposition (wiring) to faulty thing. And then if that situation is coupled with abuses in the home or within society...it would be especially concerning!!! Personally, I think almost all of us have choices to make. Almost all of us can, put a little space between a stimulus and a response. Sometimes, we need time to figure this out. Some, need medication to make that happen. Some, find it very difficult. I do believe that there is a small percentage of the population that might find it basically impossible. I still find it perplexing. Actually, I find it disheartening. I'm still processing it. Perhaps years ago there was more hope for young people who made mistakes...especially for those who showed any glimmer of promise. They weren't thrown in jail forever with no treatment, care or hope because they made a mistake. My guess is that they were held accountable for their actions...but not discarded like trash. And today, look at the way we treat our mentally ill? We thought de-instutionalization was a good thing. Why? Perhaps because many in those institutions were being abused. Some where there when they shouldn't be there. But, what do we do with today's folks who are mentally ill? Ignore them....put them in jail...give them little or no treatment...watch them worsen.
