27. Nature vs. Nurture ... few things entirely one or the other ...

Could easily, IMHO, be primarily genetic, but some are also caught up via environment/exposure (like alcoholism, for example, has been shown to manifest).

I'm also one of those very few folks with a small modicum of compassion for these people. I just think, there's virtually NO treatment (and probably literally none ... outside of prison), even if you WANT it more than anything, and they're people going through life feeling ostracized, ridiculed, threatened, spat-upon, despised ... and imprisoned if they act upon desires that, in probably in most cases ... the person doesn't understand, didn't 'wish' for, would like to change, etc.

When I consider how many of these folks were victims themselves, I have at least a LITTLE reticence towards blanket declarations of unbridled hatred, put it that way.
