Born bad

Michael’s problems started, according to his mother, around age 3, shortly after his brother Allan was born. At the time, she said, Michael was mostly just acting “like a brat,” but his behavior soon escalated to throwing tantrums during which he would scream and shriek inconsolably. These weren’t ordinary toddler’s fits. “It wasn’t, ‘I’m tired’ or ‘I’m frustrated’ — the normal things kids do,” Anne remembered. “His behavior was really out there. And it would happen for hours and hours each day, no matter what we did.” For several years, Michael screamed every time his parents told him to put on his shoes or perform other ordinary tasks, like retrieving one of his toys from the living room. “Going somewhere, staying somewhere — anything would set him off,” Miguel said. These furies lasted well beyond toddlerhood. At 8, Michael would still fly into a rage when Anne or Miguel tried to get him ready for school, punching the wall and kicking holes in the door. Left unwatched, he would cut up his trousers with scissors or methodically pull his hair out. He would also vent his anger by slamming the toilet seat down again and again until it broke. - The New York Times

Nice going. Promoting this hateful inhumanity and creating new hate mongers like the guy who just replied. Some speech should not be permitted as a potential danger and this type of speech has hate written all over it. Once we get the conservative voters out of our lives no hate will be permitted even if it is just words like this article or music like you people listen to. Dave (URL) - 13-05-’12 17:09

Yes I like reading news articles about failures please share more of them so I can feel better by signing off my comments with "exterminate the weak" or some such. At least I don't feel better by giving to charity. Typical ANUS user - 14-05-’12 01:00

Dave, you're a commie. We get it. This story is basically "why don't people who run things consider this option? It'd work so much better."

Your reply is "if people like me took over the world you'd be fucked for even thinking that."

If you esteem yourself highly, why even get caught up in it? Nobody here will ever be in charge of anything. Well, you might, because the communism you preach is highly favored in certain parts of this country, but even so the odds are overwhelming: none of this conversation will ever come to pass.

Not the author's proposed solution to a perceived genetic problem, not your solution to a perceived attitude problem, none of it. Right By Definition (URL) - 14-05-’12 08:48
