A new study of brain activity shows that aggressive males may enjoy watching others suffer.
Professors at the University of Chicago analyzed the reactions of a group of teenagers with, and without, a history of violent behavior while they watched video clips of strangers enduring pain.
They found that while both groups showed a surge in activity in the brain's pain centers, the aggressive youths also showed an uptick in activity in the pleasure centers - suggesting they might actually be enjoying what they were seeing.
"They're not only indifferent to the pain, they love it - maybe," said Dr. Benjamin Lahey, co-author of the study and professor of epidemiology and psychiatry at the University of Chicago.

Shocking.
This is kind of like that scientific study that, after much research and analysis, ultimately concluded that the primary reason people play video games is because they're fun.

This isn't related, but I just thought you should know that the Obama-Biden transition team:
"does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or any other basis of discrimination prohibited by law."

That's right, it says sexual orientation AND gender identity.
who are we....well it does discriminate if it doesn't believe we have the right to marry. Civil unions don't hack it and are a lame excuse for addressing equality.
