If you decapitated someone with a punch, would you break your hand?

maybe you're just not anime enough

 

Still yeah getting punched like that would hurt

 

I was making a reference to something before your time, you eye.

 

dsss

 

What in the world?

 

Sociopathy is a developmental disability that impairs empathy in people who have it. You can't just teach it out of your child. What you can do is teach your child how to deal with that lack of empathy in a world of people who expect it in him or her or xer and, more importantly how to fake it so that he/she/xir can still get along with other people.

 

I mean predisposing ur child to circumstances that increase their chances of having it also, i can tell if a child is or isn't that, parents allow love to blind them and most people don't seek help for their kids these days, sitting them in front of tvs and electronics only helps, hints the slenderman incident

 

Sociopathy is something that people are born with. You can't prevent it because by the time you have access to the the child, it's too late. You can't keep a child from becoming a sociopath for the same reason that you can't prevent a child from becoming autistic.

 

it's not really, studies show that if u p-expose a child to certain things, they can develop it, for example the numbers of cases have increased from year to year, my bf works w/ kids ans says as does one of my teacher friends, they do see it happening increasingly. like u said u can teach a child with it to better manage

also my brother's autistic, and exposing urself to certain things increases chances for mental illnesses to happen to occur, bipolar ppl weren't born that way, but certain factors contribute to u getting an illness

also, the same way u cab drive someone insane is the same way they can get help to recover

 

I'm sorry, but unless you provide sources and use English, I'm not going to take any of what you've said here seriously. What studies were done and how can they be duplicated? Show me a peer reviewed article on the subject and then I'll believe you. Anything else is just hearsay.

The same goes for the autism thing. I'm autistic as well (professionally diagnosed Asperger's Syndrome) and everything I've read about Autism Spectrum Disorders indicates that everything on the spectrum is purely genetic.

 

that's fine, i can't take u seriously either with no sources, it's all ur opinion. I have mine, u have urs. Agree to disagree.[DOUBLEPOST=1404893178][/DOUBLEPOST]hints the gif signature

 

Just saying but it wouldn't be decapitation. It would be more like a rip.

 

Both right, both wrong.

Mindy is right by chance. Sociopathy and psychopathy are very similar. Both are brought about by both genetic and environmental factors. Psychopathy more often refers to cases where the genes are the cause while sociopathy more often refers to cases where where the environment is the cause. There are cases where certain incidents or even physical ailments can shut down the part of the brain associated with empathy, causing temporary or permanent sociopathy from that point on even in adults.

Sociopathy and psychopathy have been proven to be curable in many cases by intensive therapy that forces the brain to use empathy. Experience can prevent and treat sociopathic tendencies in the brains of those who are still physically able to feel empathy. See Child of Rage. A well documented case of sociopathy stemming directly from external stimulus being cured by systematically building empathy.

KS (Moglin) is right by technical truth. Suppose that the sociopathy (or what have you) is triggered by some environmental stimulus. They still needed a genetic predisposition to it for that to be possible. The child could not have had that gene triggered by the outside world if they didn't have the gene to be triggered in the first place. In other words, they had to be genetically predisposed to sociopathy, or autism, or what have you for them to get it, period.

We cannot say for certain that any personality trait or set of traits is purely genetic without being able to accurately predict who will have the trait based on genes alone. Genes will always have a part to play in predispositions to things, but we can't say where the genes stops and the external trigger starts. For now, we don't know whether the cases where it isn't passed down are cases where the genes weren't triggered by the outside world or ones where the genes were cancelled out somehow. It could go either way. It could be one sometimes and the other at other times. Arguing about extreme positions is useless.

 

Thanks for settling that, i meant to say a combination, but never quite got around to it

 

If your hand can goes as fast as a bullet then sure.

 

Only in the spam throne can we go from decapitation punches to autistic arguments

 

i think it was more of a disagreement.

 

Wow, this far into the thread and no one has cried spoilers yet. Not really good or bad, I just find it strange.


On topic, as others have said it isn't really decapitation. I'm not sure what term should be used for obliterating someone's head, but decapitation isn't technically right. Though if I somehow saw it IRL and was thinking halfway sensibly, I would probably be thinking "OMG he got decapitated"

If we consider Newtonian physics to be sufficient, the punching arm would have to deal with a force equal to what the head had to deal with. How it went down it is a wonder he didn't lose his entire arm. But more realistically, at that level of force you would punch a hole through the head, not destroy the whole thing.

 

Well to be fair most of your threads are pretty much AIDS.
