    sure hearts and all that good stuff is just in kingdom hearts. But does anyone think out there somewhere there could be someone who truly doesnt feel? i mean a completely normal person that just doesnt feel emotions. a strange theory but who knows...[​IMG]

    Yes it's called an anti-social personality disorder and they commonly don't feel remorse for their actions. certain medical cases have also documented that damage to the frontal cortex can result in an actual lose of emotion where you are neither able to process it, recognize it, or produce it. Although this results from serious trauma and lesioning.

    I had turned into a nobody at one stage and thought it would make me stronger.It weakened me beyond comprehention.No one should ever EVER do it.It makes you feel only tried and in pain.I wouldn't wish this faith on anyone.I nearly didn't make it back....

    There's also a form of it that develops in early to late childhood that can be a precursor to Anti-Social Personality Disorder. I forget it's name as I learned about it last semester.

    Most serial killers have Anti-Social Personality, such as Ted Bundy and others. They are incapable of feeling guilt for their actions.

    Well, usually serial killers have these kinda problems. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't kill at all...

    Maybe there is, maybe not. REally, who DOES know? Maybe some guy doesn't have emotions. Or maybe he just doesn't express them.

    There has to be somewhere, it's impossible there isn't. Maybe not a human but there has to be a creature with no feelings at all.

    Well...everything has to feel some kind of faint emotion.
    I have a reputation of not showing emotions very often, so when I run up to my friends and glomp them, I get plenty of stares. But anyway.

    I don't think I'm a serial killer; at least, not last time I checked.
    Beings without hearts just isn't possible, because the heart is needed in the resperatory system, as well as the circulatory system. >_>

    Anyway. As others have said, there are conditions where people don't have really visible emotions. They're there, just covered up under God knows what. Serial killers generally have a history of abuse (as a child), killing animals, and experiencing a traumatic past.

    Not having a heart = Not possible.
    Not showing emotions = Possible.
