We often assume if a person purposely causes suffering, they must "enjoy" it.  We say a serial killer "enjoys" torturing and raping people. It is possible that premeditated violence is not always accompanied by feelings of joy?  Humans choose to engage in many behaviors that don't cultivate a sense of enjoyment.  Take a 600-pound person who eats pizza and ice cream all day.  We assume they must "enjoy" food, but when you watch them binge, you observe zero enjoyment.

When self esteem is based on comparison, demeaning others elevates the self. The net result is akin to lowering the standard by which one believes others judge.

This is the same reason so many people were smugly pleased to see Fabio get hit in the face by a goose while on a roller coaster.



I think if we are all introspective, we have all been secretly pleased to hear the news that someone else has had something bad happen to them.

People are hurt, and they get angry and lashing out at the world, using misery as sustenance. Fuck em indeed. Fuck me when I'm in that mood, and probably you too. We're all people though, next time your day is rough ask yourself if you were the jerk that day in any interactions. Some people are sociopaths and just truly find it amusing, some people fall in deep isolating hole of anger and depression and feel nothing, they have no connection yet hurting a real person creates one.

The issue with the whole deterministic idea there I usually see is if someone is a repeat offender and never wants to change then fuck em but we can't cause they're just a product of their nurturement, but if they are violent in any way it's a pretty hard argument. The brain needs to want to change -to change, if someone loves hurting people enough they won't change, fuck em. Oh if you tailgate me, you better believe I'm slowing down.

Ween on Tuesday.  They are not like that and so many miserable M's on the shroomery.  It used to be have fun now it just mean spirited shit for the most part.  Misery, no, I like life.  Sorry.

What happened to old school man?  Pussies.  Youtube removed a vid I liked.  So will go with Bill Hicks.  He punched out a brat kid at a bar in one massive swoop but that is Boston from a shit neighborhood where a mother brings a kid to a bar.:shrug:


Bill Burr on Phillie.

It's cute that you think people who are sadistic are miserable. There's nothing going on inside of them to be miserable about. How naive you are.

It's pleasurable for some people to cause pain in others. Personally, if I was in charge of eugenics, I would weed them out of society, but that's just me. They certainly aren't contributing anything, they just drag the rest of society down. Better to get rid of them.

Ah Eugenics. We were off to such a good start til some German socialists gave us a bad reputation in WWII.

Not to just restate the question and point of this thread... but what possible evolutionary purpose could sadism have?

It seems more than just rape-pleasure gene spreading. Maybe I'm wrong.

Perhaps it's no more than a twerk of an entirely egocentric perspective.

An entirely egocentric perspective in a gregarious setting: "Ooh! You're gonna pay!"
