I think evil does exist. Some people simply has less regard for human life than others. And some actually enjoy inflicting pain on others. Evil vs mental disorder? Who knows.

Human greed also exists. And left unregulated, we would have absolute chaos. That, IMO, is the true intent of the criminal justice system. To regulate greed, not to combat evil. Think about crime. It all comes back to greed.

No, that's just my point. It's NOT nature vs. nurture. Rather, it's nature+nurture+ . . . something else? That's the real question at hand.
As for the poster who said this thread is "juvenile," um, you bothered to post here . . . why?  __________________
