    Something that makes people more empathetic to the needds of others isn't all bad.

    What society hasn't been able to accomplish culturally in terms of emasculating men they'll now try to do chemically. :roll:

    They were then shown photos of emotionally charged situations including a crying child, a girl hugging her cat, and a grieving man, and were asked questions about the depth of feeling they had towards the subjects.

    How is men getting more empathetic emasculating? Unless this gas/scent whatever corrodes men standing up and defending what is right and wrong,
    detract from the idea that peace is best maintained through superior firepower alone with increased empathy.

    Why would anyone have feelings about a pic of a crying kid that is not theirs, a strange girl hugging a strange cat, or a crying man they know fuck-all about?

    *shrugs*


    What does that say about me? I'm a hard-ass tough broad? Yeah, right :roll:
