Prison Experiment

Hmm why am I posting this link, I wonder. Definitely not because I'm attempting to provide an excuse for the acts that were committed. But I just thought that this experiment is, to say the least, a very interesting and fascinating (in the kinda fixated-by-horror way) read. And also, that it reveals a lot about human nature that I feel we should all know. I just find it scary how an average Joe can do the most unimaginable things when put under extreme conditions, be it a prison setting, a war, or simply just stress.

Also, it has been brought up several times here, that America chose the "lesser of two evils" when they decided to drop the two atomic bombs on Japan. I'd just like to point out that the lesser of two evils is still an evil. Also, nobody can foretell what would have happened if America had chosen a different way of bringing the war to an end. All those estimates of war casualties in alternative scenarios are simply just that - estimates. So do take them with a pinch of salt.

*deep breath*
Ok, this is quite enough serious talk from me. =)

Edit: fixed some grammer.
