Hate Thought Crime Detection around the corner? Scientist say yes..

Ran across this story and thought you guys would enjoy a short read. Apparently scientist have isolated the "brain circuit" in charge of "Hate". It is mentioned that not also can this be used in court to quantify hate, but it could also be taken out to remove all hate from the world. Or at least that is what I got out of it. What a weird world we live in folks. 1984 here we come, although a little late. :O)

Scientists Identify Brain's 'Hate Circuit'
57 mins agoWEDNESDAY, Oct. 29 (HealthDay News) -- British researchers say they've identified a "hate circuit" in the brain.

This hate circuit shares part of the brain associated with aggression, but is distinct from areas related to emotions such as fear, threat, and danger, said researchers Professor Semir Zeki and John Romaya, of University College London's laboratory of neurobiology.

The study was published online Oct. 29 in the journal PLoS One.

"Hate is often considered to be an evil passion that should, in a better world, be tamed, controlled, and eradicated," Zeki said in a journal news release. "Yet to the biologist, hate is a passion that is of equal interest to love. Like love, it is often seemingly irrational and can lead individuals to heroic and evil deeds. How can two opposite sentiments lead to the same behavior?"

I can see it now. The very

I can see it now. The very first application would involve eradicating "holocaust denial". Gotta protect that story!!!! Not one ounce of it is wrong!!!!
And if you say so you goyim scum we'll rip your brains apart!

Science will be used against the populations of the world to render our perceptions useless, at some point in the future.

RUTROH SHAGGY! since I hate

RUTROH SHAGGY! since I hate liberals i better go check my self into the jail now!

What about Sarah

Why aren't we making a bigger stink about the stupid people out in L.A. Hanging the maniquin dressed like Sarah Palin. This Obahma campaign is out of control and we as a country should not stand for it. Who were the first people to start the race card of the campaign?

I actually laghed out loud

I actually laghed out loud when I read "eradicated" from the earth. What a complete load of crap, to even think that human beings could rid the world of hate... what arogance these "scientists" have. And this brings up another issue. If these people want hate eradicated, then are they hating, hate? If they hate, hate, then they too should be labotamized to stop their evil transgressions.

Yeah

The Buddha would have had a field day with these guys because it's no different than desiring not to desire.
I can see this maybe as a last ditch effort for repeat violent criminals. Maybe it would cut down on prison overpopulation and violence.
But even then it would have to be for people with serious issues.
I wonder that if it worked would they keep them for the duration of their sentence or let them go?

If this isn't 1984, I don't know what is

Heard about this

I wonder if they can find that part of the brain that promotes statism and remove that instead?

Hate exists for a reason

If the common sense of Aristotle was taught in primary school, the implications would be obvious.

What would happen if we felt nothing but love or indifference for the dog biting us, the thief robbing us, et. ?

Only when the emotions can be associated with a circumstance, can behavior have a chance of being modified. Perhaps usefull information if you want to program a "Manchurian Candidate".

I don't feel hate

when a dog bites me. He knows no better and has probably been abused.
When people bite me, that's a different story...

There are many shades of hate

If you're going to physically attack something, an angry-hatred is usefull to get adrenaline flowing, where shooting something, detachment is better. I hate dogs that growl at me, for the very reason I may need to smash its friggin skull with "extreme prejudice", as they say. I'll feel guilty for the poor critters miserable life after its dead and I've got time.

I'm not talking about moral judgments, about being praise or blame worthy, or disgust or proclivities.

I'm very glad you guys thought this was worth looking into..

all to often information like this falls off the front page because people just aren't interested. For those that read and understand what is happening in our world...thank you.

No

What should be happening are brain scans for all elected officials to see if they are psychopaths or not. Brain scans can now detect if the emotional centers of the brain get stimulated. For a psychopath, which is a conciousless being, there is no change in brain patterns when they hear a word that would cause an emotional reaction in a human.

peace - love - freedom

Human Behavior Biologized?

Right! remove responsibility and choice and we'll all be turned into mind numbed robots, all hail Satan

Of course with hate eliminated

No one will "hate" the government or the scums running it.

Might as well go "Equilibrium" on us now! Welcome to Libria!

"...mankind are more disposed to suffer [...] than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. [...] It is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Too true....

wouldn't be surprised if they even call the cure "Prozium".
(One of my favorite movies. Thanks for the reminder!)

What is it

with this day and age that causes all of this meddling in things we don't fully understand?

Money? Power? Arrogance?

I wouldn't let them touch me with a 10 ft. pole

"Eradicated"

Isn't this the exact language of the Nazis?

If I "hate" the Green Bay Packers, should that be "eradicated"?

Oh, Yay! Lobotomies all around!

Actually, as Americans we have the right to hate anyone we want for any reason we want, so long as we do not act upon that hate. Admittedly, hate is usually more destructive over time to the hater that the hatee, but it is still our right. We'd best keep it that way!
