...to explain their bad behavior or behavior that is perceived as bad.
Among many examples I could give, here is one: "Oh, I am violent and hit people and scream at the top of my lungs because I have anger problems".
Maybe you do that because that is what is [b]easy[/b] and you don't want to take responsibility for your own actions and try to fix your problem because that takes effort. Having anger problems is no excuse for bad behavior. It is just a cop out.
Scientists hate this because they want to know the reasons behind everything. But ur brain is complicated and is no slave to any genetic coding. Only brainwashing.

^--------- I am not talking exclusively about violent people [quote]Well... Actually, yes it is, by proxy. I think you're confusing reason and excuse. [/quote] A reason is an excuse when people know they shouldn't do something but do it anyway. Or even if they believe what they are doing is ok, in order to make themselves feel less at fault, they use "reasons" as an excuse. [Edited on 01.08.2013 1:30 PM PST]
