This conclusion required research?

[Alas Babylon!]

“In other words, revenge held its value for a longer period of time than did money to these participants. Across all of our studies we found that these preferences were highly divisive, such that 42% of participants were more willing to wait to enact more severe vengeance. Making this more complex is the fact that we also found that such individuals also had greater antagonistic traits like sadism (i.e., deriving enjoyment out of the suffering of others) and angry rumination.”

This describes the Left well. Sadists.

Yeah, if you don’t retaliate quick the target will probably have forgotten why it’s happening to them and chalk it off to “the world is picking on me”.

How much did the taxpayers pay for this study?

Not me. I like Tony Soprano’s view. Revenge is like serving cold cuts.

Beating your dog today for pooping on your carpet last year does not seem to properly change future behavior.

When they do these studies I protest that the phony situation would never apply in real life so the studies are worthless. If the people know there won’t be any genuine harm to another, then it doesn’t accurately reflect anything.

I never get revenge but I have to use energy stopping myself—mostly by religion and self-control.

Question for the religious people here:
If “vengeance is mine Sayeth the Lord” then God is reserving something apparently valuable, right?

He doesn’t say acts of loving kindness are mine. Or charity is mine. He wouldn’t say something gross is His. So isn’t vengeance valuable? Always wondered about that.

I like my revenge reheated in the microwave.
