Revenge Really Does Taste Sweet

Wizzy Wig writes "The Toronto Star is reporting on scientific experiments showing a link between revenge and the 'pleasure center' of the human brain, thus putting a nature spin on something heretofore thought of as a nurture based, or learned, emotion."

  1. Let's admint it... revenge feels good by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Revenge is always one of those things that, besides are better ethics not too, always makes one feel good.

    It's never a matter of being right or wrong, it's that feeling of justice I suppose, the feeling that we have, in our eyes, made things right in the world .

    Of course, it's also immensely selfish and one sided.

    Cheers,
