Thread: REVENGE! Ever taken it?

I can really bare a grudge man. I was treated very poorly by someone five years ago and I still find the time to give him a bad day now and again.

My father told me a story about how him and some friends took revenge, over a bar/whore-house owner in the Philipines.
They were a bunch of horny, beer starving sailors, on the lose, they were spending lots of money in that place, but never the less they were kick out for being to loud and rough. Ofcause they got pist off but new better than to start a fight with the locals, so what they did was, when the bar has closed (Half of the place were on poles in the water) they took some long lines from there freighter and attach them to the poles, so when the ship left in the early morning, so did half of the bar....

Brain scans reveal men's pleasure in revenge

A lust for vengeance may be hardwired into the male brain. Scans of brain activity suggest that men experience greater satisfaction than women in seeing cheaters get their comeuppance – at least when the punishment is physical.

Tania Singer of University College London, UK, and colleagues used a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) machine to analyse the brain activity of 32 volunteers after their participation in a simple game, called the Prisoner's Dilemma.

The game allows players to cooperate or double-cross one another, and so fosters camaraderie or enmity between players. Following the game, participants were placed inside an fMRI machine and then saw their fellow players zapped with electricity. The activity in their brain was recorded as they watched.

The scans revealed changes in activity as players who had cooperated got zapped, compared with those who had double-crossed them in the game. The results suggest that men get a much bigger kick than women from seeing revenge physically exacted on someone perceived to have wronged them.

"It was very surprising," Singer told New Scientist. "I didn't expect such a strong difference."
