if this is so then how come they feel no remorse?
i'd say that 75% of murders are murders of emotion.. whether mad sad love passion, but those that kill just for killing and those that don't have remorse for this... those are the ones im concerned with.. they don't have morals they don't have emotion... that just it. i don't think they even have the basis for these within them or it would have been a crime of passion / emotion.

Well, I think their ideas of right and wrong are different than ours. They don't see such killing as wrong. If it is emotionally charged over passion/love/whatever then they think that they are right to kill a person and the victim is wrong to do whatever they did to instill such feelings.

And as for thoughts and actions associated with morality, I really don't think thoughts should be counted. If you can control your thoughts so that you control your actions, that is good, but having a bad thought, as long as it doesn't lead to action, should not be counted.

Why do they? Chemically, I don't know. There are probably three similarly plausible answers. Everyone is born with a sense of right or wrong, whether or not some don't perceive it in that way. Some might see no reason to care for others and limit "good" to be desire, and "bad" to dislike. As Ich-Bin said, we have different views of right and wrong; it's how we're conditioned in the pregnancy process that dictates a lot of what we'll believe. Ones' considerableness is decided by the amount of control over their emotions. That is decided by how important intellect, reason, and objective truth is to them. That is decided by natural gifts formed and developed during the pregnancy process--something we should be studying a LOT more of.

emotion does not have any thing to do with our morality. it is our belief. and if we believe it is right then we will act or feel that way.
