I think that Enzyme has the right of it in his last post
we, as we are here and now, cannot possibly comprehend someone acting in a that they don't consider to be right, or for some greater good (simplifying a bit here)

looking at this case it is impossible to see how anyone could think that their actions were right or for the greater good, and as captain placid said, for anything other than fun.

I think with some instances, such as this, there comes a point where you have to think either they don't know wrong from right (hard to believe in a group that they all wouldn't), they can't think of the consequences, or they know it is wrong and they do it anyway.

I have a hard time believing that someone of their age can be one of the latter two and ever change, or even form a valuable part of society.


to get to my original intended point: to quote Enzyme
"...some people act because of - not just despite - their knowledge that they have a reason not to; and that's incomprehensible."

I've come to the conclusion that what you are talking about here is the case. it's incomprehnsible, but it is the case nonetheless!
