Almost 80 percent. Think about that when you're walking around the mall: Eight out of ten of those people you see would torture the shit out of a puppy if a dude in a lab coat asked them to. |

When presented with a similar situation (as bystanders to an accident with other people around, being prompted by authority to do harm to someone else, etc.) we should stop and think about doing what the minority would do. |
