I'm pretty sure those who engage in acts which violate norms (such as murder, which, outside of a context of executioners, dueling, or warfare) is pretty well condemned in most cultures and get caught aren't likely to get too many dates anyway since they're usually executed young, banished, isolated, or otherwise suffer sanctions as a result of their behavior. Are there tons of cultures where killing lots of members of your society (and not those pesky "others") is likely to bring benefits? Because I haven't come across them in the course of my anthropological or sociological education. That said, I'm pretty sure this post should be addressed to every "nice guy" in the world.

That's so full of fail (can we drop the "lame" please?). The sad part is, I'd really like to read what the anthropologist came to as a conclusion for the high homicide rate. Wha..?
