> ...believe Hitler was mad, what he did that consumed his life, it was his sole purpose.. I think many crimes are a matter of choice.so hitler was victim to his genes / environment whereas other people are not? what is 'choice' if it is not behaviour that is determined on the basis of ones beliefs and desires? and if ones beliefs and desires are caused by something outside of our control (our genes and environment) then even our 'choices' are determined by factors outside our control.
