BBC NEWS | Health | Why we enjoy telling people off
OK... This article from BBC science pages may explain just why so many people like to listen to Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity even though they don't keep much touch with reality.
-----"Writing in Science, the researchers said telling someone off activated a part of the brain which is linked to enjoyment and satisfaction.
The researchers said it might explain why many people choose to reprimand others if they break the rules or abuse their trust. "-----
I always wondered why people watch/listen to these types of compaint based, insult slinging shows. It's not as if they are actually news shows.
Well, here you have it.
