#1 "A new study" is it ?

... things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

#2 You mean like not slowing down when you see a bunch of people who've glued themselves to the road in some protest?

#3 Everyone knows schadenfreude feels good. I have seen no meaningful research that proves it is not good for you too.

#4 if there be any praise, think on these things.

"Let's see, should I kill him or just walk away..."

#5 Suppressing negative thoughts might be good for you Especially if these negative thoughts are about your government.

#6 From Neurosciencenews.com

They say that revenge is sweet, and there is evidence from neuroscience that they are right. In a 2004 study published in Science, researchers scanned participants’ brains using positron emission tomography (PET) while they played an economic game which centred on trust, and sometimes led to vengeful actions.

#7 while they played an economic game

Monopoly, or FED?

#8 If I find that you express negative thoughts all the time, I will do my best to run away when I see you. It may look like stumbling. If you do corner me for a conversation with a pitchfork like Bill Murray in Caddy Shack, I might appear to be listening to you, but, in reality, I will be devising my escape plan.

I'm not that vicious but I'm planning for the next event. When those clowns closed down I-93 outside of Boston about six / seven years ago, I grabbed an empty bottle of Pine Sol and created a magical mix to pour over their glued hands (and the rest of their body) if I ever got caught up in the next one - used beer (if ya know what I mean), ammonia and bong water. It's been in my trunk ever since.
Nasty mix, that stuff...
