have you met children?

they don't need to be a castaway on an island to be savages to each other.

A girl was gang raped in my school when I was 10, by other grammar school kids.

fights and beatings were constant too. i was involved in several myself.

Seems believable to me if you look at the US as 1 big island and we are all the nice kids being bullied by the 1 orange asshole.
