I have known many monsters, and I don't mean selfish children who bully on the playground and torture animals. I'm talking about people that are guilty of torturing people to death, often children.
I'm just curious what your take is on why someone turns out that way?
I would say in my case it was too many factors. One problem is I am the problem. Another problem is exposure to pornography at age 8 did damage. A mom cheating on my Dad did damage with her having multiple partners, one of them who was a convicted sexual offender, wasn't helpful. Being unsupervised contributed.
I'm not one of these guys that feels strongly violent video games can cause school shootings, but I loved them and am open to the possibility, and video games that included stuff traditionally associated with being Satanic potentially played a role. I don't know. An obsession with horror films and watching the shower scene of psycho, watching stuff like silence of the lambs and hell raiser before the age of ten, didn't do me any favors.
Listening to music that glorified being stupid, killing people, being irresponsible, horrorcore rap, heavy metal, it definitely did send my young mind the message that it is cool being a selfish idiot, and being a good person is bad. I admit, I was so stupid I believed that. I hope most youngsters are not that stupid but I'm seeing evidence of a culture and media and entertainment industry that glorifies being stupid and worthless, and the people as a general rule seem to be buying it on average from the people I have met and meet.
That will create stupid worthless people and sociopaths when chronically bombarded with filth and trash and affirmation that being sick is great! It weakens and destroys civilizations.
Thoughts?
