@tysswe1 No that's bullshit! That gives no credit to the majority of people who grow up having terrible childhoods and turn out to be great people, and all the Psychos like Dalhmer, Son of Sam, BTK who had normal childhoods. You don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean no alternative? How can there be no alternative to being a serial killer!?! I wouldnt want to be your neighbor you creepy bastard.

@PeterRoeder31 Best place.

Fascinating writer. Can't imagine the sinking feeling she had when she realized for the first time Ted Bundy was a killer.  Good thing she wasn't his type.

[EmilGalv]

I have never met this writer, but I adore her.

ted bundy was raised by his mother who claimed to be his sister, and his dad fucking raped the whole family, and beat them. if you been raised in those conditions since you were born you become imun to violens and pain in others. djust like you/those who had a good childhood cant understand them, they cant understand you, and violence is normal to them. i said MANY, not all. and there are those who are real nutters whit a good childhood. but i think ted woul not kill if he was raised better.

[tysswe1]

many children who become criminals, could be kinda like the goodest person on earth. but the system and the world leaves them whit no alternative, and they turn into crime. so the criminals are no more evil then us who creates them.
