    Some years ago, I studied criminal psychology at college, and really got into it, very fascinating course to take on.

    Among other things, we were to study the cases and background of many serial killers(sic), as popular media would call them.

    Thankfully, despite notions to the contrary, the actual odds of anyone being a serial killer are so tiny as to almost be worthy of never worrying about, but of course, they have and do exist.

    One thing that struck me is that the US have had more, per head of the population, and in % terms, than any other country in the World.

    You would expect such a thing to perhaps manifest in almost equal measure, across all of mankind, yet apparently not, apparently the US lead the way in spawning serial killers.

    This has to be of interest, for it may explain, at least in part, what lends itself to the environment in which a human being may be capable of doing such things, or going such a way.

    If it could be established that in one nation or culture, there were almost no instances, or very few of this particular form of murder, compared to the US, or even the UK, that would surely tell us that something may be wrong with the very culture here, and this was a terrible by product.

    It would also be interesting to consider if this type of behaviour has always been common to the human species, or at least a %, or if it is a relatively recent development among us.

    My take on the reason why America spawns the most serial killers is thus:

    Liberlaism/Socialism and multiculturalism gives people the attitude that their particular ideology should reign supreme over the populace and that the populace in general should be able to expect the government to control and or provide them with handouts for their entire lives.

    Once this mindset takes hold with a type of people who don't have the incentive to work and don't feel that they're contributing something/anything to society, and to the welfare of their familes and of themself, and are GODLESS--then the last thing to fill the empty gap in their lives is to take out their anger and rage on a sex that is physically inferior. Thus, you would not find a hard working God fearing Conservative spending his time going on a serial killing spree. I guess you can deduce what type of people are left to do the serial killing.

    Is that so? I didn't know that. Could it be possible that America is better at identifying serial killers, or is too quick to define someone as a serial killer? I imagine there are some South American countries where serial killers can go about their activities unnoticed so it only seems like the USA has the most. Or serial killers in the middle east legitimize their activities by getting jobs in law enforcement.

    Sorry - but this is perhaps the most silly proposition I have ever heard.

    LOL.

    There is something wrong with culture everywhere, because a primary element of every culture is man-woman relationships, and most people do it wrong. If there is a reason the presence of serial killers ought to be considered a especially noteworthy symptom of cultural rot, I'm not aware of it.

    It does sound silly, I'll grant you that, but I know liberals like every inch of my glorious naked body, and I know for a fact that the people most apt to go on a serial killing spree are and will be in the future...LIBERALS!

    In answer to your question, yes I do dance with the liberal devil, but its usually done in the brightness of the day. Like right now for instance. :twisted:

    Why does America have so many more serial killers than truly Liberal nations, then?

    Because those socialist run nations you speak of do not have any Conservatives in which the libs can and do run political and social roughshod over. So long as we have libs here in America to wreak havoc over our capitalist/Conservative ideals--then chances are great that these lazy entitlement driven yahoos will eventually snap. And some in snapping will take out their effeminate insecurities and inadequacies on the gentler sex of our society by raping and killing them--perhaps in a serial way. You see, Capitalism/Conservatism takes hard work and is not readily available to the feckless among us, i.e liberals. One can only sink so deep in a failed ideology and in a failed social outlook on society before they become psychotic.

    Seriously, please stop.

    The psyche of a serial killer has NOTHING to do with politics.

    Do some reading.

    Off the cuff I'd have to say the island of Tahiti has never had any
    serial killers.

    Those believing in liberalism/socialism or in having big daddy government run their lives for them are exactly the people most prone to turn to psychotic behavior to satisfy their own failures in life. Look it up--read a book! May I suggest you read either of the two books touching this very subject by Judith Herman. "Trauma and Recovery" and "Father-Daughter Incest".

    Tell me.

    The case histories of which serial killers are you familiar with, up to and including their background?

    You trying to weld the actions of a serial killer to that of 'liberalism/socialism', is akin to 30's Germany, when it was suggested that Jews spread disease.

    Do you see how you are coming across?
