Every human being as a dark side that they don't dare to show.  With the exception of the sociopath, that is.  They show the darkness in each of us without shame or fear.  Some people find that fascinating.\n\nI do not glorify them, but I do like to read up on them.  I often wonder what makes them the way they are.  What makes the darkness in them so prevalent that it snuffs out everything that would have made them like ordinary humans?  Perhaps we'll never know.  Either way, it makes for an interesting read.

Because we have become desensitized.  The murders are more frequent but what is more frightening is the brutality and how young the murderers are.  I am amazed at the number of girls and women that committ the really violent crimes and how many of them are done for financial gain or because someone fell out of love with them....sickos!

Exactly, we have become a nation of people who think everything is someone else's fault, especially if it gets us some money. Obviously not everyone falls into this category but far too many do. I think it started with the court system blaming "a bad childhood" for some 18 year old killing some poor dude minding his own business. People know what's right and wrong and they need to have guts enough to admit when they screw up. Okay off the soap box.

There are some vicious people out there. They don't care if you eat or have a roof over head. People like that have no conscience when the do things like that to others. They are out for number one and it doesn't matter who may suffer in the process.

the world is a sick place to live in. some people have no morals or no concept of the value of a human life.  the ones who do have a concience deny that they do wrong so that it helps them to sleep at night.  they condition themselves into believing that their lies to themselves are true, this in essence makes them believe what they do is actually good for the people that they do it to.

Who told you there is a psycho inside everyone's heart?  There's a whiny little brat inside mine!  No, seriously; we are not all maniacs barely held in.  Many of us are really nice people, all the way through.  Some of us have a touch of the crazy, but not necessarily violence.  I admit I have been slightly manic at times, but . . . no, seriously, do you think I could have killed?  Really?

There is a class of individuals who have been around forever and who are found in every race, culture, society, and walk of life. Everybody has met these people, been deceived and manipulated by them, and forced to live with or repair the damage they have wrought. These often charming -- but always deadly -- individuals have a clinical name: psychopaths. Their hallmark is a stunning lack of conscience; their game is self-gratification at the other person's expense. Many spend time in prison, but many do not. All take far more than they give. \n\nThe most obvious expressions of psychopathy -- but not the only ones -- involve the flagrant violation of society's rules. Not surprisingly, many psychopaths are criminals, but many others manage to remain out of prison, using their charm and chameleon-like coloration to cut a wide swathe through society and leaving a wake of ruined lives behind them.\n\nIf you want more info try searching for it. I got the above info from a search.

People hate responsibility. They do not want to admit their shortcomings and failures.  They forget that this is part of being human in the first place.\nAnd then there are those idiots that are just trying to make a quick easy buck by sueing someone for their own problems. Sad, lazy, idiot people.  \nOf course I didn't type this, someone else must have...

because if people stopped loving eachother, there is no hope for humanity. \n     humans are created out of love, so it is paradoxical if we do not love in return\n     loving people rather than hating them can make you live longer.\n     Maybe if serial killers and rapists were loved when they were younger, they wouldnt have become such evil people, who knows? Everyone deserves a chance\n     Humans were created in God's image, and God loves everyone, so we should too

I feel if there were witnesses, videotapes, irrefutable evidence, a confession from a megalomaniac sociopath, a serial killer, that kind of thing, or cold blooded i beat my wife to death because she didn't cook breakfast within a certain amount of time and the eggs were cold.  they are not rehab people. no amount of rehab will make charles manson "sane" (he is sane...just doesn't care, sociopath, tha's the word).  kill them like you would a rabid dog. they don't fit the bill of humanity, humane or even worth the tax dollars to make them suffer worse and live life in prison. although i also think life in prison is probably not the hell it is for other people, for people like this. \nI think that DNA evidence has been screwed up a few times, which is why I'm saying to make sure you know what you've got on your hands and in a lot of cases, there is no question.  I don't believe in the death penalty for children, even if they are evil in the making,  i don't believe in trying them as adults, it's abhorrent. a lawmakers way to hell, everyone knows the adolescent mind is crazy with hormones, changes and egocentric behaviour that's normal--you can't hold them to the same standard and if they can't be rehabilitated, find out through a good juvenile (i wish) system, not an arena made for adults whose minds, however small, are fully grown. never put a child in an adult prison with the rest of the prisoners. let them sit in a cell and listen. overnight or two, don't tell them when they're getting out.  you'll have them scared straighter than a southern belles deportment. the death penalty is for the rabid.  life in prison is worse, and for those offenders who did horrible things as apart of a life decidedly crime filled on purpose let them rot. I think its funny that people think life in prison is more humane anyway.  I have my doubts.

I hate rapists too. They just want to seduce other people so that they can gain the better of it. And it's gross.

Aw, Monster, that's such a messy way to go!\n\nDo you hate people so much that you want to leave them with that gruesome, horrifying discovery? That's not depressed, that's just selfish!\n\nC'mon now, you know that's not the answer.

Because they are miserable people themselves.  They aren't happy with their life, so they take it out on the rest of us.  Wish it wasnt that way though!!

Ignorant, judgementall people who hate other people for their life choices.

I have met executioners and they tend to be people who strongly believe they are carrying out one of their many job responsibilities.  They take no joy from it, but neither do they shy away from being part of the system's mechanism for the ultimate punishment.  I did not get the impression that the people with whom I met were psychopathic or sociopathic (as most other thrill-killers would be).\n\nTo put this answer in context, by the way, I am not generally in favor of the death penalty because I think our system of justice is far too imperfect for it to ever be fairly and equally meted out.
