Are humans born evil? Personally, I doubt it, but seeing stories such as this every so often, I cannot help but begin to wonder...

Father to be charged with the murder of his 5 children aged 1 to 8

Sorry folks, if the death penalty was worldwide, I would offer my services free of charge - just to rid the world of scum like that!

At least this s...b.. had the decency to off himself first

Ozz, apparently Clyde was a cop, or in his SEMI-retirement he is now a cop.
He probably was among those in the early 80s that voted for reducing funding to psychiatric centers.
It probably gave him more to do as a police officer, as people are more intent on criminalizing the mentally ill, as used to occur.
Wayne LaPierre squandered his chance to get a conversation about mental health going. Then again, he was probably going to try to get them put in jail.

Sarge...

Very Primitive thinking. Your 'thinking' of: Since someone was/are this, therefore they MUST be this.

That is the same, as some Unthinking Right Wing Nut Posting: Oh he was/is a Professor and a Liberal Arts University. Therefore he MUST be a MORON.

None of your Post, except noting less than 50% of my working life, makes any sense, and is totally wrong.

It is possible for you to stop this Unthinking, and Worse, Categorizing of People?

My answer: No. :) :) :)

I think it is a barbaric, primitive reaction that we must fight against to show we are better than those who can kill remorselessly.

A mother, defending her children, is a primitive reaction. I wouldn't call it barbaric tho. We will always have those primitive reactions, it's part of our nature. I think every mother with her heart in the right place would do the same as I.

I dont Think there are many mothers in this thread Julie
Many fathers though.

Oh, there are a few mothers here. I have children and grandchildren and I think Julie is wrong about other mothers. Perhaps that urge to kill might exist for a few seconds but I hope I would never kill anyone.

I really hope not.
Should I cancel your visit?
*gulp*
I also find the existence of PTSD from soldiers returning from war one of the most hopeful aspects of humanity.

This is true. People have to be programmed to kill. It is not as natural as some people think. Although infanticide is more common than seems to be acknowledged. I am surprised that Gary has not bought up how in nature mothers who are stressed or unable to feed their young often kill them.

In Scandinavia in old ages, mothers sometimes put the new born childs in the forest when they couldn't support them.
But most of the times they put the Child in front of a Church door.
It sometimes happens even today:(

I'm sorry you do not know a common phrase from a POLITICAL pundit here in the USA. Please refrain from speaking to me or about me when you lack information. Otherwise you just make the political discussion more absurd. For the time being, you should put me back on your ignore filter or stop un-hiding my posts.

Goodbye for Now, so long!

You think the 1 in England is bad how about this 1 .....

Very tragic .


From the article:

“There was absolutely no indication that anything was wrong or that anything like this was about to happen. He appeared to be in fine spirits. He’s a lovely guy, very easy going and he seemed happy and perfectly normal,” he said.


I have noticed already that this is very reoccuring in stories like this. I really wonder how it comes?

Julie we have a lot of farmers that commit suicide here when things are not going to well .
When your closest nabor is 3 hrs plus away and you have to rely on sat phones and radio it can get very lonely out on the land . No people to talk to about your problems . The wife was a nurse and she had a car accident i think and was very badly hurt so i'm thinking it was all just to much for him and he just lost it in depression and took the family out and then himself .

depression can make a sane man do insane things but that does not mean they are nessasry evil just depressed and need help .

very tragic

It's just so strange, one day, there's nothing wrong with those people and the next day they kill someone! My mum's BF had the same at his work. He says good evening to his perfectly same and normal colleague one evening, the next morning he hears this person is in psychiatry, under heavy medication for thinking he's Jesus (?) I think it's the stress from always having to live up to the high expectations in today's society that's wrecking those people.

Little My is a very abrasive person who almost always succeeds in persuading her listener or discussion partner. She is an unconventional debater who uses emotion and logic to win arguments. She typically makes a personal attack on the person she is having the discussion with or about, states her own undocumented conclusions, exaggerates her opponents' arguments to ridicule them, and uses nonverbal effects to show her opponent's inferiority.


Thanx for explaining what this drawing means Janne:)

Yes Glenn. Depression often ruins your own Life. Sometimes others as well.
My girlfriend had a hip surgery last summer.
Since then she starts to show some depressive behavor.
