303. There are a ton of books out there which portray men as serial killers.
Wed Feb 27, 2013, 11:16 AM
Feb 2013

I guess that means that as a society we all have a need to be serially killed.

And of course, it means that those who actually ARE killed by a serial killer were asking for it. There was something they did that made the serial killer kill them. They may even have read a book about someone who was killed by a serial killer. Which clinches it. Because reading a book about a serial killer means they secretly wanted the serial killer to kill them.

Clearly, there is something societal going on. Maybe society has beat down everyone's self esteem so they think they deserve to be serialy killed.

Like I said. This position belittles the person holding it.

Sure it was a childish skit Bay Boy Feb 2013 #1
