"Sadder still that someone didn't take his violent fantasies - writings seriously." -Beardguy
I call bullshit; I used to draw and write and fantasize about all kinds of bad things (some of the more vivid ones were of skinning my Mom while she was lecturing me about something) and I turned out alright. I never acted on anything. People are always in control of themselves and need to accept that responsability.
I hear that, Uschi. I had lots of angry fantasies where I got even with all those who hurt me badly when I was younger.
I turned out okay in that I would not harm another except in self defense....
The kid did get into trouble but many people do when they are young... it's how we learn from experience not to do certain things.
That leaves us back to the question : How can ya tell who is gonna turn out okay and who is gonna be the next mass murderer?
make sure they die and don't get book deals. That will deal with 1/2 of them.
