i am a very unorthodox man. one could say that i'm not exactly the most sane individual walking this planet. i enjoy horror. i watch horror movies and read horror novels. i watch videos online that would shock just about 99% of the populace, in terms of both violence and pornography, to their very core. i play violent video games while blasting slayer and cannibal corpse. i'm an athiest. i even own books like mein kampf and the turner diaries (not out of any love/support of the subject matter, simply to support free speech and the right of unpopular ideas to be printed/on the market).
knowing this, and knowing i'm not the sanest person around, i've made it 34 years of life without ever even being in a fist fight. i tear up at commercials of abused animals. i am a 6', 300lb man with tattoos and a shaved head (i look like a biker) and the other day i sat openly weeping while reading a facebook story about a shelter dog playing with a new toy that was donated. i donate to charity. i donate books to library sales. i don't cheat on my wife. i don't drink, gamble, smoke or do drugs. i'm an all around decent guy considering what i consume for entertainment. if anything my entertainments have made me truly appreciate life and how fragile it is. i abhor real life violence.
what i would call somebody who is inspired to commit atrocity by something they read/see/hear is evil. a bad seed. those are words society doesn't use anymore because we're too politically correct to admit and acknowledge that cancerous cells exist amongst this body of humanity. we think that everybody can be "fixed". there are people out there who are simply bad from day 1; they are born feral. certain entertainments may enforce the twisted ideas these individuals already have but even amongst the most peaceful societies, there are still sick, twisted nuts and we simply can't operate a society based on the assumption that we're all murderous child rapers just waiting to explode. i like to give this species a tad more credit than that.
