    There are a lot of weird fucking stories in the news lately of people..just ordinary people just totally losing their shit.

    Seems weird, maybe due to the economy, the holidays and depression but its crazy how many nutbags are in this world!

    I think all of these statements about why are pretty accurate. Some people are more prone than others though.

    Ehizzy3, your avatar almost lines up with your signature. I think you are saying you like to kill aquatic animals, PETA has been informed.

    Have you noticed that they are almost all from Texas? When you read any site's Weird News, you'll notice that most of it happens there.

    Since Texas is huge and has the 2nd most people in the US... I'd expect more shit to happen there. Also could be the drive through liquor stores. =)

    To be honest... I am not sure the ratio of weird shit is going up... but out ability to report on it sure has. We are aware of all the weird shit that happens anywhere in the world now and if you are so inclined you can start thinking that the world is a small place and all the weird shit is happening right next door... but when you really look around to what really is your space... your friends neighbords etc... it usually seems pretty sane. Of course in this world you have to be crazy to be sane.

    I see it too. The world is going downhill. Mankind is failing. Was it like this 40 years ago? Is this just how life is? The older I get, the more fucked up stuff seems. Was it like this a long time ago also? Or is this new?

    No, it's not new. This stuff has been going on forever. People kill people when they are stressed. People kill people. Notice I didn't say guns kill people.

    Okay well that makes me feel a little better. I just have been feeling it lately. People are mindless. At least it is nothing new.

    You don't think it's easier for a 15 year old to kill someone now with a gun, than a 15 year old years back with a knife?

    Maybe it's easier, but if they're talking about weird shit going down, I'd say it'd be a more weird reading about a 15 year old skinning another kid with a knife than just shooting him.
