Today's Carolyn Hax is pretty sad, about life long emotional abuse by a father.
One woman posted that when she reads of children (not necessarily children AGE, but offspring) who kill their parents, her first assumption is that they were abused by their parents.
I tend to agree with that (or sometimes there is severe mental illness on the part of the offspring).
But I think in the case of the Menendez brothers (remember them? spoiled rich kids in SoCal?), I think it was more the result of a lifetime of overindulgence and ridiculous spoiling, resulting in a case of heightened self-entitlement that led to their shooting their parents.
I'm bored. I think I'll go read about them at wiki and see if I'm wrong or what.

I think you're right. There was also a kid down here, pretty recently, who threw a party and told his best friend that he'd killed his parents. Sure enough, they were dead in their bedroom. I don't remember anything in the story about him having been abused, he was just a nutjob.

Had to take my leaf blower in because it wouldn't start. Turned out the fuel line had corroded. The mechanic said I should use medium grade gasoline because there's less lead and that will help prevent corrosion in the future. He said you should use the medium grade stuff for things like lawnmowers and other small engines. But for your car, regular is fine.

Sociopaths with no sense of right or wrong.

I have been reading about narcissists recently. Curbstone diagnosis: they were mutually enabling wounded narcissists.

As I understand it, the jews say he existed, they were even willing to call him a prophet, but balked at the messiah title.

The difference seems to be thehat some posts have been deleted.

Same with the Muslims. Jesus was a prophet to them.

That's crazy!

I read that article that Red posted the link for. It was sad. Poor woman probably has no self-esteem at all left.

I googled and easily found the story Jmw mentioned.

THe guy is acting all remorseful, but some guy in jail says he laughs about killing his parents.

I think every fourth post of Mutt's is deleted as a matter of course.

YNo one knows whether they were fictional characters or real. There are arguments on both sides. And while the bible is not completely accurate in terms of historical facts, that is not to say there aren't ANY accurate historical facts or some truths in it, as your line of thinking suggests to you.

Never said it was completely devoid of facts, just as a whole it is not an accurate history book.
Hell, a lot of what I learned as history in school turned out to be fiction. The winners write the books. Much has been disproved through science since some of those were written.

Nice attempt at back-pedaling. That's not what you said.

You should probably read all subsequent posts before you make an ass of yourself.
