[QUOTE="Papist, post: 1475519, member: 21667"] Morbid curiosity? The fact that I am very close in age to the culprits and was at school at the time it happened. I'm fascinated with psychopathy, and convinced Thompson is a psychopath, which has actually allowed him to get on with his life. However, aye, it is a grim story and very disturbing - though so is war (ever seen casualties of a phosporus bomb?), famine (ever seen the picture of a starving child praying for food?), animal cruelty, and lots of other things. I don't watch these things for pleasure, but one should understand that our own salubrious bubble is not a true representation of the world. Evil exists, psychopaths exist. This story is fascinating because of the tender age of the culprits. What sort of a society created them? A Western one with a relatively good welfare state. It is not material impoverishment that caused them to do what they did. [/QUOTE]
