It's only words, but it really upset me reading it.

Screw them. So i guess any of us who aren't on Facebook and Sh*tter is a psychopath? Just because we don't let everyone know what we're doing and putting up pics of us doing the duck face we're psychos? Not everybody wants to put their business out there. Most people who are on facebook are followers. Society needs to get its priorities straight.

I'd say it's foolish to generalize either way.

It's the Daily Mail, not exactly a font of worldly wise knowledge.

Whoever wrote that article probably doesn't even know what a psychopath really is and lumps all killers into the definition of psychopath.

The fact that you're not a UK citizen and know that speaks volumes.

The title of the thread is enough for me to not even click the link (that, and a slow Internet connection

). Sounds like rubbish.

I agree, the daily mail sucks balls. It's just filled with hate, and my mother reads this sh*t.

lol my sister told me this. If anyone buys into this crappy article... maybe they are the ones who should be looking at their lives.

Im telling you straight up facebook can be downright evil! I watched a verbal war between a bunch of people when the wall thing first came up and you could post anonymously on it. There was death threats and some of the most horrible things said about other people that I had ever heard. These people were just plain cowards, they would never have said any of this to the faces of these victims. Some of it resulted in people vandalizing my friends property by secretly pouring sugar into her gas tank at night. It cost her so much money to get it fixed. Later I found out who did it because they were bragging about it and i pushed all my fear aside and confronted them and they were really scared which i didn't know i could be scary haha. I actually got them to come forward and they repaid her for the damage. It didnt stop there, and i vowed never to have facebook again. That was probably about 6 years ago.

So tell me, do I sound like a psychopath? Do you think that im suspicious?
