Missing Choice: Ed Gein? (5.00 / 1) (#2) |

Where is Ed Gein? Dahmer is by far most interesting on the list but I'd have voted for Gein if he was there. Far and away the sickest pup ever to rob a grave and dine on long-pig, even if he didn't rack up the body count Henry Lee Lucas managed. |

And let's not forget that Ed Gein inspired the seminal psycho-with-a-chainsaw film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. How many of the others on this list have inspired a classic movie? Adequacy.org - love it or leave it. |

You usually complain that there isn't a Natalie Portman option, so I think we should add one to this poll... Adequacy.org - love it or leave it. |

but those pictures were just... really disturbing... this one in particular. he had this guy tied to a table. he had syringes in him which he used to inject windex and other chemicals. he had jumper cables attached to the guy which he used to shock him. i don't know if that's what he was doing the time the picture was taken, but this guy was still alive, with all of this shit attached to him with this look of horror in his eyes. it was chilling.
berdella ran a shop in kansas city called the bizarre bazaar where he sold torture devices and implements of destruction from all over the world and throughout history. he studied art in college and one of his exhibits was: he gave the viewer an egg and made them walk through this maze with images of death all over the place. he had it setup so at the end, the person would be startled. i'm not sure if he had a live chicken getting its head cut off or a video of it. anyway, the idea was that when startled, the viewer would crush the egg in their hand. unfortunately, berdella died of a heart attack before he could be properly exterminated. |

What is twisted is the American culture that spawned so many of these killers. |

But then, I didn't say it had. I just said that America's culture spawns lots of serial killers. The European has a population far in excess of the United States (350million vs 248million) and we don't have anything like the number of killers you Americans have. Perhaps its because America is a more 'anonymous' and 'transient' society. Everyone is always on the move, making it easier to kill people without getting caught. time to give a Newtonian demonstration - of a bullet, its mass and its acceleration. -- MC Hawking |

The high incidence of Christianity is to blame (5.00 / 1) (#14) |

Remember that the doctrine of fundamentalist Christianity (as practiced in the United States) is salvation through faith, not salvation through works. Therefore, the mind of a Christian serial killer works like this: as long as I accept Jesus as my savior, it doesn't matter what I do on this planet, including killing as many people as I possibly can. This nihilistic worldview explains the high serial killer rate among the fundamentalist population. When was the last time you heard about a Catholic serial killer? Catholicism teaches salvation through works, which is the most healthy worldview for a productive and civilized society. This has been demonstrated time and time again and the Protestants will not allow themselves to be told that the Catholics are right on this issue. Until the Protties learn this lesson, I fear that they will continue murdering as many people as possible. |

Last time I checked, Catholics were Christians. :-)
Do you have any data to back your claim that the majority of serial killers were fundamentalist Christians? I'll bet this is not true. 6e77a 70 6e 6e7a! |

You must be retarded if you believe that drivel. This followup is a more reasonable argument. Even if Catholics are perverted in some way, they still meet the dictionary requirement for Christian:
One who professes belief in Jesus as Christ or follows the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus You could argue they have it all wrong, but they still profess a belief in Jesus as Christ ever Sunday, therefore Catholics are Christian. 6e77a 70 6e 6e7a! |

They included my hometown killer--ted bundy. Awww yeeeaaa. Well, if not from my hometown, he was finally arrested here. Oh yeah, and don't talk about your homosexual "Arthur Shawcross," either.

His body count is low (only 5), but I've always found the Zodiac killer to be one of the more interesting ones. You have to get extra credit for talking to the police and the press and still not getting caught. |
