Why and how do villains change into folk heroes ?

It's good that you think you can control yourself (And I don't say you can't), but the fact that you HAVE to control yourself is very worrying, isn't it?

Point one, I already stated I know where the boundary is, and for the most part I stay on the corret side of said boundary.

Point two, why should I be bothered with the way I am? I can't change who I am, so I am certainly not going to worry about what I could/should have been, I just deal with it.

You post clearly shows that you don't know the differance between right and wrong.
If you went out and I pulled you arms and legs off smiling happily while I did it and I clearly enjoyed it would you care about it? I think you would and you if have got the correct marbles up above you would think it was wrong as well.

I thought I described things correctly, but I might not have. I do know whats is right and what is wrong, I just don't care a great deal of the time.

As for you pulling my arms and legs off, sure I'd be pretty damn pissed, because it affects me directly. As I stated before, it's not a matter of right or wrong that would bother me, it's that what you are doing goes against my life. I wouldn't give two thoughts to you if you ripped out some guys arms and legs in Nebraska for instance.

I understand that there are other people out there like me, and if one day their actions do directly affect me or my friends/family, then that's the way things are. I can't expect to live my life as I do and not have others live the same way, that would by terribly hypocritical of me.

You can be happy without commiting crimes. If you can't, well then you are going to have a hard time living in this world. I hipe for all of our sakes that you don't commit a crime just to make you happy.

I CAN be happy without committing crimes. I'm not trying to give the impression that hurting people is the only way I can be happy. There are many many things that make me happy that you all would approve of. I am a very happy person as a rule, i very rarely get into a bad mood, and when I do it is usually over before the day is done.

I could be that guy you chat with at work, that guy that helps you carry your groceries to your car, anyone you know. Like I said before, I very rarely discuss this type of thing with people, so most people have no clue this is the way I am. I don't see how I am in the wrong, I do everything a normal person does, I just don't follow the norm for the same reason is all.

Guess this is pursuit of happiness streched to the limit just for the sake of principal.

Reverend, I did not say you don't know where the boundary is

And your answer to point two is totally wrong. OF COURSE you can change - maybe not who you are, but how you are. Saying you can't change is either lazy, ignorant, or fearful.

Your opinion is illogical, it is not thought out to the end. If all people (or just a majority, hell, even a bigger minority) were like you, IT WOULD affect you directly. The only logical way to exist is to do unto others as you want them to do unto you. Think about this for a few seconds. If thought to the end, you are part of the society that will rip YOUR arms off. You are responsible for your own problems (the ones you may face). I fail to understand how this is to do you any good, or how a selfish person that thought about this would go the route you chose (yes, chose, and you can choose another route). Your opinion is not selfish, but destructive. Destructive to yourself, in the end. And you could achieve THAT with less effort, and leave other people alone.

Well, I am glad you can pursue a normal life and you CAN be happy without commiting a crime. All I am saying is that somebody shouldn't have the right to do something wrong just because it makes them happy. And for the record, I am sorry for calling you a sicko. The great thing about having your own mind is that you can think whatever you want and THAT is not a crime.

Rev, have you been tested for Asperger's Syndrome, or other things on the autistic spectrum?

No, I haven't. I wouldn't know how to go about such testing. A friend of mine who is very like me and I have always wondered if we actually fall into a certain "not-right" category.

No offense taken at all.
