Dunno, the US has a lot more violent crime, people resort to violence quicker, and the US has started many more wars than any other nation.
Maybe its the interbreeding, german arrogance combined with irish stupidity?

Shut up with the "Everyone else is holier than the US" bullshit.  The US hasn't even been around long enough to be in contention for "most wars started."  The US is also certainly not the top in violent crime rates. 


As to the OP, I think the US media hypes up these things.  It is possible that the US has a high rate of serial killers, but I don't think it is anywhere near a uniquely American problem.

It's gotta be the guns!

Haha, yes "the machines made me do it." 
Nice try, but let's try to debate the topic at hand.

The quote "America breeds serial killers" may be the OP, and it is what first made me think about it, but I'm not just referring to serial killers and psychopaths.

I, for one, do think that American culture and law does foster anger and violence to a degree though I wouldn't completely blame serial killing on either. I think our governments prohibitions on things like drinking, drug use, and prostitution does deny a lot of people outlets for their aggression. I also believe certain aspects of our culture (focus on the living in the now, denigration of intellectualism etc.) does alienate a lot of people.

The 'get ahead of the next guy by any means available' attitude, and the lack of a socialised floor for those who fail are probably also contributors.

If most americans are one paycheck away from foreclosure and no healthcare then they're going to be generally stressed, jumpy and agressive towards their fellow citizens.

btw, OP, is the best you can do for Europe is Jack the Ripper? Really?

They say history is pop culture.. I see why.
Spoiler (highlight to read):
Gilles de Rais for example

People were worried about foreclosures prior to 09. The bubble burst in 05/06

Back in the news, with an addition. 6 bodies found in LI right now and 4 in Atlantic city..

They think there's two Cereal(haha get it) killers now, they suspect one of them is a retired or current police officer. Also they think that one body found in LI was from the serial killer that was locked up.

Just picked it up from Yahoo News, come to America's east cost, walk our awesome beaches and relive a scene from "Stand by Me". Also I can see how our system does breed killers, not too sure about the serial kind.

fuck off, troll. you do not engage in the civil discourse that this forum was originally designed to engender, your presence is both a bane and a blight on civil discourse, and you're a perfect example of one who disregards another's point in order to trumpet partisan stridency.

do not discourse with me again, via PM's or publicly.

Good day, sir.

I give you the impeccable, logical, rational and intellectual, mr. burnzz. A tribute to leftist ideology and reason.

lol, you say this about the US, and defend entire cultures where intolerance and inequality and superiority are the mainstay of their society, as being "only a few"?

ooooooooooook.

I've never defended Utah, or Israel for that matter.

If Burnzz is ready to hunt people down over opinions expressed in a web forum then he has bigger problems than I thought.

clever. I am content with the fact that you know of the culture I speak of, and can not really answer to it.


ya think?

If this means you have more serial killers and a higher murder rate than many third world countries I don't see the advantage.

Do they have a big problem with serial killers?

Go whine at the OP.

You explain it then.

So in other words you've got nothing.
