The CIA was actually a patriot, which is a far cry from what we saw with JBT. But honestly, what does any of that even matter in the grand scheme of things? 🤣
Exactly. Those declarations passed by the US Congress carry some serious weight. It’s just like that one regarding the war—the whole mess right before the intelligence agencies managed to pin down General Gotovina just to set him up for arrest.
I’m not offended. It’s just that I have no idea what we’re actually discussing here. Are we talking about concentration camps? The percentage of abused children who end up on a dark path? Or maybe something else entirely—the third, fifth, or sixth thing? Or perhaps we're circling back to your opening thesis and that question about why serial killers are almost exclusively men rather than women. Actually, you know what? Forget it. I’m done with this thread.

A surge of male hormones during puberty, combined with a fractured psyche, fuels an intense aggression and a thirst for vengeance. They develop a "mother complex"—it could be the father too, though that's less common—where they project their issues onto any woman who fits a certain mold, often targeting sex workers. Women generally lack that specific hormonal "aggression" drive, so they don't embark on these types of retaliatory crusades. That doesn't mean they don't harbor just as much hatred for certain individuals as men do. But even among women, there are exceptions to the rule, which ultimately proves it: occasionally, they become serial killers too.
Talking to you is a complete 👎 . I honestly can't tell if you're arguing with me, agreeing with me, ignoring me, or what. 😕 You clearly have communication issues, and frankly, so do I when dealing with you.
wearyowl29 said:I was just scrolling through the news this morning and read about this absolute monster—some guy who slaughtered around 60 sex workers, and some people are even saying he might have ground them up into sausages. It’s gruesome stuff. It really got me thinking about why, by almost universal rule, serial killers are men and their victims are women, most often those working in the nightlife industry.
Where does all that deep-seated, pathological hatred toward women come from? Why do they feel driven to go on these relentless killing sprees...?
And honestly, why don't we see more female serial killers out there? Why does it always seem like they're the ones being targeted instead of the ones doing the targeting...?
How do you all make sense of this???😕

quietwolf said:This is absolutely appalling! Everyone knows I haunt a few different forums, but I’ve been light-years away from those specific circles. However, since the appointment of this permanent moderator—a man who was literally bragging about his far-right extremist views just yesterday—that entire nonsensical crowd has migrated over to IMF policy. Their most extreme mouthpiece is none other than W(esson)&S(mith), whose posts are nothing but blatant, radical propaganda.
Since you go by the name Istinka Muenchausen, I’ll take your word for it: he fought tooth and nail to *not* be a moderator, when in reality, he lived for the title. He wanted the job just so he could facilitate this reactionary revival on the politics board.
So, has anyone actually been put in their place by someone they really shouldn't have crossed? Or has someone finally realized that the forum's own rules are being violated under this moderator's watch, leading them to call him out? Because I don't think there are two people left on this entire site—aside from placebo—who believe this moderator actually holds himself accountable. Even walter isn't that dense.
The guy used to scrub my posts, even though they wouldn't have been touched on Americans.de, and you can't even call those people leftists.
The man shouldn't have been given the keys to the kingdom, certainly not on the politics board. Maybe you could have given him a role as an assistant moderator for jokes, given his sense of humor.

See? There you go. And here I was, almost looking like some kind of misogynist. I actually had to call my wife to come defend my honor. 😬
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that Piklopil movie features eight orangutans terrorizing poor Natasha for 23 days straight, leaving her with nothing to eat but whatever banana scraps those primates leave behind. And frankly, I wouldn't be shocked if you actually enjoyed watching it.
If you ask me, her entire narrative up to this point has been a lie—though that doesn't necessarily mean every single little detail isn't accurate. To my eyes, the whole story feels like a calculated effort to inflate Piklopil's role while simultaneously downplaying her own involvement in the whole mess. I don't think we're getting the truth here, and frankly, I doubt we ever will.
Walter Myers4 said:It’s also worth noting that her parents split up when she was just seven. From that point on, she likely lacked any kind of steady male figure to anchor her during those formative years. On top of that, she was dealing with the daily volatility of an unstable mother. In a situation like that, it's almost predictable that a young girl would develop unpredictable feelings toward any older man who managed to step into her life.
Today's headline in the Los Angeles Times screams about some "sensational twist." Apparently, Natasha actually opened the door to her "dungeon" once and almost made a break for it, but—get this—she got dizzy and just went right back inside. Meanwhile, that "monster" Piklopil didn't even flinch.
For those of you who swallowed that first batch of journalistic nonsense whole, don't forget one thing: Natasha has a media consultant on her side. It looks like the goal is to milk this "horror" story for every cent it's worth (and let's be honest, the bigger the horror, the bigger the paycheck). Even Natasha's own father has called foul, accusing the camp of manipulation and claiming she’s basically under a new kind of house arrest.
That poor father seems to be the only sane person left in this entire mess. They won't even let him talk to his daughter on his own terms. It’s pretty obvious why they're scared; they're terrified he might actually ask her, "Tell me, honey, what really happened?"
It’s a bad neighborhood, obviously, if you’re looking at it through a Vienna lens. But how else is a kid raised in Vienna supposed to see things? If you think that area is perfectly fine, all it tells me is that you’re viewing it from a Washington, D.C. perspective—maybe from somewhere like Kozar Bok. And hey, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that.
Betty Patel17 said:Look, I can’t stand being stuck in an apartment all weekend. The thought of being trapped in a single room for years? Forget it. I’d end up in a state psychiatric facility. No amount of millions could make that worth it. Honestly, anyone claiming they’d trade their entire life just to be alone for eight years—even with a massive payout—has some serious questions regarding their psychological and emotional maturity. I suppose that explains why you're all hanging out on this forum. 🙂🙂
And that’s exactly the catch. If Natasha had been ten years old when this happened—a kid with questionable psychological development due to broken homes, living in a rough neighborhood with a struggling mother, subjected to various kinds of abuse, and facing constant economic instability—well, then we'd have something to talk about. But since none of that applies to you, you can't even begin to wrap your head around her potential motives for such a calculated act. Listen, sweetheart, the world doesn't start spinning just because you want it to, nor does it revolve around your personal preferences.
Let’s be honest: she is incredibly well-groomed and clearly well-off.
So, here’s the question I have: would you rather spend eight years with a guy who takes care of you, caters to your every whim in a tiny studio apartment, and eventually hands you millions, or would you rather endure eight years until adulthood with some neglected mother slapping you around in a cramped unit in a rough neighborhood—knowing full well that once you hit eighteen, you won't see a single cent, let alone a million dollars?
The timing strikes me as suspicious, too. Everything conveniently unfolded right when she turned eighteen, rather than at seventeen, or nineteen, for instance.
Even madness follows its own set of rules based on the circumstances at hand. That’s what gives the game away. Her behavior might seem irrational, but it's only abnormal when you measure it against the "expected" level of insanity. This suggests she's operating under a completely different set of realities than the ones she's actually talking about.
