Re: Re: Must be something missing in the scrambled eggs in their head.

no there is something terribly wrong I know, but they have to be put away from other folk. imagine losing a loved one senselessly to someone with this sort of mind think. i just don't understand how come someone can order that sort of ammunition online and no one knows.

Now if I went to a site that was say a......... site say by accident, I am likely to find myself deported back to Australia for visiting somewhere the country sees as dangerous.

Re: predator

Thank you. I especially like the form for its economy. A few one-syllable words carry an unusually powerful impact. Makes the reader participate more.

predator

Hi there 2902. I love the format of this piece. The question answer, interrogation style is an interesting twist and a realistic one. That's probably just how it is. Thanks for sharing your talent. Have a wonderful day. I'm about to post one called, We the people, I guess with the upcoming election I'm in a mood. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for your support and consistant visits.

Re: Must be something missing in the scrambled eggs in their head.

They're in an airtight box, is all I can think. They're not like us, at least in that regard.

Must be something missing in the scrambled eggs in their head.

What amazes me is they then expect to get a fair trial justice and their rights protected when it comes to themselves. What about those whose life they took without a care.

Re: sinome

Thank you. I got the pronunciation partly right - whenever I told others about your poems I made it three syllables, saying sin-NO-may. The meaning you worked out for the name was very interesting. My handle, 2902, is the address of the Bronx apartment house where I did most of my growing up.

chilling... isnt it... that they have so little regard for human life... and then, we humans demonstrate little or no regret when we take animal life... which after all its life as well... what makes us better than them? Our arrogance is evident and perhaps, the "predators" in their skewed view of the world through their sick minds are the epitome of arrogance... Great liines my friend. As for my name... I borrowed it from one of my favorite novels as a child... The Egypcian,. Sinome ( three silables with the accent on the fiest) is the name of the main Character and I loved it because it has "si" which in spanish means yes, no" and "me" meaning I. I thought at the time I picked it that it exemplified the confusion and dicotomy of my soul... :-) You asked loll xoxoxo

Re: lionreign

Yes, predators seem indifferent to evil, pain, and suffering. I think of the flying predator drones - destruction at a distance.

Re:adnohr

You're right. It's scary in the same way as the predator priests, many of whom don't seem to realize the evil they have done. There seems to be a moral vacuum, a failure of the "do-unto-others" rule that seems so obvious. The ethical "wires" are down, somehow, for such people.

It's worrying that some people find it easy to so completely disconnect with everyone around them. With the way our culture is headed i suspect it will become more common rather than less
