    Default what is this world coming to?

    maybe shit like this happens all the time in the states, but for lil ol nz, its a lil weird.

    and sad as hell.


    a guy commited suicide on the motorway,by walking infront of a truck.ok so that sucks. the worst bit was the guy must have already killed a child ( slit throat) and left it in the back seat of the car.

    i mean what the hell is going on here!? is this a normal day in the states?! excuse my small country and naiviety, but this kinda thing just doesnt happen down there.very very sad.

    although, in saying that,in the last year nz has had a HUGE methamphetine problem, and ppl are going phsyco....

    I hate things like that. It's so sad. Things are so negative that I just don't watch tv or read the paper. I know bad things are happening, so I don't need to read about them everyday. Depressing.

    That is very sad.

    Sadly, shit like this happens every day all over the world!

    If you knew of every story from every state and country throughout this world, you would want to lock yourself in a room somewhere and never come out.

    The world is full of Psycho's.....
    The last time I checked, the statistics were something like this:

    A burglary every 11 seconds
    An armed robbery every 65 seconds
    A violent crime every 25 seconds
    250 rapes a day
    and a murder every 24 minutes......


    I'm sure those have changed within the last few years....

    No this is not a normal day in the US. When something like that happens here it is just as big an outrage as if it happened anywhere else. It may seem like bad things happen more often here, but when you look at the population and all the things that come with living in such a diverse society, it's no surprise we get alot of crap going on...

    Too bad he took the easy way out by killing himself. There's things much worse than death, which IMO he deserved.

    If you live long enough, you get to see and hear about everything.

    Unfortunately, that kind of thing does happen pretty often in the states. People kill their children because they are so warped they think it's better for them to be dead than to live without ME, or be raised by ME and be imperfect. Psychologists say that this is the worst form of narcissism, and I hafta agree.

    People also throw themselves in front of trains, subways, etc. What's really sad about this, is that in taking their own life, they are also ruining someone else's. Many truck drivers, and train engineers have to spend a lot of time in therapy to get over the guilt they feel. I think people that kill themselves all suffer from a form of narcissism in a way. They are so selfish, and everything is so "all about them" that they don't even think for a second, or care how their actions affect others.

    If there were 300 million people in NZ, you'd have even more weird things happening there.

    Truth is stranger than fiction. And frequently sadder.

    Dear mermaid, one of my favorite people is an honorary Kiwi, so I can imagine the horror you feel- he left CA to get away from that kinda stuff. And it would make you sad if I told you the stories that CA has produced from methheads doing depraved things. That drug unfortunately makes people crazed.......they truly don't know up from down.
    These things do happen. In his case, I think he was crazy in the first place and maybe needed to be amped up/ pushed into doing the deed- which in itself was a way to hurt people, like his ex. If there's a hell, he's in it.
    The reason people react strongly to the murder of children and young women is that the killing of one goes against the natural instinct of the average human being. Women and children are the last line of survival for the human race, i.e., "women and children first." This guy was just a sick twist. The least he could do was kill himself- he knew what awaited him if he didn't, someone else would have.....
