That is more than a little creepy. Killing bugs or for food is one thing, but that is just sadistic. | ||

When you're young enough, you have no sense of right and wrong, even if you are kind at heart. | ||

My mom had me at a young age, she always seemed to be depressed, my dad was a workaholic and didn't spend much time with me, he was a strict disciplinarian and sometimes beat me with belts, we lived in poor areas of NYC for years and crappy apartments with cockroaches, and my dad was always paranoid about the police. I was never that violent, but I often had violent thoughts which just made me feel more alienated and alone and self-conscious and with low self esteem despite a disproportionate sense of self importance. I've never had a relationship with a girl, partly because I always expect the girl to dominate me and I somehow weirdly "get off" on her making me feel lower. I don't know, a lot of things in my life seem pretty #%^€ed up. | ||

Frits does, too. So we have two psych people disagreeing with each other on this matter... | ||

I doubt that a small child is able to clearly and rationally identify his sense of empathy, or lack thereof. If this story is true, then the reasoning Aureola gave (wanting to be able to fly, and being jealous of birds that could do what he couldn't) is probably more than enough of a rationale for said child. It's strange, but it doesn't really say anything about whether he may or may not have psychopathic tendencies. And where does Aureola say he enjoyed it? He states multiple times that he felt remorse and shame for doing what he did. | ||

You know if you share actual stories about your life people will respond better, rather than an obvious made up one. Again, why do you think this is made up? Because birds have lightning fast reaction speeds? | ||

what? how is it just "nope"? It seems to me like this is pretty bad even for a kid, purposefully baiting the birds with the intent of injuring them. sure I guess you could argue "but if he hasn't been taught it's wrong, how could he know?". I remember when i was a kid, i kicked a pine-cone and it hit a bird, not even injuring it, and I felt bad for days. | ||

You are. You lure birds in, break them with stones and then drown them. Repeatedly. If that isn't creepy as fuck, I don't know what is. | ||

In any event :| no comment. It seems like once in a while SoR/EA will make an alright post and you think maybe they're not that bad, but then BOOM they come out with a really weird post again...though if I recall correctly the last one wasn't exactly fantastic, either. | ||

this was about freedom. birds could fly, and I could not. you see, when I threw rocks at birds my intention was never to kill them, but to handicap them, to blow out one of their wings so they could never fly so freely so high in the sky ever again That is so cliche that I can't count the numbers of books I heard a version of that in and I'm not really into reading. Also, i always thought birds are cute, I loved birds... no problem killing them ether if its needed, did cut the neck of a few chickens when I was about 12 ( with my grandma helping ofc... killing a chicken is actually hard if you are stupid, almost cut the tip of my finger off :/ ) but it was mainly to brag about killing an animal with an axe :p Still... never felt like i wanted to see a bird die for no reason, I own a parrot and he is quite lovely. Insects, they can go to hell, fuck those. | ||

This study confirmed the hypothesis that APD is associated with a history of cruelty to animals. Source APD has a lot in common with psychopathy, doesn't it? | ||

To kill animals does not increase your probability of becoming a psychopath in the future, that's an argument of causation. The study itself used the words "correlate" and "correlation" quite a few times. It's bothersome because it's another media-type misleading correlation. Like when they say that people who drink coffee are more likely to live longer. People don't live longer because they drink coffee; what's going on is the slew of unaccounted variables: people who drink coffee often work, people who drink coffee might use the caffeine because they have an active lifestyle, being active probably reduces the odds that you're a fat lazy slob, and not being a fat lazy slob avoids health problems that shorten your life. Basically, what you said is technically true, but misleading, and sensationalist. | ||

You mentioned you were little, which I will admit is a rather ambiguous term and one you can alter to suit your needs, i.e. "I was talking about my stature in size, not my age". But yes as a younger person I doubt very highly that you could knock birds down with rocks from your throwing arm. There's only two situations in which I could believe this story. Either you covered the worms in superglue, causing the birds to be stuck, or the birds you are talking about are chickens, and you grew up on a farm. | ||

I'm pretty sure the "Bird" in the song is just a metaphor..that's how I have always listened to it at least. That's what the best rappers do is make the words work literally and metaphorically. MF DOOM is my favorite for this type of thing. http://rapgenius.com/Atmosphere-bird-sings-why-the-caged-i-know-lyrics I'm not really sure what to think about the actual blog, except there is definitely something pent up. PS/EDIT: For the record that's one of the worst rapgenius "translations" I've ever seen. It looks like some interpretation I would have written in 9th grade. | ||
