Killers Are People, Too

   In a world where people make the effort to be politically correct and be tolerant of other people's views, no matter how ridiculous they are, I'm surprised that we still haven't made efforts to give legal rights to psychopaths, to be able to kill other people without the disapproving glare of the intolerable portion of the society.

   Here's something to think about: Two days ago, the ban on gay marriage in California was overturned by a federal judge. Surprised? Dismayed? Well, you shouldn't be. Everyone knows that homosexuality has its roots in genetics and that people who are gay have no choice in the matter. We're taking steps towards positive change for one group of people who didn't ask to be born unacceptable to society's standards... Why not do the same for another?

   I know there are those who will say, "No, people are not born with violent and sadistic tendencies. Childhood environment is what decides if a person becomes a psychopath. There are even people who used to lead a violent lifestyle, but no longer are." Well, I have news for you: Those who say they used to, but no longer have sadistic desires are either outright lying or delusional. Probably most, if not all, were never psychopaths in the first place; They're just part of the hateful mob, most likely religious fundamentalists, trying to spread the grossly mistaken propaganda that psychopathic tendency isn't natural.
   I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Psychopaths can't help themselves. It's not like they want to be psychopaths knowing full well that the society will look down on them, and even hate them just because they're different. People shouldn't have to hide who they are, or be ashamed of what they're born to be. It's simply an alternative lifestyle. Why is it okay for humans to hunt other animals for sport, but not other human beings? We see animals of the same species hurt and kill each other all the time... In other words, psychopathy is only natural. Let the psychopaths come out of the basement!
   And you hateful, religious people... You speak of love and yet you hate psychopaths... You claim that God doesn't want people to lead murderous lifestyles, and cite the 10 Commandments and other Bible verses in attempt to support your misled theology, but it only demonstrates your ignorance. All the anti-killing verses are clearly in context of idolatry worship, such as offering children sacrifices or slaughtering groups of people to please gods. God doesn't oppose psychopathic tendencies, and He clearly does not hate psychopaths, so why should you? In fact, God condones hurting and killing in the Bible; He brought on painful plagues on people and commanded the slaughter of multitudes. For God's sake, He even killed His own Son!

   Now, there's one argument that frequently comes up, and I'll debunk it... yet again... here. The anti-psycho movement often claims that, unlike homosexuality, psychopaths hurt other people. To that, I say... well... DUH! And if you really naively believe that the support of the gay/lesbian movement doesn't hurt others, I don't know what to say to you. Are you so blind as to not understand that hate crimes on anti-gays, passage of AIDS, and gay rapes are all fruits of the pro-homosexuality mentality (Of course, I'm not saying pro-gay movement is the only source of these social ills, or that they're the only possible fruits)? And, more importantly, this is only a straw man argument. Like nobody argues for homosexual crimes to be accepted, people like me are not asking for psychopathic crimes be pardoned.
   In America, we believe in the pursuit of happiness, and we believe no one should take away the right of another human being from doing what makes him/her happy. So who are you to deny psychopaths their joy...? We pro-psychos are pushing for some sort of a legal outlet for psychopaths to pursue what makes them happy... to have a license to kill, if you will. Like two consenting adults who come together in a beautiful commitment to bear fruit to their gay desires, I envision a world where two consenting adults can kill and be killed.
   The world is full of people to be tortured and murdered. There are over 1 million suicides worldwide... These are potential kills, simply wasted. More people commit suicide than are killed! And think about the patients who need to be euthanized, terrorists who need to be questioned, criminals who need to be executed. Don't let an unwilling person become potentially traumatized from inflicting pain or taking the life of another... Let those who are bubbling with sadistic tendencies do it instead. Give psychopaths the chance to be openly psychopaths! After all... it's only natural.
