I'm sorry but anyone who could believe someone who looks like that Applewhite let alone buy into such an idiotic story doesn't deserve a smidgen of sympathy.

I'm so curious about the psyche of murderers i went as far as calling the Correctional Services to organise an interview for me with Donovan Moodley.  It has been two months and still waiting for their call.

Interesting Mathaz - quizzy to hear if it happens.

In the case of all the crazies coming up - they all look as evil as they arebut serial killers aren't supposed to look like one.  Was just thinking the other day - if the popular opinion is that the majority them don't look like serial killers and it's how they trick their victims - doesn't it mean that they actually do look like one? so the person who looks least like one actually is!
