I can see where he is coming from: loneliness/lack of love are probably at the bottom of his state of mind. I would have thought that ATS members generally would allow themselves to feel some empathy for this poor lost Soul. Sure what he did was unpardonable but he isn't the first and wont be the last. All I want to say now is: If you out there think HE is evil then you live in a closet. Real evil hides itself under a rock and doesn't reveal itself in this way.
"I concluded that women are flawed. There is something mentally wrong with the way their brains are wired, as if they haven’t evolved from animal-like thinking. They are incapable of reason or thinking rationally. They are like animals, completely controlled by their primal, depraved emotions and impulses. That is why they are attracted to barbaric, wild, beast-like men. They are beasts themselves. Beasts should not be able to have any rights in a civilized society. If their wickedness is not contained, the whole of humanity will be held back from advancement to a more civilized state. Women should not have the right to choose who to mate with. That choice should be made for them by civilized men of intelligence"

Can you cite this statistic for me?
It's very curious since 1 billion is a 7th of the population of the whole planet.
I know, a shock right? The actual number when you include DV, murder, forced suicide, forced prostitution, rape ,sexual crime of all variants and then child rape stats is much higher and you can visit WHO ( WHO Report, 1997) yourself for a nation by nation breakdown. All up, a billion is an underestimation and it is more likely that over half the worlds population have been abused. Almost all, 90%, of abuse vics are women/identifying as female. Almost 98% of offenders, men. * same WHO report
The figures nation to nation sway between 10% in NZ to 25% of female population in the USA. That is a quarter of the the entire female population of the USA has been raped abused or experienced DV' in last year.
I search the WHO site for the report I saw, but here are some others meantime.
# At least 1 in 3 women, or up to one billion women, have been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in their lifetimes. Ending Violence against Women, L Heise, M Ellsberg, M Gottemoeller, 1999
#International research consistently demonstrates that a woman is more likely to be assaulted, injured, raped, or killed by a current or former partner than by any other person. Findings from nearly 80 population-bases studies indicate that between 10% and 60% of women who have ever been partnered have experienced at least one incident of physical violence from a current or former partner. Ellsberg & Heise, 2005, WHO multi-country study on women's health and domestic violence/Special Eurobarometer 344, Domestic Violence Against Women Report, September 2010
Hear that? 10-60 %^ of women, ever partnered..have been abused.

This might sound weird, but that is exactly how I would expect a robot trying to be human to sound like.

I've been put through much worse than this kid. I was given zero. I was forced to give amnesty to my .... Poor kid. If he had to take it out on people who may have deserved? It still makes him insane. He probably should have started with himself first. A tough life is still no excuse to randomly kill people.

And what generation are you btw and for the record? Have you been spanked before? were you normally a good kid anyway or did you have authority problems?

I'm 33 and I was spanked and sometimes even slapped in the face a few times by my parents.
Yet the only reason I had any respect for them was not because of their authority, but because they were loving and talking to me as an adult and being good examples altogether. If you want respect you need to deserve it first, and they did. There was never any contradiction between what they expected of me and how they behaved themselves.
I wasn't a bad son but I did my share of stupid things and would often have fights with my parents as all teenagers do.
Kids love to challenge authority anyway. A spank never stopped a child for doing stupid things again

I basically agree. But authority can express itself in other ways than physical punishment.
Just take away his favorite past-time and be sure it will be as effective if not more.
To me the most important is how coherent you are in your behavior VS expecting to be respected.
Do you think a president or a judge would have any valid authority left if he behaved like a depraved person or abused his authority?
Likewise, many parents who fail to be respected by their children do so because they don't act the way they expect their children to, thus having zero coherence.
Edit: I know what I'm talking about to, I've been in charge of dozens of kids from ages 8 to 18 for almost ten years. I've seen all kind of kids you can imagine, and had to deal with them spending days together, doing stupid things thinking they were safe because their parents weren't there.
I think I know how to deal with kids too
