4. They tend to come from unstable families.
5. As children, they are typically abandoned by their fathers and raised by domineering mothers.
6. Their families often have criminal, psychiatric and alcoholic histories.

8. It is common to find that as children, they were abused—psychologically, physically and/or sexually—by a family member.
9. Many spend time in institutions as children and have records of early psychiatric problems.
10. They have high rates of suicide attempts. Check.
11. From an early age, many are intensely interested in voyeurism, fetishism, and sadomasochistic pornography.

1 cuz I have two halves.

1. The majority are single, white males. (Soon I will not be single though as I am engaged)
13. Many are fascinated with fire starting.

I guess I just think fire, fireworks, explosions and the like are neat and interesting to watch it's not like I go around torching shit for giggles though.

Wow, I'm shocked to see that this got so many responses. Looks like my forensic teacher has effected me once again.

Seeing the poll numbers, I think I should start sleeping with a shotgun now.
