Sick, twisted and perverted minds, what is wrong with people?

I really have to question why people have such twisted minds. For those who have been around today, you probably know what I'm talking about. You've seen it and continue to see it. There are people with twisted, perverted minds who crave the negative attention that they're getting, they actually thrive on it. The problem is, people don't ignore it, they seem to encourage it. Why is that? Do you feel that you need to continue to egg the person on? Does it make you feel important to do so? It's not just the trolls that bother me, but they certainly don't help. Some people have to talk about things that uncomfortable to others, topics that people don't normally openly talk about. Can someone explain that to me, or is it so complex that there isn't one true answer to my questions?

this troll seemed to be an old who use to be some who was once an asset tot his place that contributes a lot until you know who started to try get attention. Internet has been a perfect place to those sick demented people because they can speak out all their nastiness without paying for their actions because they were in the comfort of their own home.

Some do pay for their actions, it has been known to happen. If there is an investigation done, a lot of the time people get arrested for their stupid behavior.

The internet is a place where the wimps run free. Any idiot who doesn't have much of life and who get's off on getting negative feedback and giving it will sit behind a computer screen and type as much garbage as they possibly can manage because THAT is their poor excuse of trying to intimidate someone. In reality these so called internet thugs or trolls wouldn't dare approach someone on the street and do the things they do or say. I am a YouTube member and I see this alot on that website. I have been targeted a few times. Usually after I fire back at them, they pretty much leave me alone. Some people just wany attention and they will do anything they can to get it, even if it means to intentionaly aggrivate somebody. I try my best not to encourage negative behavior, because that is exactly what some of them want. They want to make you angry and make you feel uncomfortable as possible. That's just what internet bullies do and bullies outside the cyber world.

these kinds of people can be encouraged by weakness and anger. they just have to be ignored. the world is changing day by day. i am still hoping that there is hope for everybody against evil. the internet is one manifestation of the how the world is turning.

Maybe they can not get attention from the real world,so they've tried it here on the net and here in mylot. Their sick mind can't get enough till they achieved the attention that they're looking for. have a good day

The problem is that most of the time, they can't get enough, and that is a big problem.

Perhaps if we were to stop encouraging and sensationalizing it in things like entertainment we would be better able to deal with it. Its unfortunate that we tend to turn, tho inadvertantly perhaps, into hero type these types of people. But simply ignoring it would not suffice either. I think it would fuel such persons into being moreso in their perversion to demand attention. Its a difficult question which probably explains why we have overall advanced so little in our humanity while our toys have not been so restrained.

I guess that's true, but ignoring them can help, even if it doesn't help much. By not giving in to their desire for attention, they do sometimes get bored and stop. But then again, they'll probably go somewhere else to get the negative attention.

I can't see anyone encouraging perverted or twisted behavior unless they are like that. I for one can't see myself supporting such behavior. The world is corrupt enough without someone encouraging cruel things to continue. What helps me is to associate myself with people who share in the same views as I do.

I do not participate in those discussions, because making people squirm seems to give a feeling of power to the person who is doing the agitating. I avoid conflict as much as possible, but on the other hand, I would not be surprised if it decided to knock on my door anyway. Let's get back to having some fun here.

I don't understand it either. People have minds that can reach a whole new level of sick for absolutely no reason. We as bystanders give them their attention because it gives us something to talk about. Scarily it can be related to talking about celebrities. We want to see them fall so we can talk about something.

There is too much wrong with the people today, Like in my other discussion of how can people kill people. There is so much hatred and evil.. it just exists and at times no matter where, when, they do appear and there will always be people that will tolerate them and even be fun that they are around. even here in mylot.

Yes, i do know what and who you're talking about and i did take the appropriate action in hopes of putting an end to this, at least in this case. People like this crave attention, good or bad , it really doesn't matter and the more attention they're given, the worse they become so egging them on does no good, since this is exactly what they're looking for.The best thing we can do is ignore them or if possible, take the necessary steps against their actions. You ask, "What is wrong with people?, well, you answered that question in the very title of your discussion, they don't think as normal people do, they have no moral conscience, nor do they believe anything is wrong with them and the only way their sick ego gets bolstered, is by others who are like them and think as they do. And the reasons for their behavior "is" very complex and can be caused by a number of things that are far too many to list here.

I have know idea what you are talking about. Not sure I even want to know. But I do think there are a lot of sick, twisted and perverted minds in this world. I hope whatever this is about has resolved itself to some extent. I know we can't change the minds but maybe we can change the direction. Best Wishes!

The truth is everyone who tries to comment on it is trying to shut the guy/girl up, but fail.. And the person revels in getting all the attention. I have seen mostly that ignoring most of the said kind of people usually gets you the best result.. They tire out after a while and try better forums or go to make new logins, either ways we are saved some valuable time

id never understanded that kind of people, as you say they are twisted or they just want attention maybe thats the awnser. because they cant get attention on the good way (making good posts, etc.) they do it on the bad way (trolling, spamming, etc.) that would be my awnser to your question.
