Why are people like this? (3 Viewers)

I Don't focus on the vocation of the person about whom the article is written. Those are the articles that I find. Lots of police and politicians make the news as well. I think that it's because regular person does bad thing doesn't get the same exposure as the other stuff.

I guess I just don't understand the point of posting articles of depravity on here. We all know this sick ish is happening - if you don't, you're being intentionally naive. It gets posted and then it's like okay ...now what? Are we supposed to do something with that info?

I still go back to my point about "Christians" in this country. The good ones are too silent for my taste and for me personally, as soon as someone starts talking about god, Jesus, being a Christian or Catholic, I am beginning to lump them all together because the sane ones are just not pushing back on the fundamentalism or depravity enough for me to take them seriously.

the thread title is Why are people like this... its gonna involve a lot of depravity.... you take the info at face value and continue the question, why are people like this?
when people like this infiltrate positions of trust, escpecially trust of our children, they are the sickest of the sick.. and in a time when too many people worry about a man in dress reading books to children, these kind of articles need to be shown even more..

I think the focus is on teachers and pastors because that is who we trust our children to the most.

My point is, there are plenty of pedo posts in this thread and you'd be hard pressed to find a person who doesn't think that this ish is horrible - even a pedo themselves publicly would not say otherwise. So, after like the 30th pedo post, why continue to point them out? We know it's happening. When they are found out, get prosecuted or the institutions (schools, churches, etc) and politicians cover for a lot of them via religion, policy or bribes. What's new?

Same could be said about the Police Shootings / Possible Abuse Thread. we all know it happens with frequency...

I'm not normally an advocate for the death penalty for non-violent crimes...but damn, this would qualify.

So @CapitalCitySaint brought up the "Apple Cider Vinegar" Netflix series about scammer Belle Gibson from Australia. And I mentioned having missed the ABC Scamanda doc which is about Amanda Riley. And then on Peacock there's "Anatomy of Lies" which is about Elisabeth Finch who is a television writer known for True Blood and Grey's Anatomy. What do these 3 ladies have in common? They all very elaborately -- I mean like complete with faked pictures of being in hospital beds and medical reports and the like -- claimed to have cancer and never did.

I think they all insist they never MEANT to scam anyone, it just sort of happened. Now, no one here is really talking about these cases -- or any others that might be out there -- but I ask you: Why are people like this?

Won't get scammed if you never expose yourself to them.

With Belle, yes, it was her wellness empire which you could choose to not expose yourself to.

But what do you do when Amanda and Elisabeth are your friends? Family? Coworkers? You're simply responding to someone whom you know and perhaps love that is going through an illness who knows you will not ask any questions.

And it's not just the money. It's the false empathy others who WERE ill were betrayed with as the scammers express that they are "going through what you're going through".

I stay away from people. That includes family.
