Whats the possible purpose behind threads on crime stories?

I really want to know…whats the objective in sharing the twisted/weirdass crime stories??

xyz killed,beheaded,multiliated,raped,strangled,beaten etc etc etc…

is there really anything to discuss about them? its like..agreed upon that a crime is a crime…everyone condemns is, is disgusted by it…

whats the point behind all these sorta threads?

I don’t know. :no:

Re: Whats the possible purpose behind threads on crime stories?

There are some people who post weird horror crime stories that have been committed by people of a certain race.
Let's say i keep on posting horrible acts committed by french people. By doing that i just want to say: see how cruel backwards animals those frenchs are?!

But some people post it because they can't understand how cruel one can be to commit a certain crime.

It's news.

Re: Whats the possible purpose behind threads on crime stories?

wats the difference between bot posts n that then??

Re: Whats the possible purpose behind threads on crime stories?

Bot doesn't post in Rendezvous or Society, does it? Bot doesn't engage in discussions, bot doesn't have questions, bot doesn't have opinions. People have emotions and opinions that they like to express on a public forum regarding the latest news. Everyone also condemns terror attacks but does that mean if there was a bomb blast tomorrow in Lahore that no one should report and discuss it on GS?

awareness.

intent is questionable.

Re: Whats the possible purpose behind threads on crime stories?

it doesn't hurt to actually condemn or have a positive discussion about such crime stories etc...

but when these little bits become huge generalizations or stereotype a certain kind of people to that particular event/mishap ..then that's where these threads go horribly wrong

Re: Whats the possible purpose behind threads on crime stories?

^and what do you think......how many such threads go down the way you have described??

Re: Whats the possible purpose behind threads on crime stories?

Well you must think so as you’ve just posted one such thread in Life1 yourself: http://www.paklinks.com/gs/life-and-relationships/528846-mom-strangles-son-to-take-revenge-from-ex.html

Re: Whats the possible purpose behind threads on crime stories?

some do but not all..at the end of it,it is about voicing one's opinion. Can't do much about that.
