and with the religion issue you mentioned... there are those extreme opinions yes... but it wouldn't be considered abnormal behavior ...because it is a norm and it has been accepted by society for so many hundreds of years... while it is not a worldwide norm.. it is considered to be a geographic norm... psychological abnormalities will be defined differently in all parts of the world

I agree. :) Usually by this point i would have expected one of us to start posting things like "Stfu, you dont know anything, what are you retarded?" But thank god, we seem above that :)

I think we see things very differently. If asked, i would say that Hannibal Lecter is in complete control of his actions. His attacks are usually done out of necessity, or anger. (or rather, a sense of "moral" superiority over the people he mangles).

This is a VERY interesting article, the writer actually builds a profile for Hannibal.

if you couldnt tell, i Live a bit at this site. MY fiance did a ton of research here for her final paper in criminal justice (she also majored in psychology).

The upside is, as with all science, it is healthy to have a difference of opinion. Keeps ideas from getting to incestuous and full of themselves.

yup.. and this is why you have people that go to different pscyhs for different problems.. just one quick note that you said about hannibal lashing out for need of superiority and ANGER.. isn't anger an impulse? :) and need of superiority seems to be a problem to me... somewhat of an obsessive compulsive nature.. the way he speaks just seems that way in general to me...

... Amen

Yes. Vlad Dracula, or better known as Vlad the Impaler.

Vlad the Impaler was the real life Dracula, and wasn't a vampire. Thats one good thing about his life...probally the only good thing there was. Dracula, or Vlad III as he was known was a member of an aristocratic family in Walachia, a Romanian state bordered by Moldavia and the mythicized Transylvania. His father Vlad II also had the name Dracul meaning dragon or devil. Dracula means son of Dracul. For some war reasons, Vlad II sons had to spend time in Turkish prisons. Dracula was in prison between the ages of thirteen and seventeen. When he was realeased at his fathers death in 1448, he decided to make his father proud and continue with the war traditions. In 1456 he made his way to the Valachian throne. As prince and ruler of the country, he was in charge. He became known as Vlad the Impaler for his ways of inflicting agony and death. He would often impale his victims on stakes, through the heart or sometimes naval, or anus, and in women through the vagina. Often there would be mass executions. Once he impaled 500 noblemen who he thought were not sufficiently impressed with his power. He once ordered others to kill thousands of people while he sat and ate a few feet away. If women were adulterers, or had sex before marriage, he would have them skinned alive. Once he had a woman impaled for bad tailoring. A man was wearing pants and a shirt made to short by his wife, so after killing her, he supplied the man with a new spouse. He would also blind people, dismember, scalp, and boil them alive. Once he invited a bunch of beggars to his castle hall for a feast, and after the feast asked if they would like to live a care free life, after they replied yes, he had the hall set ablaze killing them all. In his six year reign at the Walachian throne, he may have been responsible for 100,000 deaths. Vlad was in exile for fourteen years. For four years he was in a Hungarian prison, where he'd impale small animals, then he was called to battle again. He would then take the throne at Walachia agian, but only for two months. In January of 1477 he was killed near Budapest in a battle against the Turks. His head was taken back to Constantinople.
