This is not a stupid question.. It's not one that a cut and dry answer can be given for. There are too many facets to cover even TRYING to answer that, and I have 3 years of psychology to my credit.. It's sickening and sad.. But very deeply expansive as for reason. To be quite honest, each and every murder, save for serial killings happens for a uniquely distinct and different reason, because they are committed by different people.

Ha, I "tried" several times but couldn't come up with an answer. First, I wanted to just say "human nature", but that's not really fair. After reading your reply, I think I want to say "animal instinct". Still, not fair, but I think it covers the ground I want to cover. There has to be something in the brains of some that just cause them to snap.

I don't know...I know what I want to say, but putting to words is tough.

When did this thread get serious? I come here to laugh, not think )

This is one of my pet peeves, as well as people who don't know the meaning of yield (the traffic sign, not the album).

A majority of Americans are selfish assholes. If you disagree, take 10-15 minutes of your time and sit at an intersection and observe

I thought it was just me being super judgmental when I was in the Midwest last month but seriously I think I saw 4 people use their signals.
Is the use of signals no longer taught in Drivers Ed????

Not using your signal is still a ticketable offense (plus a lack of safety, courtesy and common sense). That's the whole point of it - to SIGNAL to those around what you intend to do.

I almost wish instinct didn't kick in when some dumbass is drifting into my lane as though I should know what they're trying to do. One day I'll let one of them hit me instead of slamming on my brakes.

Dummkopfs!

A ticketable offense ) I haven't seen a police officer use one in awhile.

JWPearl

another silly question, when you can ask authority instead who done it... why accuse the innocent to save a lying ass

They should, dammit! And even moreso, on the woman (and people like her) who, while I was driving back to work just now, was so entranced by whatever was going on with her phone that she actually braked at a green light and cut me, all behind me, and HERSELF off.

Pulled next to her and I tried to give stink-eye but she was too embarrassed to even look at me. When the light changed, my car hauled ass to bypass her.

(I guess this begs the question...anyone else have a violent-fantasy spank-bank? )

She should be embarrassed. I would have given her more than the stink-eye....I would have shown her the NY state bird.

Ha! - much as I can go nuts (ie, yelling) within the confines of my car, I've never once flipped someone off! Too many nutso road-ragers on the streets of LA.

I've gotten outta my car and knocked on the window to tell at idiot drivers!! Lol but not here in Co. Here we have aMake My Day law where if you feel your life is being threatened.. You may shoot an asshole.. As long as there's a way to prove in court that you felt endangered.. Lol so I curb those instincts in this state for sure..

hedonist

"Make my Day" law - based on Mr. Eastwood/Dirty Harry, I presume?

Yeah, it's like what my mom told me about (unprotected) sex when I was a kid.

"Those few minutes (!!!??) of pleasure aren't worth the consequences"

Lmao!! Right???
