    sexual abuse is usually never the case, we simply take pleasure in watching things burn

    You have read me completely.. the desire for power, the glow of the embers, the beauty of the dance fire makes and the destruction of what humanity has plagued this earth with. Although i do not agree with the constant nagging that describes sexual abuse or a likelihood to become a racist

    This article is the worst in the world. Does anyone know why pyromaniacs get pleasure from seeing homes burn? I do: It's because they have usually had someone truly force them into a sexual encounter sometime in their lives, they had no mental health help to get over it, and they start to look to inflict that MISERY they went through on others by destroying their lives.
    Or, in the other case, they are people who are simply fascinated with fire and the way it looks as it burns, and think 'Bigger is better!'
