The 1970s? Shit, this ain't even the early 1990s. I'm sure there are plenty of violent episodes, and I'm sure they still have serious people. I'm just not so sure if they have the truly demented murderous sickos of days gone by. But hey, that's why I started this thread to have an open discussion about it and see what you guys think. I just wanted some fresh perspectives and not the same "laws are tougher, technology is more sophisticated" spill we usually get. Those things are factors, but it's more complicated than that.
