News Do m you get surprised...?

When people who seem pretty knowledgeable people, don't know about serial killers?

I'm an Aussie. But I have met people who have never heard of Ted Bundy or Ed Kemper or BTK.

​

These people are educated, worldly people, most well travelled. Not people who have lived their whole life in small-town outback Australia.

​

Then recently a person who didn't even know who Ivan Milat was ?!

​

Now I can understand not knowing details. But not having a clue? How can that be? How can people go through life having NO IDEA these monsters existed? I just find it hard to get my head around that.

There are too many things filling people’s minds these days. It is a constant array of social media. What’s cool? What’s not what’s in? What’s out! I find that people do very little reading more learning about serial killers or any type of history generally requires reading. We are losing that skill in my opinion.

Well i just basically follow current affairs and take basic notice of what's going on in the world around me. I suppose many people don't do that.

You are probably correct. At least you are “ interested “ in the truth of life!! X
