well i took forensics science and we were shown a lot of horrendous crap. the reasons for this i believe is to prepare the students for the horrors they see, and to help them maintain a logical detachment...
as far as the OP, my only concern is that he gives the impression of someone pretending to be a psychopath which is always tedious and pathetic. i could be wrong but the impression is there.

In fact, Miss Absynthe I hope you know what you'll be doing with your degree. The wild assumptions and condemnation of Daywalker is really political and judgmental. I mean actors acting all driven by whatever is great television, yet it is well... have you thought about politics or public speaking?

How "good" he may or may not be remains to be seen.
He said it was "fun" and he "gets to" look at horrible things like it's some kind of treat. Decent human beings in those professions "have to", they don't "get to".
REAL pictures of dead people that had horrible things happen to them, he loves it. He's either posturing in which case he's a fuckhead, or he's a legitimate fucked up individual. He's apparently proud that he gets to look at all this and eat his lunch (at the same time!).

We get to see real pictures of child physical abuse . Real pictures of dead and abused baby's and now real pictures of the human body in various stages of decay.
I love my class. O and I get to learn about all of this and see all of the pictures and eat my lunch at the same time.

Yesterday I was handling juvenile skeletal remains, part and parcel of studying paleoanthropology. I understand about compartmentalization and distancing yourself from what you're studying. But you don't do that through a lack of empathy, you do that through a change of perspective. You treat the material in a more respectful manner, use more respectful language. I was analyzing juvenile skeletal remains, I was NOT "playing with kids bones hur hur". If you wanted in earnest to discuss how fascinating your class was, you wouldn't write a threat called "Ra-pe, child molestation, and death". That's not respect for your work, that's being a prat.

Whatever, I am glad he is enjoying the class. All the other competition that couldn't stomach it can go home now. I think all of you are blowing a few, not so choice, words out of proportion.
I was also buzzed finding out even advance classes in my degree were easy. Not the same all, but still good knowing weird personality tests could actually work and it wasn't going to be a huge waste of time.
You're inferring disrespect for the content of the class, not seeing the big picture. I am sure Daywalker will calm and hopeful not have all zest for life beaten out of him before hand.

It is wonderful that you support his enthusiasm and appetite for viewing abused and deceased human beings.
We're not inferring disrespect, we're reading it. People who respect their fields don't open shock-threads on gothic-dot-net for attention.
What about "the competition" that can do their work or their study without bragging to the internet about all the awful things they see and how they can just keep stuffing their gob as images of suffering and misery dance before their eyes?
