Human Predators It's not just the deviant hypnotist that preys on innocent women. There are many other notable professions that shamelessly exploit their fellow man. This is the next level of predator in the human species. This is the human parasite, because they maintain their existence by living off of others. People such as this have no shame or remorse about fleecing others, which tends to put them in the category of psychopaths, the most dangerous of all. They claim that they're helping people, but all they're really doing is helping themselves to other people's money. Even the Bible says to stay away. |
