Posted on 02/17/2013 8:07:04 PM PST by BenLurkin

A sociopath is characterized by the deficit of social emotions such as love, guilt, shame or remorse. According to the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, the sociopath lacks "a sense of moral responsibility and social conscience." Sociopaths often scheme to manipulate others without regard to consequences of inflicting harm. It is the cold-hearted way the sociopath reacts to his victims that illustrates his lack of moral compass and detachment from other human beings.

Verify stories and information provided by the suspected sociopath. Sociopaths typically concoct elaborate backgrounds, inflate their worth and experience and simply lie to convince others to give them what they want.

Look for lack of expression of guilt or remorse for wrongful actions towards others. Lack of emotion and failure to express remorse typically signals sociopathic tendencies. Sociopaths convicted of violent crimes typically remain expressionless and exhibit a cold exterior.

Hubby’s sis is one of those non-murdering sociopaths. We extricated her from our lives about 6 years ago but are still dealing with her crap because of what she did to their father. You are correct, it never seems to end.

Heres a real good example!
Alec Baldwin, who believed Kenneth Starr should be 'knee-capped' for investigating Clinton.
Alec tweeted, “If Hank Williams Jr wasn’t such a pathetic, wheezing fossil, I’d have a talk with him.”
Baldwin told Vanity Fair magazine that he wanted to kill TMZ’s Harvey Levin.
Levin is the man who exposed Baldwin for his nasty voicemail to his daughter Ireland in 2007.
Alec said of Harvey, “I wanted to stick a knife in him and gut him and kill him, and I wanted him to die breathing his last breath looking into my eyes”.
But that’s not all! Baldwin admitted he fantasized about killing his ex-wife’s lawyer during his nasty child custody battle with Kim Basinger.
Not to mention calling his kid a 'Thoughtless Little Pig’ & ‘If Obama was white, he’d be up by 17 points’

Definate sociopath and hard-core libtard!
