(Vanity) Mental Illness
None of the above | Now | Me

Posted on 08/16/2005 9:59:01 PM PDT by TBP

On O'Reilly tonight, they wree talking about the BTK killer. He was described as a sociopath, someone who has no concern for anyone but himself, a person capable of doing harm with no remorse at all.

By that standards, aren't most politicians sociopaths?

I think that anybody who seeks, while having a reasonable expectation of winning the Presidency of the United States, has some real "issues".

I love GWB, but to see what the job has done to him physically is unnerving, never mind the unseen emotional toll.

Why anybody would want to subject themselves to a position of such gravity is beyond me.

May God continue to bless you with strength, courage and wisdom, Mr. President.

My wife once saw a shrink on Oprah who said that 1 out of every 25 people is a sociopath.

That would suggest that there are 1200+ sociopaths inhabiting FR.

If you take into account the posts/comments from the past 3 weeks on FR, I think the shrink on Oprah low-balled the ratio.

OTOH, It's entirely possible that tlbshow has 1200+ different registered FR profiles.

It is important to remember what we have been programmed to forget - we are all selfish by design.

Socialism itself is sociopathic in that the well being of the individual takes a back seat to misguided notions of greater social equity. Thus murder is easily justified. Just eggs for the omelette.

I think you have ID'd one of the most influential sociopaths of the 20th century. Charming, intelligent with no conscience, and wouldn't tell the truth on a bet.
