I thought a psychopath was dangerously crazy while a sociopath just doesn't like people.It looks like I picked a bad day to practice medicine.

I'm not a doctor either, but that is the basic definition.

"Well; they must be born that way so we must afford them special privileges. "

We already do. They can, for instance, drown their children without getting the death penalty.

They're a matched pair.
I recall the 1st time I really heard her, she was doing a bunch of quick calls to Ralk radio shows and called Joe Soucheray's show "Garage Logic". She was talking about how she missed the midwest, and how dissappointed she was that there were no garages at the WH blah blah blah. And I thought "What a phoney". This was right after the election.

O.J. Simpson, Bill Clinton and (can't recall name - senior moment) the guy who killed his pregnant wife and threw her body in San Francisco bay.

....All perfect candidates.

I think its funny but it made perfect sense to me. When I've freeped an entire day away like I have today, you could probably post ALL your responses on one thread and they would make sense to me. That's a sure sign I better get myself out of this chair!

As long as you're getting up, I could use a beer.

YUP.

Her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous--bw*tch Shrillery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Machiavelli de Marx de Stalin de Pol Pot de Mao de Castro de Arafart . . . de Sade

is certainly an Olympic class sociopath.

AS well as a traitorous, duplicitous, angry, clueless, demonized, heartless, . . . globalist idiot.

And that's for starters, only.

That is my understanding as well. A psychopath is a highly disordered sociopath. Bundy was a psychopath while Stalin was a sociopath.

In hindsight the psychopath's behavior looks crazy and has strong psychosexual elements to it while sociopath's behavior looks ruthlessly opportunistic and exploitative. Compare Ted Bundy to Jeffery Skilling. Skilling was Id'ed as a sociopathic by his own classmates at HGSB during ethics case studies. Skilling, normally a brilliant student, was baffled by the very moral principles the cases represented.

She's not next door - she's across the street.

... blend in to normal society

... they have a tendency towards laziness: once confronted they give up easily and move on to the next victim. Once spotted, it's usually fairly easy to get rid of them.

True. Confront them and whoosh. Sad, though, as everybody has been used up and she's alone this holiday season. Even her daughter has vanished.

Interesting.

Do you happen to remember the source for that?
