ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY, SOCIOPATHY, AND PSYCHOPATHY


Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD) is practically synonymous with
criminal behavior, but as with all distributions of a disease or
whatever in a population, it is probable that the majority of people
with this particular affliction are law-abiding. Aging,
overinvolvements, and/or relationships might hold sway over the
control (or lack of control) in these kind of people, and although
approaching the study of offenders from a relationship & personality
disorders point of view may or may not be productive, Dr. Drew is
probably an adequate source of information on such matters. Dr.
Drew's theory (and one with wide ramifications since he pretty much
defines an antisocial tendency as thinking about one's self first) is
that women with certain kinds of disorders, like borderline
personality disorders, tend to be attracted to and hook up with men
who manifest symptoms of psychopathic personality disorder (see
Lecture on BPD & OCD) and that such match-ups may or may not be
dysfunctional. On the other hand, the field of criminology tends to
treat APD as so synonymous, in fact, with criminal behavior that
practically all convicted criminals (65-75%) have it, with
criminologists often referring to it as a "wastebasket" category.
Antisocials come is all shapes and sizes, and psychologists consider
the juvenile version of it to be a juvenile conduct disorder. The main
characteristic of it is a complete and utter disregard for the rights
of others and the rules of society. They seldom show anxiety and don't
feel guilt. Although many people would hope that there's an effective
treatment, there's really no effective treatment for them other than
locking them up in a secure facility with such rigid rules that they
cannot talk their way out. A full list of APD traits would include:



"List of Antisocial Personality Disorder Traits"

Sense of entitlement; Unremorseful; Apathetic to others;
Unconscionable behavior; Blameful of others; Manipulative and conning;
Affectively cold; Disparate understanding; Socially irresponsible;
Disregardful of obligations; Nonconforming to norms; Irresponsible.

whereas the DSM-IV "clinical" features of Antisocial Personality
Disorder (with a person having at least three of these
characteristics) are:


"Clinical Symptoms for an Antisocial Personality Disorder
Diagnosis"

1. Failure to conform to social norms;
2. Deceitfulness, manipulativeness;
3. Impulsivity, failure to plan ahead;
4. Irritability, aggressiveness;
5. Reckless disregard for the safety of self or others;
6. Consistent irresponsibility;
7. Lack of remorse after having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from
another person.



Sociopathy is chiefly characterized by something wrong with the
person's conscience. They either don't have one, it's full of holes
like Swiss cheese, or they are somehow able to completely neutralize
or negate any sense of conscience or future time perspective.
Sociopaths only care about fulfilling their own needs and desires -
selfishness and egocentricity to the extreme. Everything and everybody
else is mentally twisted around in their minds as objects to be used
in fulfilling their own needs and desires. They often believe they are
doing something good for society, or at least nothing that bad. The
term "sociopath" is frequently used by psychologists and sociologists
alike in referring to persons whose unsocialized character is due
primarily to parental failures (usually fatherlessness) rather than an
inherent feature of temperament. Lykken (1995), for example, clearly
distinguishes between the sociopath (who is socialized into becoming a
psychopath) and a "true" psychopath (who is born that way). However,
this may only describe the "common sociopath", as there are at least
four (4) different subtypes -- common, alienated, aggressive, and
dyssocial. Commons are characterized mostly by their lack of
conscience; the alienated by their inability to love or be loved;
aggressives by a consistent sadistic streak; and dyssocials by an
ability to abide by gang rules, as long as those rules are the wrong
rules. As Stout (2005) indicates, it only takes three of the following
to be defined as a sociopath, and some common sociopathic traits
include:

"List of Common Sociopathic Traits"

Egocentricity; Callousness; Impulsivity; Conscience defect;
Exaggerated sexuality; Excessive boasting; Risk taking; Inability to
resist temptation; Antagonistic, deprecating attitude toward the
opposite ---; Lack of interest in bonding with a mate.


Psychopathy is a concept subject to much debate, but is usually
defined as a constellation of affective, interpersonal, and behavioral
characteristics including egocentricity; impulsivity;
irresponsibility; shallow emotions; lack of empathy, guilt, or
remorse; pathological lying; manipulativeness; and the persistent
violation of social norms and expectations (Cleckley 1976; Hare 1993).
The crimes of psychopaths are usually stone-cold, remorseless killings
for no apparent reason. They cold-bloodedly take what they want and do
as they please without the slightest sense of guilt or regret. In many
ways, they are natural-born intraspecies predators who satisfy their
lust for power and control by charm, manipulation, intimidation, and
violence. While almost all societies would regard them as criminals
(the exception being frontier or warlike societies where they might
become heroes, patriots, or leaders), it's important to distinguish
their behavior from criminal behavior. As a common axiom goes in
psychology, MOST PSYCHOPATHS ARE ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITIES BUT NOT ALL
ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITIES ARE PSYCHOPATHS. This is because APD is
defined mainly by behaviors (Factor 2 antisocial behaviors) and
doesn't tap the affective/interpersonal dimensions (Factor 1 core
psychopathic features, narcissism) of psychopathy. Further, criminals
and APDs tend to "age out" of crime; psychopaths do not, and are at
high risk of recidivism. Psychopaths love to intellectualize in
treatment with their half-baked understanding of rules. Like the Star
Trek character, Spock, their reasoning cannot handle any mix of
cognition and emotion. They are calculating predators who, when
trapped, will attempt escape, create a nuisance and danger to staff,
be a disruptive influence on other patients or inmates, and fake
symptoms to get transferred, bouncing back and forth between
institutions. The common features of psychopathic traits (the PCL-R
items) are:


"List of Common Psychopathic Traits"

Glib and superficial charm; Grandiose sense of self-worth; Need for
stimulation; Pathological lying; Conning and manipulativeness; Lack of
remorse or guilt; Shallow affect; Callousness and lack of empathy;
Parasitic lifestyle; Poor behavioral controls; Promiscuous sexual
behavior; Early behavior problems; Lack of realistic, long-term goals;
Impulsivity; Irresponsibility; Failure to accept responsibility for
own actions; Many short-term marital relationships; Juvenile
delinquency; Revocation of conditional release; Criminal versatility.


"DETAILED ANALYSIS OF ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER"


The diagnosis of APD has long been controversial. The criteria for
it seem to change with each and every new edition of the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-I 1968; DSM-II 1976;
DSM-III 1980; DSM-III-R 1987; DSM-IV 1994). The diagnosis was
substantially changed with DSM-III when the APA decided to distinguish
between child and adult characteristics, and essentially substituted
behavioral criteria (like truancy or law violations) for personality
criteria (like callousness and selfishness). In the DSM-III-R (R for
Revised), the focus was on violence and a list of violent acts
(fighting, cruelty to others, cruelty to animals). The current DSM-IV
approach essentially says that anything which is not sociopathy,
psychopathy or dyssocial personality disorder is antisocial
personality disorder, but there is considerable overlap. The
diagnostic possibilities are endless; there are at least 3 million
possible variations of symptoms on at least 62 different measurable
items.

Ongoing research is quite prolific into the factor or principal
components analysis of APD characteristics. Most forensic experts
believe there are 3-4 factors (groupings of symptoms). One factor
involves symptoms that cluster around what might be called a Lack of
Planning (promiscuous, irresponsible, impulsive traits and behavior).
Another factor clusters around the notion of Disregard for Others. A
third factor is clearly related to Adult Criminality. A fourth factor
is clearly related to Juvenile Delinquency. Impulsivity appears to be
a prototypical (core) feature, but it can take many forms. Definitions
of impulsivity are numerous -- a tendency to act without reflection;
dysfunctional information processing; a tendency for risk taking;
sensation seeking; and an inability to sustain attention. Rating
scales are easily available to measure these.

The incidence of APD is twice as high for inner-city residents
than in small towns or rural areas, and five times higher in males
than in females. It affects people in all social classes, but if
someone with APD is born into a family of wealth and privilege, they
will usually manage to eek out a successful business or political
career. Poorer people with APD tend to wind up in state prison
systems. Since African-Americans are seven times more likely to be
represented in state prison systems, it's tempting to speculate the
incidence of APD among African-Americans is high. However, there are
most likely other causes of crime among African-Americans (like
unemployment and racism). The fact is that most of the current prison
population, white or black, shares the APD diagnosis. All it takes is
a juvenile record, an adult offense career, aggressivity, impulsivity,
a checkered work history, and/or lack of demonstrable repentance.
These can be easily found in almost any prison inmate's dossier.

One of the things closely related to APD is the comorbidity of
alcoholism and narcotic addiction. Some of the criteria for a
substance abuse disorder are very similar: theft, hazardous behavior,
failure to fulfill role functions in home, school, and work. A strong
correlation exists between substance abuse and factor 2 (antisocial
behaviors) of the psychopathy construct. APDs with a drug addiction
have some serious substance abuse problems -- the kind that lead to
death by overdose or accident within five years. Are APD and narcotic
addiction part of the same disorder, does one lead to the other, or
are they are spuriously linked together? From what little research
there is, it appears that most of the time, APD precedes narcotic
addiction, although some of the time, addiction leads to APD
behaviors. People with such comorbid characteristics also usually have
undiagnosed other Axis I and Axis II disorders.


"DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIOPATH"


From the wild Irish slums of the 19th Century Eastern seaboard to
the riot-torn anomic neighborhoods of Los Angeles, our society has
always produced sociopaths who are quite often the products of
illegitimacy, broken homes, and a lack of any bonding with male or
societal authority. Some 70% of sociopaths come from fatherless homes.
Father absence produces many consequences similar to the symptoms of
sociopathy -- early, precocious sexuality; antagonistic, deprecating
attitude toward the opposite ---; lack of interest in bonding with a
durable, stable mate; aggressive acting-out; excessive boasting; and
risk-taking behavior. Some 30% of children today are born
out-of-wedlock, and another 30% live in divorced homes. These
conditions - a problem of unsocialization - produce sociopathy.
Furthermore, sociopaths tend to reproduce themselves, that is, they
produce more than own their share of illegitimate offspring
themselves.

So what is a sociopath? You won't find criteria in the DSM IV or
official psychiatric nomenclature, but the construct refers to the
largest subgroup of APDs. Most are males, but an increasing number are
female. They have otherwise normal temperaments (as opposed to
psychopaths who have abnormal temperaments). Some are aggressive,
fearless sensation seekers, and others are Machiavellian manipulators.
A Machiavellian is a personality type who is a cross between an
antisocial personality and a narcissist, and someone who also has an
extremely high sense of entitlement. The one thing that all
sociopaths have in common is that they are "too much" to handle for
their parents or anyone else. It's common to refer to them as
unsocialized, but the dyssocial sociopath does socialize to the mores
and values of a dyssocial outgroup, like a gang. Let's explore the
four (4) subtypes of sociopaths:

COMMON SOCIOPATHS are the largest subtype and have a weak or
unelaborated conscience. They are not ashamed by the same things as
you or I would be ashamed of. They are like feral children grown up,
taking pleasures and gratifying impulses at every opportunity or
temptation. They especially enjoy and take pride in bending or
breaking the rules. As teenagers, they are often runaways. As adults,
they are often geographically mobile, living in shelters, or taking
advantage of welfare systems. They are experienced shoplifters. They
have quite active --- lives. They are usually of average intelligence,
but don't do well in school and never seem to break out of low-paying
dead-end jobs. Nevertheless, they seem genuinely happy with their
lives, unburdened by any sense of negative self-worth or the fact that
they have not been a functional, contributing member of society.

ALIENATED SOCIOPATHS have never developed the ability to love,
empathize, or affiliate in real life with another person. They will
show more emotion toward their pet or a personal artifact than toward
a person. Or, they may hate animals and live out their emotional life
by watching TV (identification with soap opera characters is a common
pattern). Dating and marriage relationships will be very barren and
empty. They won't get along with the neighbors. They live in a shell.
They have a cold, callous attitude toward human suffering or any
social problem in the society they live in. They just don't care
because it's outside their range of empathy. Most will believe they
are justified in this because they feel they were cheated in some way
themselves by society, and a few will be more than happy to rant and
rave about it to anyone who listens. They are chronic complainers, and
underneath it all, they would like to see nothing better than all of
society destroyed.

AGGRESSIVE SOCIOPATHS derive strong, yet nonperverse gratification
from harming others. They like to hurt, frighten, tyrannize, bully,
and manipulate. They do it for a sense of power and control, and will
often only drop subtle hints about what they are up to. They polish
their aggressive, domineering manner in such a way to disguise any
intimidation others might feel. They seek out positions of power, such
as parent, teacher, bureaucrat, supervisor, or police officer. Their
style is one of passive aggression as they systematically go about
sabotaging the ideas of others to get their ideas in place. In their
spare time, they like to hunt or occasionally do sadistic things like
find stray dogs and cut them up. They are usually effective at getting
their way, and are especially vindictive if resisted or crossed. They
don't follow the social norm of reciprocity like others do.

DYSSOCIAL SOCIOPATHS identify and hold an allegiance with a
dyssocial, outcast, or predatory subculture. Any subculture will do,
as long as it runs counter to established authority. They are capable
of intense loyalty, and even a feeling of guilt and shame, within such
limited circles. They seem to continually fall upon bad luck and bad
companions, however. While they will constantly complain that none of
this is their fault, behind it all is a kind of self-defeating
mechanism in the poor choices they made themselves.


"DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE PSYCHOPATH"


Psychopaths cannot be understood in terms of antisocial rearing or
development. They are simply morally depraved individuals who
represent the "monsters" in our society. They are unstoppable and
untreatable predators whose violence is planned, purposeful and
emotionless. The violence continues until it reaches a plateau at age
50 or so, then tapers off. Their emotionlessness reflects a detached,
fearless, and possibly dissociated state, revealing a lower autonomic
nervous system and lack of anxiety. It's difficult to say what
motivates them - control and dominance possibly - since their life
history will usually show no bonds with others nor much rhyme to their
reason (other than the planning of violence). They tend to operate
with a grandiose demeanor, an attitude of entitlement, an insatiable
appetite, and a tendency toward sadism. Fearlessness is probably the
prototypical (core) characteristic (the low-fear hypothesis). It's
helpful to think of them as high-speed vehicles with ineffective
brakes. Certain organic (brain) disorders and hormonal imbalances
mimic the state of mind of a psychopath.

There are four (4) different subtypes of psychopaths. The oldest
distinction was made by Cleckley back in 1941 between primary and
secondary. However, we'll explore the other two subtypes first:

DISTEMPERED PSYCHOPATHS are the kind that seem to fly into a rage
or frenzy more easily and more often than other subtypes. Their frenzy
will resemble an epileptic fit. They are also usually men with
incredibly strong --- drives, capable of astonishing feats of sexual
energy, and seemingly obsessed by sexual urges during a large part of
their waking lives. Powerful cravings also seem to characterize them,
as in drug addiction, kleptomania, pedophilia, any illicit or illegal
indulgence. They like the endorphin "high" or "rush" off of excitement
and risk-taking. The serial-rapist-murderer known as the Boston
Strangler was such a psychopath.

CHARISMATIC PSYCHOPATHS are charming, attractive liars. They are
usually gifted at some talent or another, and they use it to their
advantage in manipulating others. They are usually fast-talkers, and
possess an almost demonic ability to persuade others out of everything
they own, even their lives. Leaders of religious sects or cults, for
example, might be psychopaths if they lead their followers to their
deaths. This subtype often comes to believe in their own fictions.
They are irresistible.

PRIMARY PSYCHOPATHS do not respond to punishment, apprehension,
stress, or disapproval. They seem to be able to inhibit their
antisocial impulses most of the time, not because of conscience, but
because it suits their purpose at the time. Words do not seem to have
the same meaning for them as they do for us. In fact, it's unclear if
they even grasp the meaning of their own words, a condition that
Cleckley called "semantic aphasia." They don't follow any life plan,
and it seems as if they are incapable of experiencing any genuine
emotion.

SECONDARY PSYCHOPATHS are risk-takers, but are also more likely to
be stress-reactive, worriers, and guilt-prone. They expose themselves
to more stress than the average person, but they are as vulnerable to
stress as the average person. They are daring, adventurous,
unconventional people who began playing by their own rules early in
life. They are strongly driven by a desire to escape or avoid pain,
but are unable to resist temptation. As their anxiety increases toward
some forbidden object, so does their attraction to it. They live their
lives by the lure of temptation.

Hare's PCL-R 20-item checklist is based on Cleckley's 16-item
checklist, and the following is a discussion of the concepts in the
PCL-R:

1. GLIB and SUPERFICIAL CHARM -- the tendency to be smooth, engaging,
charming, slick, and verbally facile. Psychopathic charm is not in the
least shy, self-conscious, or afraid to say anything. A psychopath
never gets tongue-tied. They have freed themselves from the social
conventions about taking turns in talking, for example.

2. GRANDIOSE SELF-WORTH -- a grossly inflated view of one's abilities
and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart.
Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human
beings.

3. NEED FOR STIMULATION or PRONENESS TO BOREDOM -- an excessive need
for novel, thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and
doing things that are risky. Psychopaths often have a low
self-discipline in carrying tasks through to completion because they
get bored easily. They fail to work at the same job for any length of
time, for example, or to finish tasks that they consider dull or
routine.

4. PATHOLOGICAL LYING -- can be moderate or high; in moderate form,
they will be shrewd, crafty, cunning, sly, and clever; in extreme
form, they will be deceptive, deceitful, underhanded, unscrupulous,
manipulative, and dishonest.

5. CONNING AND MANIPULATIVENESS- the use of deceit and deception to
cheat, con, or defraud others for personal gain; distinguished from
Item #4 in the degree to which exploitation and callous ruthlessness
is present, as reflected in a lack of concern for the feelings and
suffering of one's victims.

6. LACK OF REMORSE OR GUILT -- a lack of feelings or concern for the
losses, pain, and suffering of victims; a tendency to be unconcerned,
dispassionate, coldhearted, and unempathic. This item is usually
demonstrated by a disdain for one's victims.

7. SHALLOW AFFECT -- emotional poverty or a limited range or depth of
feelings; interpersonal coldness in spite of signs of open
gregariousness.

8. CALLOUSNESS and LACK OF EMPATHY -- a lack of feelings toward people
in general; cold, contemptuous, inconsiderate, and tactless.

9. PARASITIC LIFESTYLE -- an intentional, manipulative, selfish, and
exploitative financial dependence on others as reflected in a lack of
motivation, low self-discipline, and inability to begin or complete
responsibilities.

10. POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS -- expressions of irritability,
annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse;
inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily.

11. PROMISCUOUS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR -- a variety of brief, superficial
relations, numerous affairs, and an indiscriminate selection of sexual
partners; the maintenance of several relationships at the same time; a
history of attempts to sexually coerce others into sexual activity or
taking great pride at discussing sexual exploits or conquests.

12. EARLY BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS -- a variety of behaviors prior to age 13,
including lying, theft, cheating, vandalism, bullying, sexual
activity, fire-setting, glue-sniffing, alcohol use, and running away
from home.

13. LACK OF REALISTIC, LONG-TERM GOALS -- an inability or persistent
failure to develop and execute long-term plans and goals; a nomadic
existence, aimless, lacking direction in life.

14. IMPULSIVITY -- the occurrence of behaviors that are unpremeditated
and lack reflection or planning; inability to resist temptation,
frustrations, and urges; a lack of deliberation without considering
the consequences; foolhardy, rash, unpredictable, erratic, and
reckless.

15. IRRESPONSIBILITY -- repeated failure to fulfill or honor
obligations and commitments; such as not paying bills, defaulting on
loans, performing sloppy work, being absent or late to work, failing
to honor contractual agreements.

16. FAILURE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR OWN ACTIONS -- a failure to
accept responsibility for one's actions reflected in low
conscientiousness, an absence of dutifulness, antagonistic
manipulation, denial of responsibility, and an effort to manipulate
others through this denial.

17. MANY SHORT-TERM MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS -- a lack of commitment to a
long-term relationship reflected in inconsistent, undependable, and
unreliable commitments in life, including marital.

18. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY -- behavior problems between the ages of
13-18; mostly behaviors that are crimes or clearly involve aspects of
antagonism, exploitation, aggression, manipulation, or a callous,
ruthless tough-mindedness.

19. REVOCATION OF CONDITION RELEASE -- a revocation of probation or
other conditional release due to technical violations, such as
carelessness, low deliberation, or failing to appear.

20. CRIMINAL VERSATILITY -- a diversity of types of criminal offenses,
regardless if the person has been arrested or convicted for them;
taking great pride at getting away with crimes.

ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY, SOCIOPATHY, AND PSYCHOPATHY


Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD) is practically synonymous with
criminal behavior, but as with all distributions of a disease or
whatever in a population, it is probable that the majority of people
with this particular affliction are law-abiding. Aging,
overinvolvements, and/or relationships might hold sway over the
control (or lack of control) in these kind of people, and although
approaching the study of offenders from a relationship & personality
disorders point of view may or may not be productive, Dr. Drew is
probably an adequate source of information on such matters. Dr.
Drew's theory (and one with wide ramifications since he pretty much
defines an antisocial tendency as thinking about one's self first) is
that women with certain kinds of disorders, like borderline
personality disorders, tend to be attracted to and hook up with men
who manifest symptoms of psychopathic personality disorder (see
Lecture on BPD & OCD) and that such match-ups may or may not be
dysfunctional. On the other hand, the field of criminology tends to
treat APD as so synonymous, in fact, with criminal behavior that
practically all convicted criminals (65-75%) have it, with
criminologists often referring to it as a "wastebasket" category.
Antisocials come is all shapes and sizes, and psychologists consider
the juvenile version of it to be a juvenile conduct disorder. The main
characteristic of it is a complete and utter disregard for the rights
of others and the rules of society. They seldom show anxiety and don't
feel guilt. Although many people would hope that there's an effective
treatment, there's really no effective treatment for them other than
locking them up in a secure facility with such rigid rules that they
cannot talk their way out. A full list of APD traits would include:



"List of Antisocial Personality Disorder Traits"

Sense of entitlement; Unremorseful; Apathetic to others;
Unconscionable behavior; Blameful of others; Manipulative and conning;
Affectively cold; Disparate understanding; Socially irresponsible;
Disregardful of obligations; Nonconforming to norms; Irresponsible.

whereas the DSM-IV "clinical" features of Antisocial Personality
Disorder (with a person having at least three of these
characteristics) are:


"Clinical Symptoms for an Antisocial Personality Disorder
Diagnosis"

1. Failure to conform to social norms;
2. Deceitfulness, manipulativeness;
3. Impulsivity, failure to plan ahead;
4. Irritability, aggressiveness;
5. Reckless disregard for the safety of self or others;
6. Consistent irresponsibility;
7. Lack of remorse after having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from
another person.



Sociopathy is chiefly characterized by something wrong with the
person's conscience. They either don't have one, it's full of holes
like Swiss cheese, or they are somehow able to completely neutralize
or negate any sense of conscience or future time perspective.
Sociopaths only care about fulfilling their own needs and desires -
selfishness and egocentricity to the extreme. Everything and everybody
else is mentally twisted around in their minds as objects to be used
in fulfilling their own needs and desires. They often believe they are
doing something good for society, or at least nothing that bad. The
term "sociopath" is frequently used by psychologists and sociologists
alike in referring to persons whose unsocialized character is due
primarily to parental failures (usually fatherlessness) rather than an
inherent feature of temperament. Lykken (1995), for example, clearly
distinguishes between the sociopath (who is socialized into becoming a
psychopath) and a "true" psychopath (who is born that way). However,
this may only describe the "common sociopath", as there are at least
four (4) different subtypes -- common, alienated, aggressive, and
dyssocial. Commons are characterized mostly by their lack of
conscience; the alienated by their inability to love or be loved;
aggressives by a consistent sadistic streak; and dyssocials by an
ability to abide by gang rules, as long as those rules are the wrong
rules. As Stout (2005) indicates, it only takes three of the following
to be defined as a sociopath, and some common sociopathic traits
include:

"List of Common Sociopathic Traits"

Egocentricity; Callousness; Impulsivity; Conscience defect;
Exaggerated sexuality; Excessive boasting; Risk taking; Inability to
resist temptation; Antagonistic, deprecating attitude toward the
opposite ---; Lack of interest in bonding with a mate.


Psychopathy is a concept subject to much debate, but is usually
defined as a constellation of affective, interpersonal, and behavioral
characteristics including egocentricity; impulsivity;
irresponsibility; shallow emotions; lack of empathy, guilt, or
remorse; pathological lying; manipulativeness; and the persistent
violation of social norms and expectations (Cleckley 1976; Hare 1993).
The crimes of psychopaths are usually stone-cold, remorseless killings
for no apparent reason. They cold-bloodedly take what they want and do
as they please without the slightest sense of guilt or regret. In many
ways, they are natural-born intraspecies predators who satisfy their
lust for power and control by charm, manipulation, intimidation, and
violence. While almost all societies would regard them as criminals
(the exception being frontier or warlike societies where they might
become heroes, patriots, or leaders), it's important to distinguish
their behavior from criminal behavior. As a common axiom goes in
psychology, MOST PSYCHOPATHS ARE ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITIES BUT NOT ALL
ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITIES ARE PSYCHOPATHS. This is because APD is
defined mainly by behaviors (Factor 2 antisocial behaviors) and
doesn't tap the affective/interpersonal dimensions (Factor 1 core
psychopathic features, narcissism) of psychopathy. Further, criminals
and APDs tend to "age out" of crime; psychopaths do not, and are at
high risk of recidivism. Psychopaths love to intellectualize in
treatment with their half-baked understanding of rules. Like the Star
Trek character, Spock, their reasoning cannot handle any mix of
cognition and emotion. They are calculating predators who, when
trapped, will attempt escape, create a nuisance and danger to staff,
be a disruptive influence on other patients or inmates, and fake
symptoms to get transferred, bouncing back and forth between
institutions. The common features of psychopathic traits (the PCL-R
items) are:


"List of Common Psychopathic Traits"

Glib and superficial charm; Grandiose sense of self-worth; Need for
stimulation; Pathological lying; Conning and manipulativeness; Lack of
remorse or guilt; Shallow affect; Callousness and lack of empathy;
Parasitic lifestyle; Poor behavioral controls; Promiscuous sexual
behavior; Early behavior problems; Lack of realistic, long-term goals;
Impulsivity; Irresponsibility; Failure to accept responsibility for
own actions; Many short-term marital relationships; Juvenile
delinquency; Revocation of conditional release; Criminal versatility.


"DETAILED ANALYSIS OF ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER"


The diagnosis of APD has long been controversial. The criteria for
it seem to change with each and every new edition of the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-I 1968; DSM-II 1976;
DSM-III 1980; DSM-III-R 1987; DSM-IV 1994). The diagnosis was
substantially changed with DSM-III when the APA decided to distinguish
between child and adult characteristics, and essentially substituted
behavioral criteria (like truancy or law violations) for personality
criteria (like callousness and selfishness). In the DSM-III-R (R for
Revised), the focus was on violence and a list of violent acts
(fighting, cruelty to others, cruelty to animals). The current DSM-IV
approach essentially says that anything which is not sociopathy,
psychopathy or dyssocial personality disorder is antisocial
personality disorder, but there is considerable overlap. The
diagnostic possibilities are endless; there are at least 3 million
possible variations of symptoms on at least 62 different measurable
items.

Ongoing research is quite prolific into the factor or principal
components analysis of APD characteristics. Most forensic experts
believe there are 3-4 factors (groupings of symptoms). One factor
involves symptoms that cluster around what might be called a Lack of
Planning (promiscuous, irresponsible, impulsive traits and behavior).
Another factor clusters around the notion of Disregard for Others. A
third factor is clearly related to Adult Criminality. A fourth factor
is clearly related to Juvenile Delinquency. Impulsivity appears to be
a prototypical (core) feature, but it can take many forms. Definitions
of impulsivity are numerous -- a tendency to act without reflection;
dysfunctional information processing; a tendency for risk taking;
sensation seeking; and an inability to sustain attention. Rating
scales are easily available to measure these.

The incidence of APD is twice as high for inner-city residents
than in small towns or rural areas, and five times higher in males
than in females. It affects people in all social classes, but if
someone with APD is born into a family of wealth and privilege, they
will usually manage to eek out a successful business or political
career. Poorer people with APD tend to wind up in state prison
systems. Since African-Americans are seven times more likely to be
represented in state prison systems, it's tempting to speculate the
incidence of APD among African-Americans is high. However, there are
most likely other causes of crime among African-Americans (like
unemployment and racism). The fact is that most of the current prison
population, white or black, shares the APD diagnosis. All it takes is
a juvenile record, an adult offense career, aggressivity, impulsivity,
a checkered work history, and/or lack of demonstrable repentance.
These can be easily found in almost any prison inmate's dossier.

One of the things closely related to APD is the comorbidity of
alcoholism and narcotic addiction. Some of the criteria for a
substance abuse disorder are very similar: theft, hazardous behavior,
failure to fulfill role functions in home, school, and work. A strong
correlation exists between substance abuse and factor 2 (antisocial
behaviors) of the psychopathy construct. APDs with a drug addiction
have some serious substance abuse problems -- the kind that lead to
death by overdose or accident within five years. Are APD and narcotic
addiction part of the same disorder, does one lead to the other, or
are they are spuriously linked together? From what little research
there is, it appears that most of the time, APD precedes narcotic
addiction, although some of the time, addiction leads to APD
behaviors. People with such comorbid characteristics also usually have
undiagnosed other Axis I and Axis II disorders.


"DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE SOCIOPATH"


From the wild Irish slums of the 19th Century Eastern seaboard to
the riot-torn anomic neighborhoods of Los Angeles, our society has
always produced sociopaths who are quite often the products of
illegitimacy, broken homes, and a lack of any bonding with male or
societal authority. Some 70% of sociopaths come from fatherless homes.
Father absence produces many consequences similar to the symptoms of
sociopathy -- early, precocious sexuality; antagonistic, deprecating
attitude toward the opposite ---; lack of interest in bonding with a
durable, stable mate; aggressive acting-out; excessive boasting; and
risk-taking behavior. Some 30% of children today are born
out-of-wedlock, and another 30% live in divorced homes. These
conditions - a problem of unsocialization - produce sociopathy.
Furthermore, sociopaths tend to reproduce themselves, that is, they
produce more than own their share of illegitimate offspring
themselves.

So what is a sociopath? You won't find criteria in the DSM IV or
official psychiatric nomenclature, but the construct refers to the
largest subgroup of APDs. Most are males, but an increasing number are
female. They have otherwise normal temperaments (as opposed to
psychopaths who have abnormal temperaments). Some are aggressive,
fearless sensation seekers, and others are Machiavellian manipulators.
A Machiavellian is a personality type who is a cross between an
antisocial personality and a narcissist, and someone who also has an
extremely high sense of entitlement. The one thing that all
sociopaths have in common is that they are "too much" to handle for
their parents or anyone else. It's common to refer to them as
unsocialized, but the dyssocial sociopath does socialize to the mores
and values of a dyssocial outgroup, like a gang. Let's explore the
four (4) subtypes of sociopaths:

COMMON SOCIOPATHS are the largest subtype and have a weak or
unelaborated conscience. They are not ashamed by the same things as
you or I would be ashamed of. They are like feral children grown up,
taking pleasures and gratifying impulses at every opportunity or
temptation. They especially enjoy and take pride in bending or
breaking the rules. As teenagers, they are often runaways. As adults,
they are often geographically mobile, living in shelters, or taking
advantage of welfare systems. They are experienced shoplifters. They
have quite active --- lives. They are usually of average intelligence,
but don't do well in school and never seem to break out of low-paying
dead-end jobs. Nevertheless, they seem genuinely happy with their
lives, unburdened by any sense of negative self-worth or the fact that
they have not been a functional, contributing member of society.

ALIENATED SOCIOPATHS have never developed the ability to love,
empathize, or affiliate in real life with another person. They will
show more emotion toward their pet or a personal artifact than toward
a person. Or, they may hate animals and live out their emotional life
by watching TV (identification with soap opera characters is a common
pattern). Dating and marriage relationships will be very barren and
empty. They won't get along with the neighbors. They live in a shell.
They have a cold, callous attitude toward human suffering or any
social problem in the society they live in. They just don't care
because it's outside their range of empathy. Most will believe they
are justified in this because they feel they were cheated in some way
themselves by society, and a few will be more than happy to rant and
rave about it to anyone who listens. They are chronic complainers, and
underneath it all, they would like to see nothing better than all of
society destroyed.

AGGRESSIVE SOCIOPATHS derive strong, yet nonperverse gratification
from harming others. They like to hurt, frighten, tyrannize, bully,
and manipulate. They do it for a sense of power and control, and will
often only drop subtle hints about what they are up to. They polish
their aggressive, domineering manner in such a way to disguise any
intimidation others might feel. They seek out positions of power, such
as parent, teacher, bureaucrat, supervisor, or police officer. Their
style is one of passive aggression as they systematically go about
sabotaging the ideas of others to get their ideas in place. In their
spare time, they like to hunt or occasionally do sadistic things like
find stray dogs and cut them up. They are usually effective at getting
their way, and are especially vindictive if resisted or crossed. They
don't follow the social norm of reciprocity like others do.

DYSSOCIAL SOCIOPATHS identify and hold an allegiance with a
dyssocial, outcast, or predatory subculture. Any subculture will do,
as long as it runs counter to established authority. They are capable
of intense loyalty, and even a feeling of guilt and shame, within such
limited circles. They seem to continually fall upon bad luck and bad
companions, however. While they will constantly complain that none of
this is their fault, behind it all is a kind of self-defeating
mechanism in the poor choices they made themselves.


"DETAILED ANALYSIS OF THE PSYCHOPATH"


Psychopaths cannot be understood in terms of antisocial rearing or
development. They are simply morally depraved individuals who
represent the "monsters" in our society. They are unstoppable and
untreatable predators whose violence is planned, purposeful and
emotionless. The violence continues until it reaches a plateau at age
50 or so, then tapers off. Their emotionlessness reflects a detached,
fearless, and possibly dissociated state, revealing a lower autonomic
nervous system and lack of anxiety. It's difficult to say what
motivates them - control and dominance possibly - since their life
history will usually show no bonds with others nor much rhyme to their
reason (other than the planning of violence). They tend to operate
with a grandiose demeanor, an attitude of entitlement, an insatiable
appetite, and a tendency toward sadism. Fearlessness is probably the
prototypical (core) characteristic (the low-fear hypothesis). It's
helpful to think of them as high-speed vehicles with ineffective
brakes. Certain organic (brain) disorders and hormonal imbalances
mimic the state of mind of a psychopath.

There are four (4) different subtypes of psychopaths. The oldest
distinction was made by Cleckley back in 1941 between primary and
secondary. However, we'll explore the other two subtypes first:

DISTEMPERED PSYCHOPATHS are the kind that seem to fly into a rage
or frenzy more easily and more often than other subtypes. Their frenzy
will resemble an epileptic fit. They are also usually men with
incredibly strong --- drives, capable of astonishing feats of sexual
energy, and seemingly obsessed by sexual urges during a large part of
their waking lives. Powerful cravings also seem to characterize them,
as in drug addiction, kleptomania, pedophilia, any illicit or illegal
indulgence. They like the endorphin "high" or "rush" off of excitement
and risk-taking. The serial-rapist-murderer known as the Boston
Strangler was such a psychopath.

CHARISMATIC PSYCHOPATHS are charming, attractive liars. They are
usually gifted at some talent or another, and they use it to their
advantage in manipulating others. They are usually fast-talkers, and
possess an almost demonic ability to persuade others out of everything
they own, even their lives. Leaders of religious sects or cults, for
example, might be psychopaths if they lead their followers to their
deaths. This subtype often comes to believe in their own fictions.
They are irresistible.

PRIMARY PSYCHOPATHS do not respond to punishment, apprehension,
stress, or disapproval. They seem to be able to inhibit their
antisocial impulses most of the time, not because of conscience, but
because it suits their purpose at the time. Words do not seem to have
the same meaning for them as they do for us. In fact, it's unclear if
they even grasp the meaning of their own words, a condition that
Cleckley called "semantic aphasia." They don't follow any life plan,
and it seems as if they are incapable of experiencing any genuine
emotion.

SECONDARY PSYCHOPATHS are risk-takers, but are also more likely to
be stress-reactive, worriers, and guilt-prone. They expose themselves
to more stress than the average person, but they are as vulnerable to
stress as the average person. They are daring, adventurous,
unconventional people who began playing by their own rules early in
life. They are strongly driven by a desire to escape or avoid pain,
but are unable to resist temptation. As their anxiety increases toward
some forbidden object, so does their attraction to it. They live their
lives by the lure of temptation.

Hare's PCL-R 20-item checklist is based on Cleckley's 16-item
checklist, and the following is a discussion of the concepts in the
PCL-R:

1. GLIB and SUPERFICIAL CHARM -- the tendency to be smooth, engaging,
charming, slick, and verbally facile. Psychopathic charm is not in the
least shy, self-conscious, or afraid to say anything. A psychopath
never gets tongue-tied. They have freed themselves from the social
conventions about taking turns in talking, for example.

2. GRANDIOSE SELF-WORTH -- a grossly inflated view of one's abilities
and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart.
Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human
beings.

3. NEED FOR STIMULATION or PRONENESS TO BOREDOM -- an excessive need
for novel, thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and
doing things that are risky. Psychopaths often have a low
self-discipline in carrying tasks through to completion because they
get bored easily. They fail to work at the same job for any length of
time, for example, or to finish tasks that they consider dull or
routine.

4. PATHOLOGICAL LYING -- can be moderate or high; in moderate form,
they will be shrewd, crafty, cunning, sly, and clever; in extreme
form, they will be deceptive, deceitful, underhanded, unscrupulous,
manipulative, and dishonest.

5. CONNING AND MANIPULATIVENESS- the use of deceit and deception to
cheat, con, or defraud others for personal gain; distinguished from
Item #4 in the degree to which exploitation and callous ruthlessness
is present, as reflected in a lack of concern for the feelings and
suffering of one's victims.

6. LACK OF REMORSE OR GUILT -- a lack of feelings or concern for the
losses, pain, and suffering of victims; a tendency to be unconcerned,
dispassionate, coldhearted, and unempathic. This item is usually
demonstrated by a disdain for one's victims.

7. SHALLOW AFFECT -- emotional poverty or a limited range or depth of
feelings; interpersonal coldness in spite of signs of open
gregariousness.

8. CALLOUSNESS and LACK OF EMPATHY -- a lack of feelings toward people
in general; cold, contemptuous, inconsiderate, and tactless.

9. PARASITIC LIFESTYLE -- an intentional, manipulative, selfish, and
exploitative financial dependence on others as reflected in a lack of
motivation, low self-discipline, and inability to begin or complete
responsibilities.

10. POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS -- expressions of irritability,
annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse;
inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily.

11. PROMISCUOUS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR -- a variety of brief, superficial
relations, numerous affairs, and an indiscriminate selection of sexual
partners; the maintenance of several relationships at the same time; a
history of attempts to sexually coerce others into sexual activity or
taking great pride at discussing sexual exploits or conquests.

12. EARLY BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS -- a variety of behaviors prior to age 13,
including lying, theft, cheating, vandalism, bullying, sexual
activity, fire-setting, glue-sniffing, alcohol use, and running away
from home.

13. LACK OF REALISTIC, LONG-TERM GOALS -- an inability or persistent
failure to develop and execute long-term plans and goals; a nomadic
existence, aimless, lacking direction in life.

14. IMPULSIVITY -- the occurrence of behaviors that are unpremeditated
and lack reflection or planning; inability to resist temptation,
frustrations, and urges; a lack of deliberation without considering
the consequences; foolhardy, rash, unpredictable, erratic, and
reckless.

15. IRRESPONSIBILITY -- repeated failure to fulfill or honor
obligations and commitments; such as not paying bills, defaulting on
loans, performing sloppy work, being absent or late to work, failing
to honor contractual agreements.

16. FAILURE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR OWN ACTIONS -- a failure to
accept responsibility for one's actions reflected in low
conscientiousness, an absence of dutifulness, antagonistic
manipulation, denial of responsibility, and an effort to manipulate
others through this denial.

17. MANY SHORT-TERM MARITAL RELATIONSHIPS -- a lack of commitment to a
long-term relationship reflected in inconsistent, undependable, and
unreliable commitments in life, including marital.

18. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY -- behavior problems between the ages of
13-18; mostly behaviors that are crimes or clearly involve aspects of
antagonism, exploitation, aggression, manipulation, or a callous,
ruthless tough-mindedness.

19. REVOCATION OF CONDITION RELEASE -- a revocation of probation or
other conditional release due to technical violations, such as
carelessness, low deliberation, or failing to appear.

20. CRIMINAL VERSATILITY -- a diversity of types of criminal offenses,
regardless if the person has been arrested or convicted for them;
taking great pride at getting away with crimes.

There you go again, the little Psychopath, jealous, REALLY JEALOUS,
over the fact that I once own a '37 Lasalle, ranting over my documents,
possessions, successes, manliness, Super Southern California surfer body,
Christian family, and name. What a jealous little draft dodging senile
coward from 12.205.158.32 AT&T WorldNet Services ATT, Mediacom
Communications Corp MEDIACOMCC-12-205-156-0-GULF-BREEZE-Florida, that of
course, doesn't have a DD214, it had to have served our country for that.
Who's only way to get attention is to make a fool of its self, with its goat
obsession/fetish, where it writes via remailers, to no one's surprise. Like
when the other kids laughed at its attempt to use foul language in
elementary school play grounds, but its just gibberish. Too senile to
remember what he last wrote, like the rest of Florida. You remind me of a
little rat dog, like a Mexican Chiwawa with its senseless barking it's rabid
head off, me too, me too. And is too afraid to use your name, address, or
even sign your statement as any man would, totally worthless!

fraud@mchsi.com, fraud@4AX.COM, abuse@aioe.org, admin@***.net,

I thought your attacks were just personal disagreements, but with
passing of my country's Independents Day, I realize these attacks are
stemming from my love of God and America, and that's what you've been doing
all along is declaring your hatred for the United States of America, with
each declaration of my signature, but just too cowardly to be a ---------.
It's America, love it, or leave it, so get the f*ck out!
Considering the source, which you're a habitual lair, so these plus your
other accusations would be thrown out of court.
When are you going to take responsibility for yourself, and become a
man??????????
People that follow astrology, know the traits you have listed are a
hundred eighty out from any Capricorn.
Forwarded to: alt.binaries.pictures.autos, alt.binaries.automobile.pictures
groups so they may to see what an a**hole you really are!!!!!
Is this what your Psychologist wrote about you? They don't fit any
Capricorn, sounds like a spoil Leo.
You're a LIAR and never been in the Service much less Vietnam, as you
suggest!!!!!
If you think I'm a Psycho, then report me to my friends at the San Diego
Sheriffs Department.
I'm just really curious as to who you think will believe you over any
man responsible enough to list his name and address here and in every place
I know of????? All you can do is lie, as most everything you have said
contradicts it's self.
You know what they say, once a ------ coward, always a ------ coward.
I won't give up until traitors like you are gone from these groups I
participate and see you've pretty well killed this group I will devote my
life to reminding your groups who you are!!!!!!!

You're not fooling anyone, ------! You need to get back in the hospital

Oh, and thanks for keeping my fight against troll/******* like you at
the top of your groups! :-)
The only reason you write me is to try to put down my friends and my
Lord Jesus Christ. Well try as you may you're not strong enough for that,
coward.
BTW I put up a couple more of my friends cars for you to be jealous of.
:-)
I happen to know you've been locked in a rubber room, laced in a
straight jacket. Time for lights out at your insane asylum again.
Fortunately it is against the law for you to own a firearm.
There you go with that psychopathic goat obsession/fetish, that only
******* like would think of.
That's what I've said, it's common knowledge you're a schizophrenic

>
> PRIMARY PSYCHOPATHS do not respond to punishment, apprehension,

There you go again, the little Psychopath, jealous, REALLY JEALOUS,
over the fact that I once own a '37 Lasalle, ranting over my documents,
possessions, successes, manliness, Super Southern California surfer body,
Christian family, and name. What a jealous little draft dodging senile
coward from 12.205.158.32 AT&T WorldNet Services ATT, Mediacom
Communications Corp MEDIACOMCC-12-205-156-0-GULF-BREEZE-Florida, that of
course, doesn't have a DD214, it had to have served our country for that.
Who's only way to get attention is to make a fool of its self, with its goat
obsession/fetish, where it writes via remailers, to no one's surprise. Like
when the other kids laughed at its attempt to use foul language in
elementary school play grounds, but its just gibberish. Too senile to
remember what he last wrote, like the rest of Florida. You remind me of a
little rat dog, like a Mexican Chiwawa with its senseless barking it's rabid
head off, me too, me too. And is too afraid to use your name, address, or
even sign your statement as any man would, totally worthless!

But now worth the time to forward this low life to: abuse@mchsi.com,
fraud@mchsi.com, fraud@4AX.COM, abuse@aioe.org, admin@***.net,
abuse@teranews.com for forgery.
I thought your attacks were just personal disagreements, but with
passing of my country's Independents Day, I realize these attacks are
stemming from my love of God and America, and that's what you've been doing
all along is declaring your hatred for the United States of America, with
each declaration of my signature, but just too cowardly to be a ---------.
It's America, love it, or leave it, so get the f*ck out!
Considering the source, which you're a habitual lair, so these plus your
other accusations would be thrown out of court.
When are you going to take responsibility for yourself, and become a
man??????????
People that follow astrology, know the traits you have listed are a
hundred eighty out from any Capricorn.
Forwarded to: alt.binaries.pictures.autos, alt.binaries.automobile.pictures
groups so they may to see what an a**hole you really are!!!!!
Is this what your Psychologist wrote about you? They don't fit any
Capricorn, sounds like a spoil Leo.
You're a LIAR and never been in the Service much less Vietnam, as you
suggest!!!!!
If you think I'm a Psycho, then report me to my friends at the San Diego
Sheriffs Department.
I'm just really curious as to who you think will believe you over any
man responsible enough to list his name and address here and in every place
I know of????? All you can do is lie, as most everything you have said
contradicts it's self.
You know what they say, once a ------ coward, always a ------ coward.
I won't give up until traitors like you are gone from these groups I
participate and see you've pretty well killed this group I will devote my
life to reminding your groups who you are!!!!!!!
I would appreciate the name and address of these trolls, Square Wheel:

You're not fooling anyone, ------! You need to get back in the hospital

Oh, and thanks for keeping my fight against troll/******* like you at
the top of your groups! :-)
The only reason you write me is to try to put down my friends and my
Lord Jesus Christ. Well try as you may you're not strong enough for that,
coward.
BTW I put up a couple more of my friends cars for you to be jealous of.
:-)
I happen to know you've been locked in a rubber room, laced in a
straight jacket. Time for lights out at your insane asylum again.
Fortunately it is against the law for you to own a firearm.
There you go with that psychopathic goat obsession/fetish, that only
******* like would think of.
That's what I've said, it's common knowledge you're a schizophrenic

> Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human
> beings.
>
> 3. NEED FOR STIMULATION or PRONENESS TO BOREDOM -- an excessive need
> for novel, thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and
> doing things that are risky. Psychopaths often have a low

>
> 4. PATHOLOGICAL LYING -- can be moderate or high; in moderate form,

There you go again, the little Psychopath, jealous, REALLY JEALOUS,
over the fact that I once own a '37 Lasalle, ranting over my documents,
possessions, successes, manliness, Super Southern California surfer body,
Christian family, and name. What a jealous little draft dodging senile
coward from 12.205.158.32 AT&T WorldNet Services ATT, Mediacom
Communications Corp MEDIACOMCC-12-205-156-0-GULF-BREEZE-Florida, that of
course, doesn't have a DD214, it had to have served our country for that.
Who's only way to get attention is to make a fool of its self, with its goat
obsession/fetish, where it writes via remailers, to no one's surprise. Like
when the other kids laughed at its attempt to use foul language in
elementary school play grounds, but its just gibberish. Too senile to
remember what he last wrote, like the rest of Florida. You remind me of a
little rat dog, like a Mexican Chiwawa with its senseless barking it's rabid
head off, me too, me too. And is too afraid to use your name, address, or
even sign your statement as any man would, totally worthless!

But now worth the time to forward this low life to: abuse@mchsi.com,
fraud@mchsi.com, fraud@4AX.COM, abuse@aioe.org, admin@***.net,
abuse@teranews.com for forgery.
I thought your attacks were just personal disagreements, but with
passing of my country's Independents Day, I realize these attacks are
stemming from my love of God and America, and that's what you've been doing
all along is declaring your hatred for the United States of America, with
each declaration of my signature, but just too cowardly to be a ---------.
It's America, love it, or leave it, so get the f*ck out!
Considering the source, which you're a habitual lair, so these plus your
other accusations would be thrown out of court.
When are you going to take responsibility for yourself, and become a
man??????????
People that follow astrology, know the traits you have listed are a
hundred eighty out from any Capricorn.
Forwarded to: alt.binaries.pictures.autos, alt.binaries.automobile.pictures
groups so they may to see what an a**hole you really are!!!!!
Is this what your Psychologist wrote about you? They don't fit any
Capricorn, sounds like a spoil Leo.
You're a LIAR and never been in the Service much less Vietnam, as you
suggest!!!!!
If you think I'm a Psycho, then report me to my friends at the San Diego
Sheriffs Department.
I'm just really curious as to who you think will believe you over any
man responsible enough to list his name and address here and in every place
I know of????? All you can do is lie, as most everything you have said
contradicts it's self.
You know what they say, once a ------ coward, always a ------ coward.
I won't give up until traitors like you are gone from these groups I
participate and see you've pretty well killed this group I will devote my
life to reminding your groups who you are!!!!!!!
I would appreciate the name and address of these trolls, Square Wheel:

You're not fooling anyone, ------! You need to get back in the hospital

Oh, and thanks for keeping my fight against troll/******* like you at
the top of your groups! :-)
The only reason you write me is to try to put down my friends and my
Lord Jesus Christ. Well try as you may you're not strong enough for that,
coward.
BTW I put up a couple more of my friends cars for you to be jealous of.
:-)
I happen to know you've been locked in a rubber room, laced in a
straight jacket. Time for lights out at your insane asylum again.
Fortunately it is against the law for you to own a firearm.
There you go with that psychopathic goat obsession/fetish, that only
******* like would think of.
That's what I've said, it's common knowledge you're a schizophrenic

>
> 1. GLIB and SUPERFICIAL CHARM -- the tendency to be smooth, engaging,

>
> 2. GRANDIOSE SELF-WORTH -- a grossly inflated view of one's abilities
> and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart.
> Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human
> beings.
>
> 3. NEED FOR STIMULATION or PRONENESS TO BOREDOM -- an excessive need
> for novel, thrilling, and exciting stimulation; taking chances and
> doing things that are risky. Psychopaths often have a low
> self-discipline in carrying tasks through to completion because they
> get bored easily. They fail to work at the same job for any length of
> time, for example, or to finish tasks that they consider dull or
> routine.
>
> 4. PATHOLOGICAL LYING -- can be moderate or high; in moderate form,
> they will be shrewd, crafty, cunning, sly, and clever; in extreme
> form, they will be deceptive, deceitful, underhanded, unscrupulous,
> manipulative, and dishonest.
>
> 5. CONNING AND MANIPULATIVENESS- the use of deceit and deception to
> cheat, con, or defraud others for personal gain; distinguished from
> Item #4 in the degree to which exploitation and callous ruthlessness
> is present, as reflected in a lack of concern for the feelings and
> suffering of one's victims.
>
> 6. LACK OF REMORSE OR GUILT -- a lack of feelings or concern for the
> losses, pain, and suffering of victims; a tendency to be unconcerned,
> dispassionate, coldhearted, and unempathic. This item is usually
> demonstrated by a disdain for one's victims.
>
> 7. SHALLOW AFFECT -- emotional poverty or a limited range or depth of
> feelings; interpersonal coldness in spite of signs of open
> gregariousness.
>
> 8. CALLOUSNESS and LACK OF EMPATHY -- a lack of feelings toward people
> in general; cold, contemptuous, inconsiderate, and tactless.
>
> 9. PARASITIC LIFESTYLE -- an intentional, manipulative, selfish, and
> exploitative financial dependence on others as reflected in a lack of
> motivation, low self-discipline, and inability to begin or complete
> responsibilities.
>
> 10. POOR BEHAVIORAL CONTROLS -- expressions of irritability,
> annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse;
> inadequate control of anger and temper; acting hastily.
>
> 11. PROMISCUOUS SEXUAL BEHAVIOR -- a variety of brief, superficial
