I am a sociopath

I'll raise your bear one Tasmanian Devil.

ah no fair I can't post pictures (at all unless I'm creating a discussion) Okay well I will raise your Tasmanian Devil by one googly eyed cat ^O.o^

That annoys any normal person though. You almost want to say 'look here, didn't you notice that the rest of us are all doing something? What about YOU??'

Hmmm that might cover a small minority but it seems unfair to punish all the people who are in hard times just so the few do not get help. Our system is desinged to help everyone and even with our some fail to get help. We even have counselling to help those people who are unable to manage their money well and that can be a problem handed down through generations. If you have never been taught how to manage money it can be hard to learn especially if you are lurching from one disaster to another. Our world insists that people save for their retirement but if you never have any excess money you are unable to save. Australia is trying to deal with this by having compulsory superanuation for all employees. Even that is often not enough by retirement and there are many people who have little or no super. So we have an age pension to cover the basics. Much better than in my grandmothers day when she had to go to the council every fortnight to ask for her legal allowance and had to put up with his contempt that she was poor. At least our system gives the poor some dignity.

Ok... this is what I mean by 'bringing misfortune upon yourself'. This does not apply to someone who may have been born disabled or born and orphaned immediately, born into a situation where the family cannot support themselves so they are homeless and starving. I'm talking about someone who is doing just fine, but then they make bad decisions, leading to the loss of a job or home, maybe the end of a relationship, etc. People who continue to make bad decisions and just expect friends and family and the government to 'fix everything' and to 'help them out' is being a victim and acting delusional. If you took all your money and spent it on an iPhone and fake nails and fast food and lotto tickets INSTEAD of paying your utilities and getting groceries for the week.. and paying your cable bill and putting gas in your car, you have NO right EVER to CRY to me that you have no food, your tv is shut off, and you can't get around because you have no gas in your car. THIS is what I mean ultimately by people who bring misfortune upon themselves. I know way too many people in this situation and trust me, they think I should help them too. I think I shouldn't. I would just be enabling a bad situation to keep on going, they'd learn nothing, and I'd really not even be helping. It sucks.

The whips don't count? Well, no, on second thoughts they probably don't. I have to say that, I have more than you do lol. Probably. Well, maybe. Lash

I would expect that most sociopaths are quite aware, thgey just don't care. But I also wonder if a moral upbringing doesn't set some rules in even a sociopath's make-up, and I wonder if there aren't a number of them who actually try to control their sociopathy and even manage to mostly succeed. That would certainly fit with my make-up, if that test has any validity. Lash

Some of them are psychopaths - since the dividing line there is that psychopaths were born that way. Sociopaths learn those skills by watching other sociopaths lol.

Them and corporate executives according to Babiak and Hare. You only have to look at all the wars to understand that it is not a matter of "maybe" - the world IS run by sociopaths. Especially the mob who run the world's major religions. Lash
