8/3/2013 9:33:56 PM Posted: 7 years ago Let me be clear: I am NO fan of Ron Paul (or his son), but this is a bit surprising.

8/3/2013 10:41:36 PM Posted: 7 years ago My question is whether or not Ron Paul knew who the guy was.

8/4/2013 7:08:43 AM Posted: 7 years ago Ron Paul is an unbalanced, angry old lady.
However, I cannot condemn him for this photo. Many people present themselves to him for autographs and photos, and handshakes and to lick his boots in one way or another. This photo only shows that the Stormfront people admire him, which was already well known. |

Not that there's anything objectively wrong with that - just an appropriate description.

8/4/2013 11:56:55 AM Posted: 7 years ago Although the definition is iffy, sociopaths are generally in full awareness of the consequences that their actions hold. They are fully functioning members of society who are capable of logical reasoning, and the basis for their actions are at least grounded in what one might consider rationality. Psychopaths are generally detached from society and suffer from delusions.
For example, Hannibal Lecter is a sociopath. A man who killed his family because the demon spoke to him through a hairbrush is a psychopath (along with a host of other mental problems) "Easy is the descent to Avernus, for the door to the Underworld lies upon both day and night.

Taking a single class in psychology will tell you that essentialy everything you've said is wrong. The Hairbrush killer is a psychotic, not a psychopath. What you defined as sociopathy is ACTUALLY psychopathy. A person who has broken with reality has experienced a psychotic break/psychosis. Sociopathy is generally speaking a lesser form of psychopathy. Psychopathy is the distinct lack of empathy, awareness of the moral implications of one's actions, but a complete disregard for them. Psychopaths generally experience either very little emotion, or very shallow and fleeting emotion. Sociopaths generally share the same problem of difficulty empathizing, but do generally experience emotions.

Lordknukle, I don't think you're so callous as you let on though, otherwise you wouldn't be here espousing such sentiment. |
