Former title: Vexation is a piece of vermin, and a bit of a sociopath.
But don't worry, Vex. Tomorrow I may choose to feel better, and then that insult won't count.
Right? :lulz:
QuoteI unconditionally retract the above post, with apologies.
i love you roger, and i don't have to wait for you to feel better tomorrow because i already feel good today.

Of course you feel better, Vex. You hurt some people. That always seems to give you a warm fuzzy feeling.
Moving this to Apple Talk, if you don't have any objections. It's not exactly what I would call a rant.

It's the Reader's Digest Condensed Books version of Vex's "rant".
But no worries. I made my point.
We're all sociopaths here.
Huh, yeah, I'm gonna go with almost nobody here being a sociopath.

Inevitably, everything I say will be construed that way. I might as well play along.

Whatever you have to tell yourself to justify your behavior.
Coyote, you really don't even have the slightest clue what you're talking about right now. Roger, for all that I feel he may be misrepresenting what Vex has said, at least has a years-long repoire with Vex and therefore has some sort of basis for his feelings on the matter. You appear to just be dogpiling on with the crowd and it might be wiser of you to shut the hell up and spit out your foot.
Whatever's going on here is making me sneeze ferociously.
Please discontinue as this is very painful.
Thanks :)
Oh wait, I think it's just these 5 million fucking cats in my god damned house!!!
continue.....

Thank you. I wanted to post this the last time when people were calling eachother "sociopath" simply because somebody didn't act the way they wanted them to and the other replied "I don't care what you think", so maybe we can stop calling eachother "sociopaths" unless they actually are. However, looking at the list of symptoms and diagnosis, I'm pretty sure that an actual sociopath would do something to get themselves banned rather sooner than later.
Antisocial personality disorderFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Sociopath)Antisocial personality disorder (adyp or Atu) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as "...a pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood."[1]
Antisocial personality disorder is sometimes known as sociopathic personality disorder. It is also sometimes referred to as
psychopathy or
sociopathy. Some researchers believe that antisocial personality disorder and psychopathic personality are different conditions.
Signs and symptomsCharacteristics of people with antisocial personality disorder may include:
- Persistent lying or stealing
- Apparent lack of remorse[3] or empathy for others
- Cruelty to animals[4]
- Poor behavioral controls — expressions of irritability, annoyance, impatience, threats, aggression, and verbal abuse; inadequate control of anger and temper
- A history of childhood conduct disorder
- Recurring difficulties with the law
- Promiscuity
- Tendency to violate the boundaries and rights of others
- Aggressive, often violent behavior; prone to getting involved in fights
- Inability to tolerate boredom
- Disregard for right and wrong
- Poor or abusive relationships
- Irresponsible work behavior
- Disregard for safety
DiagnosisDSM
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fourth edition, DSM IV-TR = 301.7, a widely used manual for diagnosing mental disorders, defines antisocial personality disorder (in Axis II Cluster B) as:[1]
A) There is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring for as long as either childhood, or in the case of many who are influenced by environmental factors, around age 15, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:
failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
- deceitfulness, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
- impulsivity or failure to plan ahead;
- irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults;
- reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
- consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another;
- promiscuity;
- having shallow or seemingly nonexistent feelings.
New evidence points to the fact that children often develop Antisocial Personality Disorder as a cause of their environment, as well as their genetic line. The individual does not need to meet a certain age requirement in order to be diagnosed with this disorder.

Nice post. And I totally appreciate your point. Then I completely read it.
The only problem with definitions like that,
not that they aren't good I'm sure, but the problem is you can read them and go WAIT,
like 4 of those can describe me..... It's kind of like going to the online medical pages and realizing the same symptoms can be anything from a hangnail to a brain tumor.
Then you end up spazzing all day thinking OMG OMG OMG I'm a fucking Sociopath, I have a brain tumor.... and possibly the worst.... OMG OMG OMG a
HANGNAIL :omg:

If you're worried about being a sociopath, then you're not one.
Unless of course you're putting on a show of being concerned about being a sociopath, so everyone else around you will come to that conclusion, in which case you're a very clever little psychopath.

sociopath is the new pedophile is the new nazi
it's just another word that used to represent something offensive but now its used so broadly and casually it no longer means anything
like when you read somebody on the Internet calling somebody else a nazi -- you don't think "This motherfucker must be all about white power and antisemitism", you think, "ehhh somebody's flipping out about something."
Yeah but you're obviously a socialist sociopath so why should we believe what you fucking say?
