ORIGINAL: popeye1250 He's obviously a sociopath. We need to have some testing program to ferret out sociopaths/psychopaths when they're young and then put them down. They do far too much damage to too many human beings. One day little Johnny is led out of sixth grade classroom and no-one ever see's him again. "Johnny won't be down for breakfast anymore." They're "human" in the sense that they're flesh and blood but that's where it ends. One lady I know summed it up nicely; "They're beings that don't have a soul." I'm not so sure it's soul they lack as varying degrees of conscience, empathy, remorse, guilt, shame, honesty, authenticity, tact, sensitivity, concern and responsibility for others, deep emotion, impulse control, social inhibitions. Were we able to ID socio/psychopaths when young and put them down, I fear many rulers, politicians, physicians, etc., and a significant part of the general population would cease to exist. I understand where you're coming from but one Ted Bundy can do a hell of a lot of damage don't you think? Even psychiatrists will tell you that there is "no treatment" for a sociopath. Oh, no doubt, Pops, I agree. And, not only is there no treatment, many of them are so charismatic and skilled at lying and manipulation, they are able to fool even the best psychiatrists. That's true, they probably need three psychiatrists to make that determination. But, these are very dangerous beings and the public needs to take preventitive action against them. (They) even think they're "normal". Right now the only pre-emtive action taken against these monsters is usually contact with law enforcement for breif periods. And any one of them have the potential of becoming the next "Ted Bundy." Like they say, "there are devils that walk the earth" or something close to that.
