Hi Mr Jack Do you really think he has changed?Do you think behavior in those years do not signify deeply held biases?Of course Schrubbia was a bully too ...Enjoy.

Childhood Signs of Sociopath

​

A sociopath exhibits dysfunctional behavior in regards to others. He frequently violates the law, lies, becomes violent and may abuse alcohol or drugs. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV), a person diagnosed as a sociopath, or antisocial personality disorder as it also is called, will have had a diagnosis of conduct disorder before the age of 15.

​

The profile of an early sociopath always includes some form of violence. This usually is seen as involvement in physical fights and using weapons such as bats, broken bottles and knives. Cruelty to animals is another common feature. A child may harm or even kill an animal and show little to no remorse for his actions. Destruction to property, such as fire setting, often is observed.

Are you raising a sociopath?

​

In a story that made national headlines last week, Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr., 17, gunned down his mother, a Gwinnett County sheriff’s deputy, and his two younger sisters, one of whom, Jelani, 4, was the daughter of rap star Juvenile.

​

Anthony Tyrone Terrell Jr. is most likely a sociopath — a bad seed born with no conscience or empathy for others.

​

Experts say even in a loving home environment, a sociopath can grow up to kill his entire family, then grab a basketball and go shoot hoops with friends as if nothing happened.

Those are the first two google hits on sociopath childhoodPersonally I think bullying is sociopathic behavior that cannot just be brushed away because it was long ago.Also see waking you up - psychopathic bullying | psychopaths who bully | murder by suicide | puzzling people

... The fact is that psychopaths adore themselves, period. What is being classified as self-loathing is in reality more akin to resentment and jealousy. They do not feel inferior to other people who enjoy the relationships, social life, careers and material goods which the psychopath covets - they just want to take these things away from the victims for the sake of it. A sick game of one-upmanship which can destroy another person’s life for a brief rush of energy in the psychopath.

​

This resentment is most commonly seen when psychopaths bully other adults, having first developed their craft as children. They begin to realise the value of bullying while still in school - however, they will continue to do this for the rest of their lives as bullying pays off for the psychopath on many levels towards their relationship, social and employment ambitions. ...

I think it says a lot about how Mitt does business ... who admits that he likes to fire people ...Enjoy.Edited by RAZD, : addedEdited by RAZD, : qsoute

Hi Mr Jack And his behavior? or does he still bully? They also have to be shown that they need to change.Apparently he was not even reprimanded or ostracized in any way for his behavior, rather he had a bunch of cohorts that helped, giving him reinforcement and reason to think it was proper behavior. You are assuming that bully behavior stopped at 18, an age old enough to be drafted ...Enjoy.

Hi Mr Jack And I could say that you need to provide evidence that he had reformed, that he changed.Personally I think the onus is on Romney to show that he has reformed, that there was a turning point that he can point to where he realized that the behavior was wrong.I don't see that with his response to this issue.Enjoy

Hi Rahvin, psy•cho•path
noun
a person with a psychopathic personality, which manifests as amoral and antisocial behavior, lack of ability to love or establish meaningful personal relationships, extreme egocentricity, failure to learn from experience, etc.Can you show me a bully that has empathy for their victims, that thinks beating people is moral or socially acceptable behavior?Yes it may be possible for mild cases to learn that the behavior is wrong, but they need to be put in a situation where they need to learn to alter their behavior. No psychological change can occur without a perceived need to change.And there appears to be a higher number of psychopaths in the top economic positions than there are in the general public:Are Rich People More Psychopathic? - Big Think

As part of a very public resignation, a former senior investor at Goldman Sachs has remarked on the company's poisonous corporate culture which encourages investors to cheat their clients. Might that kind of unethical behavior be more common among the rich and powerful? According to a 2010 study of 203 corporate executives, psychopathic behavior (which includes being manipulative, deceitful and unempathetic) was five times more common among the executives than in the general population.

5 times more common???Forbidden

Both the financial elite and their servants who maintain this system, appear to exhibit behavior that is consistent with symptoms associated with a medical disorder known as psychopathy.(*) Psychopaths, also called sociopaths, are categorized as those who exhibit superficial charm and intelligence, and are absent of delusions or nervousness. ...

Do you think that a person who claimed to like firing people has empathy for them? Personally I think that is the tip of the iceberg of his behavior regarding other people, it just happens to be the most visible at this time, and it certainly does not appear that he has ever had any kind of epiphany in this regard to think his behavior was ever wrong.Enjoy.Edited by RAZD, : ..

Hi Taz, 1965 was my senior year at an exclusive high school in Michigan -- but one where admission was based on intelligence rather than money.As a youth I was a boy scout, and as an adult I've been a scoutmaster.My politics were radical liberal, progressive before it was called progressive, as they are now.Yes, I've learned a lot of information since then, but my behavior towards other people is not significantly different. And I also look at the way he responded to the allegations, and how that fits the pattern of the pathology ...Enjoy.

Hi Coyote, In 1965 well over half of the students in my school smoked pot, myself included. I also know of parents that smoked pot. Curiously, I do not consider pot smoking to be abuse when the effects are less addiction than cigarettes and the high is no different from alcohol, tending to be less violent if anything.I do not see that smoking pot made a person harm another person, nor that it harmed me in any way, and I am still in favor of legalizing pot.But I can count the number of bullies in my class with one finger. And I know that he harmed other people. Curiously, I am not in favor of legalizing bullying.Are they really comparable behavior?Enjoy.

Hi Mr Jack So that makes it okay ... ? If you stretch the definition perhaps, and I could ask you for an example ...But not a physical attack that defaced anyone or altered the way a person looked, an attack that left lasting psychological scars decades later.This was not a high school prank, it was viscous and intentional. Your definition must be different from mine.Enjoy.

Hi Coyote, So he freely admitted it of his own accord, volunteered the information before running for president. And Mitt has YET to admit to improper behavior -- he first denied it, then dismissed it as a "prank" and continues to equivocate, adjusting his story as he goes (like he does on all his positions ... ).Did Obama intentionally hurt someone? Mitt did.Do I see a double standard? Yes, that you claim that these are comparable incidents.Enjoy.

Hi Jon, But he isn't - he hasn't had to do any "paying" yet.Enjoy.

Hi Coyote, If find it curious that you do not see a distinct difference between a person who freely admits to a certain behavior, without pressure ...... and a person who first denies, then dismisses as a prank which he doesn't remember, after being exposed by several witnesses ...... between a person who acknowledges bad behavior and that he has changed (heck he even gave up cigarettes eh) ...... and someone who ... I have said should show that he has changed behavior. Curiously, you pointed out that Obama did this in his book, but have not shown that Romney has even begun to discuss this with the seriousness that it should require, especially today when bullying is beginning to see much long needed attention.Yes your standard is doubled.Enjoy.

Hi Blue Jay If he had used a knife to cut the hair would it be different? Remember that intimidation is a part of bullying.But I agree that murder was not part of the intent -- injury was, whether physical or mental is irrelevant.Enjoy.
