1) You are either sociopathic or not, and you can't cure it. You had some immature phase and you grew out of it.
2) We're talking about sociopathy, not atheism.
3) This "everyone is faking mental illness" crap is touted by people who have little or no understanding of what mental illness is. As evidenced by point 1
4) Go do some research from a variety of sources on this subject. Maybe even get to know people who have mental illness. This may make you sound like you know what you're talking about, rather than a bit like an SJW.
There are always people in between the spectrum of extreme and minor, those are the people that I'm talking about. I made that pretty clear in what I wrote, but I guess you have no idea how to make a common distinction. They're "bi-polar" because they act grumpy sometimes and then people say "oh they're just bipolar leave them alone". Then they learn that they can get away with it and keep doing it. They're are people who are assholes who never "grow out of it" which is what the person who [MENTION=23115]BadOctopus[/MENTION] sounds like. These people just need to be told to stop being assholes. That's what I'm talking about dude. I made that obvious.
Btw, [bleep], sociopath generally refers to the people that I'm talking about. The really messed up people are usually referred to as psychopaths. Be careful you try to sound clever to buddy, I actually have my facts straight.
I'm not talking about the jeffery dahmers of the world who, i believe, are the outcome of a life of extreme neglection, lack of social attention/social awareness, and maybe some other things which grows into what I myself would classify as mental illness. Those people, obviously, deserve help. I don't know who would say that they don't. But, if you had really paid attention to the point I was getting at, you'd realize that I'm not referring to people like that. Use your head.
If you actually read my entire post... then you would realize that I was addressing the fact that there are a ton of assholes out there who just don't give a fuck and its wrong to act like theres something "clinically" wrong with them.
Some (I have to make sure that you realize the difference between some and everyone now) people are just assholes and deserve no sympathy or understanding for the fact that they're assholes. Let me be clear since you obviously have a problem making common distinctions, I'M NOT SAYING THAT PSYCHOPATH KILLERS DONT NEED HELP. I'm saying that people who are total assholes, but have there life together, don't deserve sympathy, they deserve a firm sit down and a fist in the face. Thats enough for a lot of people.
1) How do you know? Oh yeah, you don't.
2) [bleep] You're real clever behind your computer.
3) Again, never once did I say "everyone". It sucks that you don't know how to make a simple distinction. I think you have a mental disorder. You need to be treated, there's no other way you can be fixed.
4) Go [bleep] a [bleep] . I can't stand you know it alls on modern medicine and modern academia's nuts.
