First, "psychopath" is an informal term rather than an official diagnostic category. The latter is "Antisocial Personality Disorder." This noted, it remains the case that there exists a set of personality traits which are taken as indicative of being a "psychopath" in the loose sense. These are to be found in the Hare Psychopathy Checklist.

Let's list the chief ones: (1) Insincere charm, (2) Getting easily bored, (3) Compulsive lying, (4) Manipulation of others, (5) No remorse or guilt, (6) little emotional reaction, (7) cruelty without feeling bad about it, (8) taking advantage of others, (9) behavior problems that start in childhood, (10 failure to accept responsibility, (11) many sexual relationships.

You have (actually I did it for you) presented evidence for exactly one of these traits in my case - #6, little emotional reaction. Where is your evidence for any of the others? Clearly, you don't have it or you would have presented it (assuming that you know what a "psychopath" is and aren't merely throwing the term around in a lame attempt at derogation.

The ball is in your court.

P.S. I suspect that when one of the mods notices this back and forth we are both going to be dinged for off topic remarks and/or "trolling outside of the Cooler," and have the exchanges removed from here. If you'd like, go ahead and start a thread in the Cooler, Something like "Proof that Philovan is a psychopath." I'd really like to see what you can (can't) do in the way of evidence for the other 10 traits.

Didn't realize how easily triggered you were.

I'm certainly not trolling.

I think part of your Dunning-Kruger is showing, the mods likely give fuck-all about this conversation.

I'm not wasting further time, it wasn't my intention to trigger you. My statement was simply an observation and wasn't intended to be derogatory. It's not like you CHOSE your condition.

Yes, you're done. That is clear enough. You have no reply to a logically rigorous argument so take the typical road for such situations - diversion. Your babble about "triggering" is amusing. You should go ride Roy Rogers's horse.

Back in the mid 70’s, I was working for a funeral home, that also had an ambulance service as well.. We were sent to a car accident where a family of six burned alive in a station wagon! It was utterly horrific, listening to, and watching those kids die in front of our eyes, and there was nothing we could do.!!!!

Yeah, no shit.

That's an easy diagnosis to make upon reading your need to point out that someone's assertion that the bystanders/people who tried to help will be traumatized is flawed or "naive" because there may be rare exceptions.

At some point I think I would have just been begging for them to kill me quickly.

The exceptions are the people who are so psychologically vulnerable that they are traumatized by witnessing the deaths of others. Having served in Vietnam, I don't say that they are rare exceptions (PTSD is real enough), but they are the exceptions just the same. Most (fellow soldiers) weren't indifferent by any means, but "traumatized" - not usually.

If the shoe were on the other foot, would you be willing to do the killing?
