lol just wanted to see who'd post... the first point should have been my narcissism showing through with 5 posts in a row... but instead you point out that, yes, indeed, sociopaths and narcissists are often in power and do lead.

[Langrisserx]

trickle down economics is directly tied to these sociopaths ... we can't break from the overflowing teat of ruthless dishonesty with full loot bags

[Langrisserx]

we can ban them, but we can't ban ourselves... food for thought.

I don't know why Langrisserx. All I know is that it is a waste of my energy to attack a heard of sheep. When there's no meat on their bones and the shepherds are sitting on the fence with AK47's.

You copypasted DSMIV which is shit anyway, wtf... narcissist with a touch of sociopath I sense in you, but not really.

I believe u respect power and have loyalty. Which is not a socio/psychopathic thing.

All the rest of that crap is crap.

We wouldn't need the DSM if we didn't give up our power and control millenia ago and become a species of weak heard animals.

Bears don't give a fuck, something wrong with humans, humans are the insane ones.
