American Sociopaths

[BO]

They keep coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches. They eat away at the foundation of civilization. They lie, cheat and steal. They think the world owes them something they don't deserve. They get away with murder.

Who are they?

First, there was "OctoMom". Now apparently, there's a guy who has fathered 21 kids in 11 years.

With 11 different women.

Wow. He must be some kinda charming dude.

What should we call him? How about 'Black Jack".

Man fathers 21 children by 11 different women... and he's only 29

A man aged 29 has fathered 21 children with 11 different women, it emerged yesterday.

Desmond Hatchett's brood came to light after authorities in Tennessee in the U.S. took him to court for non-payment of child support.

Yup. It's true.

Ho BO... I better not tell you about this guy's blog. Oh dear... I just did...

Been wanting to start this thread for awhile. It doesn't matter whether you're rich or poor, an idiot or a genius, there's a growing population of people who simply don't care about the damage they cause. They take what they want whenever they can unencumbered by conscious or guilt.

They fascinate me in a morbid sort o' way. But beyond that, they influence our futures more than any other people. We shouldn't slough them off as idiots. They tend to be very cunning and clever.

Glad to be of help. ;-)

Scott Roeder

"Lee’s post on militant extremism speaks directly to Scott Roeder, the alleged murderer of George Tiller. If we assume that Roeder is indeed the killer, can social science tell us anything about why he did this (or, conversely, why people who feel similarly didn’t do this)? The point of social science is obviously not to explain every individual occurrence of a phenomenon. But it can direct inquiry toward more or less fruitful avenues. Here is a non-exhaustive set of ideas.

Clearly, there are attitudinal foundations, in particular Roeder’s vehement opposition to abortion. Other research on extremism and hate crime finds that its perpetrators are distinct from the general population. For example, this paper by Don Green, Robert Abelson, and Margaret Garnett interviewed 25 hate-crime perpetrators or white supremacists — gleaned from the archives of North Carolinians Against Racial and Religious Violence and then questioned via phone under the guise of a survey. These two groups were more likely than the general public to favor decreased immigration, to favor a law against interracial marriage, and to be uncomfortable with those who seek to ban the Confederate flag. We would expect Roeder to be similarly different from the population.

But attitudes alone aren’t enough. Obviously, Roeder has expressed extreme attitudes for some time. (Other of his features, such as his personality, are similarly stable.) And Tiller’s clinic has been open for decades. So why commit this act now?

What about the economy? A popular theory of violent action (whether crime, hate crime, etc.) is that it’s aggression born of frustration. So an economic downturn leads to unemployment, anger about job prospects, or some combination of these and other factors, and the frustrated persons take out their anger through violence. This theory — which, to be clear, I haven’t seen propounded re: Roeder — is probably less relevant here. One piece of evidence comes from the Green et al. study: hate crime perpetrators and of the economy were a bit worse, but not much. See also this post........" see all at link

Cheney: No link between Saddam Hussein, 9/11

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that he does not believe Saddam Hussein was involved in the planning or execution of the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says Saddam Hussein "provided sanctuary ... and resources to terrorists."

He strongly defended the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq, however, arguing that Hussein's previous support for known terrorists was a serious danger after 9/11.


"On April 15, 1994 C-SPAN* Interviewed Criminal Murderer Vice President Richard "Dick" Cheney who knew back in 1994 War with Iraq would be a Blood Bath with no solution.

Obviously, Cheney believes Oil is more important than Spilled Human Blood".:

( Water-boarding] is torture... It's drowning. It gives you the complete sensation that you are drowning. It is no good, because you -- I'll put it to you this way, you give me a water board, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders. - Jesse Ventura )

""I think that freedom means freedom for everyone," Cheney replied. "As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay, and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family.

"I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish -- any kind of arrangement they wish,'' Cheney said. "The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don't support. I do believe that, historically, the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level. It has always been a state issue, and I think that is the way it ought to be handled, on a state-by-state basis...

"But I don't have any problem with that,'' he said of the same-sex marriages that most of the states in New England, Iowa and the District of Columbia have authorized. "People ought to get a shot at that."

Dick Cheney shot one of his 'hunting buddies' in the face

and then "the friend" goes on teevee and APOLOGIZES!

Yep, and it pretty much sets the example for US culture as a whole.

And after working for several of them over a 35 year career, it became rather obvious which personality types were destined to became managers. Twas the reason I lost my last job. I didn't want to play the game and join in on all the dysfunction. Basically the game was how clever were you at fucking people over. Especially, your subordinates. I couldn't do it.

Being a corporate manager these days is no different than being an executioner. Probably worse. After awhile it becomes impossible to recognize the lie you've become a part of. Its Stockholm Syndrome mixed in with a large quantity of denial. And it's never-ending. At least the executioner's job is over in a couple of minutes.

Thanks for the link. Haven't seen 'the corporation' yet. Maybe tonight.

This could go on the Israel thread but it fits here too.

“The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle),” Friedman wrote in response to the question [how he thinks Jews should treat their Arab neighbors.] posed by Moment Magazine for its “Ask the Rabbis” feature.

There's enough 'evil Friedmans' around to warrant their own thread.

Fucking psychopaths.

[BO]

Watched it. It was very good compared to most. And loaded with sociopaths. I feel satisfied.

Of course knowing that corporate america is run by sociopaths doesn't solve anything. Gotta cut their balls off and keep 'em from breading. Kinda like 'Black Jack', the homie with 21 kids. Enough is never enough--whether it be power, money, or fucking. The id is insatiable because the superego never develops. The result is a society of children whose needs are never satisfied.
