Those are completely different situations? So you believe serial killers are good and someone who doesn’t actually kill is the same as a serial killer. Good lord man, you need to either stop the drugs or start taking some.

Don’t bother me with your insanity anymore

You do understand dogs that attack people unprovoked are put down everyday right? And to compare a dog’s critical thinking to a human’s is asinine.

A priest is allowed to molest kids as long as he does good things to balance it? If you truly believe that then you are out of your mind.

You’ve got an interesting sense of logic

Are you implying she’s the only one you trust or did you just feel like announcing that

Can you tell me why you believe serial killers are neither good or bad

An illness can be defined as something acquired whereas chemical imbalances, brains wired differently than “average” are inherent. Think of it as diabetes type 1 and 2. One you are born with and the other is one you develope.

A pedophile who does not act on their impulses is the same as a psychopath masking their personality. They are inhibiting who they are and if not given the proper support and monitoring will cause damage to others.

Historical psychopathy is a whole other issue which we would need to discuss lead poisoning.

I’m not promoting retribution, I stated rehabilitation and professional help a couple times. I’m not arguing with you, I am trying to understand why you believe people should not be judged yet understand there are natural born killers in society.

I think animals are much more capable of empathy than the average person

The system is built by the society, the rules they enforce. The purpose of a prison system should be to separate the bad apples from the good, rehabilitate the ones we can and keep the lost causes away from vulnerable people. I’m sure you know that this hasn’t been enforced very well, especially when it comes to the most sensitive positions of power.

I’m not saying we should try to prevent crimes that haven’t happened by locking people up right away, I’m saying we should take sociopathic tendencies a bit more seriously and address them directly with trained professionals rather than waiting for them to cause damage. That would require judging people’s character.

If you’ve ever been the innocent victim of any crimes I think you would likely say you wish someone saw the signs earlier, and if the criminal doesn’t get more than a slap on the hand you would likely agree that our society is corrupt and broken. That it would seem the end goal is not to protect the herd, but rather provide a facade for evil to hide behind.

Do you see any current day examples of how a minority of people acting with machevellianism can rise to positions of power because they are willing to trample everyone in their path with complete disregard for human life?

I’m not advocating eugenics unless you think prison counts

You’re right in that the majority of people have terrible judgement, not everyone has training to recognize personality traits and often make horrible assumptions. But at the core of it, if you strive for a society with as little conflict as possible, you require the general to care about the general.

A narcissistic psychopath is inherently, by definition, incapable of doing that naturally. They can mask and imititate but left to their own devices they will always be a detriment to society as a whole. Narcissism, lack of empathy and remorse, manipulation are all grouped as Anti-Social Personality Disorders for a reason.

They aren’t anti-social in the sense that they don’t like to party, they are anti-social in the sense that their goals do not align with a properly functioning society.

You recognize that our world breeds narcissistic psychopaths so you likely understand it would be in your best interest to avoid them but you also don’t think you should make judgements on people’s character

Your comment seems to be conflicting

That type of betrayal is actually so common that there is a term for it, look up “cancer ghosting”. A lot of people wouldn’t believe in it until it happens to them.

I’ve also almost met exclusively assholes, it happens

Why the drastic change?

This is a realistic mindset

I unfortunately would help out 99% of people

You truly believe nearly all people you’ve met are good hearted? I’d like to move there!

Few and far in between

Having been through a bad health situation, I understand what you mean. Not even my own parents supported me.

10000% yes. The easiest people to manipulate are the desperate and manipulators love dangling carrots.

What’s worse is that this is easily recognizable but nothing will ever be done about the nutjobs who enjoy watching others suffer at their hand.

There is no reason to believe we don’t live in hell
