i am glad to get allot of good comments

Brother - I'm just thinking that if I ever saw the signs in someone I know, what are the appropriate steps to take. Talk to them? Call the police and have the person evaluated? (I think that would really set them off if the police didn't take it further than questioning them). Is there a way that we can intervene and possibly save the lives of others before someone around us snaps?

Preemptive attack would work. Kill them before they kill you, just in case.

Mark, have you ever been tested for lacking empathy?

Where do you get tested for empathy?

###### disturber!

I am not sure I get it then. You are saying that, underneath they do know, for example that taking the purse is wrong, but will bury that deep inside and articulate, to themselves and others the 'but I had to do it, because the person deserved it' type of reasoning?

I'd like to get tested. I'm worried I might have caught empathy from one of them empathetic bitches back in the day.

sister purple..again ....

the point is that asocial types..have a highly developed defense mechanism of rationalization./....they do know but they can debate it away in their minds

Sounds like most of the pot smoking peace loving hippies I know. "It's okay to steal from the man, because he has already stolen everything people should have."

I can't agree with that the idea that "fantasizing about killing leads to it." I'm sure that's the case for some individuals, but I can't imagine that's the norm.

I certainly fantasized about killing tons of classmates when I was in high school. I never did it because doing so would ruin my life, not to mention harm a lot of families in the process.

Are you serious? When you say fantasized, you imagined yourself actually killing them or you just thought your life would be better off if they somehow just dropped dead?

A little of both.

Remember something here. I was bullied during my entire childhood and toward the end of my teens. The sheer amount of hatred I had for those tormenting me was overwhelming. So naturally I imagined myself killing them. I didn't do it and I don't think I really would have if given the opportunity. Having said that, I certainly wouldn't have been upset if one (or more) of them "dropped dead."

Oh man. Sorry to hear that happened to you. I have a brother who was just one school grade ahead of me....he had a tough time at school - he was tall & lanky and socially awkward. Thankfully, our neighborhood was pretty tight - all of us kids new each other well, and there were enough that stuck up for him. Had he not had that kind of social support, I don't know what would have happened to him.

As a parent, I really think the most important thing you can do for your kids is to get them to socially interact with other kids, which is kind of hard these days....everyone keeps their kids inside the house, isolated from the spooky world outside.
