what's a primary psychopath and how do you treat that?
One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

lol- you don't really treat it- although some researchers are trying to tell us that you can- but its still largely unproven- anyhoo
Wikipedia actually has a pretty comprehensive but slightly out of date article on it - the term you might use in the US is probably sociopathy- which is similar but not the same diagnostically - but then we can't use psychopathy as a diagnosis anyway as the correct diagnosis would be anti-social personality disorder- the two sub-types of psychopathy just describing different cluster-sets of symptomologies and differentiating between the psychopathy attached to or derived from another primary disorder such as schizophrenia or OCD or Bi-polar as opposed to being the 'sole' diagnosis and therefore 'primary'- there is also a differentiation between the 'instrumental' nature of the one type over the 'impulsiveness' of the other
sorry for the psychobabble and jargon

Meh, what the hell do you know about psychiatry, psychodiva?
I'll take my advice from our resident neurologist/psychiatrist Cal, who has read dozens (dozens, I tell you!) of articles. What good is your degree compared to that kind of knowledge?

obviously nothing compared to the humble expert opinion of Cal
but seriously- I'm not an expert- if you want one of those read some stuff by Hare or Monahan or read some attachment stuff by Phil Rich (great guy) or more attachment stuff by Marshall (another great guy) to do with sexual offending. There is loads out there- just don't go for the pure research stuff - go for the clinicians who actually work with them rather than pure neurological research as all they can do is show you how their brain works- also don't read the old FBI stuff- its a lot out of date and a lot sensationalised the stuff by Douglas etal that is.

Yeah. It reminded me of how I've arranged my crayons.
I like crayons.

Perfect!

just a cut 'n paste of stuff I already posted at redcafe - man united - forum. We seem to have exposed one of the scumbags there. Moniker of UKBob. Then again we seem to have a fair share of racists on the forum there - Oldham being a hotbead of BNP support and not so far from Old Trafford.
There's loads on the list from Sheffield!!!

Hah, a Man U fan living in Bedford. Reminds me of the classic comment when they were bumped out of some cup or other a few years ago - They'll be crying on the streets of Milton Keynes. Teehee.

@riddler;
Ian Paisely comes to mind,and an old joke about him:
(imagine broad brogue) He's ranting at a rally to expel all Catholics from Northern Ireland;;
"--and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth by the Catlicks in hell!"
An old man in the audience asks,reasonably "What about those who have no teeth?"
The thunderous reply "Teeth will be provided!"
(Paisley allegedly actually said that))
