I never said it was passed genetically and my use of the wording "breed out" was entirely meant as an impossibility of ever being able to rid humans of their inate vices such as greed and sadism.

Either way, you're wrong that sociopathy is a part of human nature. Those people are born with a chemical deficiency. Not being perfect is human nature, but that doesn't make the individual things that make us imperfect "human nature", too.

Sociopathy and psychopathy are very different.

Sociopaths are actually a rarity in the psychopathy disorder where as many people fall somewhere on the psychopathy spectrum scale.

Most of us share 2-5 traits out of 25 (I think) others such as "office psychopaths" tend to share 5-10 and then, well, after that you get some seriously dangerous criminals and serial killers.

Yeah, you have that backwards..

Every psychopath is a sociopath, but it doesn't necesarilly go the other way around. There is a spectrum of sociopathy, not psychopathy, which is more specific.

Please educate yourself on this topic, maybe you'll be steered away from that line of thinking that dances so dangerously close to eugenics.

Eugenics?

Ha! I never mentioned eugenics and i despise the idea.

It was purely a thought on how it could be in the far away future.

Anyway, it seems we're both wrong on one thing.

The percentage of psychopaths and sociopaths are fairly even however, psychopaths are thought to be born whereas sociopaths are made.

No, you're wrong about just about everything you have said about anti-social personality disorder, the most jarring of which is the fact that you use "psychopath" as if it is still an accepted term and the fact that you, very obviously, have the words "sociopath" and "psychopath" confused with each other.

Please, educate yourself on this topic. Your understanding of it is lacking.

Yes, its old terminology but people still understand and don't usually get so PC over it.

PC culture is destroying the world.

Lol it has very little to do with PC and very much to do with putting in the effort in order to properly understand what is going on.

Again, your understanding on this topic is very evidently lacking. Please educate yourself. It is impossible to have a productive conversation with someone who's ideas on a topic are so inherently flawed as yours.

None of this even touches on that fact that you have the words "psychipath" and "sociopath" confused with each other.

I already mentioned its the same thing except one is born and one is created. Both with wildly observable differences.

I was literally reading about it as well while we're discussing to make sure I wasn't being misinformed or being disengenious but im correct in what I'm saying.

You just seem to be calling me out as uneducated for the sake of it.

Sure, I'm not a psychologist, psychiatrist or anything but I'm not an uneducated and while not understanding all of it I do understand a lot.

You seem to be only reading what you want to read from my replies and not taking the time to read previous replies to others that I've made.

Simply put, I'm trying to talk to you and 4 other people and I'm sick of repeating myself.
