3. I think he is. I'd like to see an fMRI done on him and let's see the result...
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 08:51 AM by Triana
...after having read "The Sociopath Next Door" and "Without Conscience" and others, I'm convinced bu$hit is a psycho. Scary thing is, MOST of them are NOT in prison. They're running the governments and corporations of the world!

Or, just busy ruining other people's lives in other ways.

EDIT: More from the link in the OP:

"Psychopaths are incapable of authentic deep emotions. In fact, when Robert Hare, a Canadian psychologist who spent his career studying psychopathy, did brain scans on psychopaths while showing them two sets of words, one set of neutral words with no emotional associations and a second set with emotionally charged words, while different areas of the brain lit up in the non-psychopathic control group, in the psychopaths, both sets were processed in the same area of the brain, the area that deals with language. They did not have an emotional reaction until they intellectually concluded that it would be better if they had one, and then they whipped up an emotional response just for show."

"Snakes in Suits" (Hare/Babiak) is a great read about psychopaths in the workplace/business/government.
