Psychopathy is clearly ill defined . Kinda hard to find a link to such a vague category.

  Not really. It is ill defined in DSM but if you read Harvey Cleckley "the Mask of Sanity" there is a clear coherent syndrome. Basically it is amoral impulse control disorder. It shows up on fMRI so it is probably more real than half the things in DSM.

        Bye bye you heartless malicious prick. How about we diagnose you, scumbag troglodyte. Why did dang let you back in here? Someone outta shut your troll malicious suicide wishing mouth for you, troll. Seriously, fuck off and shut the fuck up. You show serious indications of being a malicious tribal animal, a lowlife who didn't get his ass kicked enough and talked his way out of trouble one too many times.

  So it must be wrong? I don't know if it is just me but the recentism thought police on the web these days reeks of 1984. Or is that book memoryholed too now because it wasn't published last month? If you look you can find more recent citations of this correlation with smell. So it is not "debunked."

    Nothing wrong with it; just pointing it out. I have no idea where you come up with "debunked"; were you intending to reply to someone else?

    Hey dude, Check my name. Just wanted to say thanks. I put everything in place to do what you recommended. It's what's best for the pool, after all. I wanted to say thanks for helping me to understand how worthless I am staying here. You were right, bro, and I thank you for helping me to understand that. Happy to do what's right for the species. Thanks again! Should be finished in 24 hours. If I stop contacting you, assume the job has been completed. Pool will be a bit cleaner at that time. Congrats on convincing dan g to let you back on here. Aloha.
