Didn't you hear? Silly Euros don't create businesses they sit around and wait for their governments to do it for them. Just check the start up figures and compare them to say the US, Canada, or even China.
Yes, but the difference is qualitative: One has a conscience. He may've grown very cynical or was born to a very hostile enviroment that encouraged him not displaying any compassion. The sociopath has none. It has no ability, nothing.

Kind of like the difference between a scitzophrenic and a scitzoid(can't remember the exact term.) One is curable the other is not.

True but hard to diagnose the difference through their actions. An intelligent Sociopath will probably not admit to being one.
"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
—Orson Welles as Harry Lime
I just wonder why they tie conscience and love together. Might not a sociapath like , love or lust after certain people. Might not they have no conscience but have an intellectualgrasp of what others would consider right and wrong and they stay within those bounds because of the possible consequences of getting caught??
Why could there not be many such people? A person that would cheat at a friendly no-money card game just for the possible ego boost of winning but one who might never be caught breaking a law

Seriously, Fezzie boy isn't a sociopath, he just has a bad temper sometimes, and the terrible guilt attacks he sometimes gets make sure that it can't be true.
Besides that, I bet that no Poly leftist is a sociopath.
Being as dumb as a sack of hammers doesn't make you a sociopath.

I didn't read the article becasue I didn't want to sign up for am pass which might entitle them to sell my email address to all sorts of spaming scum bags.
IIRC the most widely accepted criteria, DSM - 9, virtually requires a history of criminal-like behavior in order to make the diagnosis of antisocial-sociopath. I believe the primary criterion is a history of 3 offenses which involve "a disregard for the rights of others" after the age of 16. I think that there also has to be a demonstrated inability to sustain interpersonal relationships.
The boss who likes to ridicule people might not necessarily fit into the sociopathic category. Ridicule is often a manifestation of a narcissistic personality, but sociopaths are also often rather narcissistic. People who are passive-aggressive also use ridicule as a defense.

You probably see sociopathy here reflected in posters who attack other posters repeatedly , particularly posters such as Giancarlo who it is relatively "safe" to attack, for their own pleasure. We've seen some particularly nasty incidents of it here on Apolyton, such as when a group of posters encouraged Bill3000 to kill himself.
