Lovefraud recently received an e-mail from a reader telling us about discussion on another Internet forum called PsychForums. Here’s what he wrote:
Found an interesting set of postings. On PsychForums. “Craving for Antisocial Behavior.” With postings between four psychopaths. Arguing for various positions With general agreement that society has infringed on them. And so deserves the revenge. Sounding like people are viewed similarly to enemy combatants. And deserve what they get.
Alternate view is that people’s revulsion against psychopaths is understandable. That people don’t want bad things to happen to them. So don’t be a fool and don’t get caught or cry unfair. There are plenty of ways to enjoy life without having to risk jail to get it.
Seems to sum up the psychopath side of the story fairly well.
If you want to know how these psychopaths think, read their discussion:

OMG!! Did anyone see McWar??? Looked like he was going to blow! The rage was right under the surface….
Ox D.,

You got it, new world! You obviously have experience with one who thinks like this. I could not figure that riddle out to save my life! Apparently, that question was asked of various prisoners in a state facility. A large majority of them knew the answer.

It is very very hard to wrap my mind around the way a sociopath thinks. I have to really force myself to think that if my ex ever came back, it wouldn’t be because he genuinely missed me or cared about me. It would be because he thinks I’m an easy source of supply. It’s kind of disheartening to have to think like this. It’s profoundly sad and creepy.

I am just incredulous that there are real people out there who think this way. Did you catch that one guy who said that “normal people don’t really care when someone is murdered. They just don’t want it to happen to them.”
Not only can they not feel empathy, but they don’t even grasp the concept of empathy!! They think we’re all faking it!!!! Did you catch that? Wow. I just cannot wrap my mind around that mentality.

I agree. It is very sad and creepy… Devalue and discard and onto the next poor victim.

I didn’t like reading about them, but I did and I think it is good to know what they think and feel and to hear it from the source. It confirm’s what we all know -and we are all on the same side of the pain. So it put’s thing’s into perspective for me…creepy .. but hey we all lived with one – loved one – so we need to listen and recognize them next time they speak too us….

Amen to that Henry. God forbid we should ever experience that again!

Reading that pshyco blog makes you want to take a shower. Yucccckk!. And yes they don’t make sense. The twisted sex and porn thing is ALL to familiar. And “enjoy life” means screw people over and take what you want.
I have been consulting with family law attorneys lately and some of them have REAL good experience and insights about these folk as they have both acted for and against P’s. When I tell my story they spot my P right away. They do concede that if you are married to one, they can play you for a long time.
I would like to once again recommend the film “The Corporation” VERY instructive about P’s and how our corporate world is structured around their type of behavior. Profits before people and all that kind of thing. Puts why we are where we are at in clear perspective.
In the case of the corporation and it’s role in society as a P, (think of the fascist bail out of the greedy thieves on Wall st.)
In the case of the corporation, we can take legal remedies, by removing rights that corp’s have usurped, especially their “right” to “personhood” ie, all our civil rights, only for a legal fiction, the corporate “person” ( So for example you can’t keep a toxic dump out of your community because your would be violating the “corp. persons” 13th ammendment right to not be discrimminated against etc) Lovely.
What I am saying here is that we have allowed an entity that is structured to behave like a P to have the rights of people, and allowed them access to “owning” our government, media, and effectively our military. Hence the current mess.
We are not fighting a “War on Terror” we are fighting a corporate war for corporate P’s. And the sickest irony is that the “poverty draft” caused by corporate greed and imablance in allocation of public resources, is causing people to join the military to fight these wars, as the economy is too top heavy to afford them meaningful, upwardly mobile work in a peaceful economy.
So that is where the “successful” P’s gather. The halls of power, the top of the steaming pile.
Thanks, all, for the rant. Cheers

Yeah Star that is really crazy.. they do think our show of emotion is all an act. No wonder they don’t react to our tears. They think we are just trying to get our way or something. I’ve wondered so many times how they can come back and act like nothing is wrong after they say horrible things to us and get all the kids crying.
