now I am really confused..psychotics include many disorders, right?  not just psychopaths?

and the statement is especially relevant because I recently likened another forum, which is very toxic to a 'psych ward that is contagious'

I believe  the studies found in the book Political Ponerology which indicat that psychotics represent 10-12% of the population but most are functional psychotics meaning that they have the ability to supress their bloodier instincts in favor of self preservation when necessary. The charisma of such people tends to engender psychotic like tendencies in the people around them though.

They have found 2 factors in most psychopaths..genetics and environment.  Some people have genetic potential but because of good environment, it never manifests.  Some people have potential, and combined with abuse in their childhood, it manifests clearly.

this video outlines it well

It is no wonder that the US is so messed up as evidenced by the numerous crime statistics that tend to prove this. We are fed lies and falsehoods from our earliest memories( Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny???) We are babysat by barney, sesame street and tele-tubbies while forced to work two or more jobs just to cover the ever increasing cost of living that TPTB continue to manipulate into an ever downward spiraling tempest of debt slavery. We spend most of our lives in indoctrination centers called schools, taught  whatever curriculum happens to be en vogue with the upper echelon. Images of death and disaster fill our airwaves and our minds, FEAR is the most common emotion vibrating through our society and psyches.

Right ! see this: Social Environment Contributes to Crime  Kill the tube!

...Crime and international comparisons

A comparison of crime rates among various nations indicates that social environments strongly influence criminal behavior.

For instance, the homicide rate for young whites in the U.S. has been six times the rate for all races combined in France. And the rate has been twenty times the total homicide rate in Japan.

A similar phenomenon is seen in regard to Hispanics. The incidence of juvenile delinquency among Puerto Rican youth in New York City is far higher than that of their peers in Puerto Rico.

Overall, murder rates in the U.S. have been between three and twenty times those of other industrialized countries.

Even Canada's murder rate is only about a fourth of the levels experienced by its next-door neighbor to the south. For homicides committed by youth, the U.S. rate has been as much as ten times the Canadian levels.

Rates of robbery, burglary, rape, and other serious crimes are also generally much higher in the U.S. than in other industrialized nations.

Because genetic differences among human populations are miniscule, it's not surprising that environmental factors have been correlated with crime.

I agree, Maria, and like I said, the ones allowing this stuff to permeate the minds of their kids shoulder a great share of the blame. I used to plop my kids in front of the tube and think nothing of it...until I woke up and had to fight tooth and nail to ween them from their electronic nanny. Most adult/parents seems to be just as glued to the nanny box as many children are. It is sad that so many people live their lives hypnotized by the TV and rarely make conscious decisions base on thought and consideration. It seems like damn near everything a person does is a subconscious response to subconscious stimuli.

Well TommyD you may be right about American media exploiting these stories ad infinitum and beyond but few societies make the Celebration of Violence their daily info/entertainment-bread like Amerika does

@ Shiva....I concur 100%

I know from personal experience, if it were not for the soothing and relaxing effects of maryjane....quite a few more coffins would be filled...I was an angry youth.

Is it that America has more of these types or is it that the American media runs these stories ad naseum? I blame the media in part but I also blame the ones allowing this stuff to infiltrate the minds of our youth and create the wrong thinking in the first place. There is an off switch on EVERY electronic device.
