WTF is going on in France Svarty?

[Rum]

I know exactly what psychopathology means thanks.

[pErvinalia]

Well you should know it's a pejorative.

It isn't. It is technically a personality disorder. Look it up rather than firing from the hip incorrectly.

rEv is as always the expert on everything.

[pErvinalia]

Rum... They're not mutually exclusive.

"Psychopath" does not equal a "person with a psychiatric condition". The referential meaning may well be the same but there is the connotation or the emotive meaning: in the case of psychopath highly loaded and definitely negative. Plus: emotions, as opposed to feelings (the body chemistry) always contain a judgement about the feeling. The linguist hath spoken. But of course as a non-native speaker of English I bow to the native ones.

It depends on the person.

Anyone can call me anything they like, and I wouldn't be fussed.

...except for Fucky McFuckface, since I'm not Scots.

Being around here sometimes does demand sometimes require callus on your soul.(a Dutch saying: eelt op je ziel)

Rum,

Calling a fellow forum member a psychopath is not playing nice as well as being a personal attack. This is a WARNING, implying that more of the same will see you on a short period of enforced absence. Please try an avoid similar characterisations in future.

Yer Mods

I'm afraid I reject this warning. My labeling of Cunt as a 'psychopath' was an educated guess. I think he may well be. It was not intended as an insult or personal attack and in any case, I'm not sure how it can be characterized as a personal slur unless you 'experts' think a psychiatric condition is a personal failing

This is how you 'diagnose'? I submit that you are simply projecting, and really are talking about yourself.

If you are trying to make a point, all you have convinced me of so far, is that you are unprofessional about mental health matters, and unwilling to treat with respect, those who have different political views.

I pity anyone who suffered this kind of 'diagnosis' while you were practicing.

Your insults really don't bother me. I would allow you to call me anything you like.

Our hosts, though, have different expectations of us here. I do what I can to respect them.

So your insults (as is often the case) say a lot more about you, than about me.

Of course, everyone educated beyond jr. high school knows that already.

The term psychpath isn’t actually a formal psychiatric diagnosis. As mentioned earlier it is classed as a personality disorder and is widely considered to be untreatable. It is often characterised by the person saying things, not on the basis of their views or outlook but on the basis of what will be to their advantage, whatever the effect, negative or otherwise on other people. Most could I suppose be characterised, using the vernacular as ‘cunts’. Odd you should choose that as a user name.

All the best to you.

[Cunt]

It is clear that the only way to maintain your worldview, is to pretend that anyone in disagreement with you is lying.

Best to you as well, old man.

Getting back to the topic, why are there crowds around Europe (not just in France) chanting 'we want Trump'?

So all politicians are psychopaths?
