It's not that I'm incapable of emotions, it's that I have a tendency to inappropriately express it. I laugh at things that most people find shocking, and get pissed off at things most would shrug off.

Sounds an awful lot like that "joy and acceptance inward, rage and contempt outward" thing I was talking about. Normals don't really understand psychopathic emotions, at least not usually, and definitely not the so-called authorities.

Stopping the immature killing of animals would be a good start. Maybe take up hunting, but if you do, eat what you shoot.

I've identified the reason for this as stemming from a complete disdain for society. It's not that I have a problem with all societal norms, but in this case it's a disdain for society becoming overly sensitive. I feel like society has turned into a bunch of pussies. Trump getting elected honestly gave me faith in humanity again. I just wish more people would stand up and become aggressively adversarial to those wishing to turn society into pussies.

No, they don't. They don't have a clue. People often underestimate psychopaths and assume they aren't capable of being rational. When it's actually the complete opposite. People who are overly emotional are the ones who have problems with rational thinking.

I do like hunting. Just for sport though. The way I see it, is if I don't eat something, some other organism will. Because that's how the ecosystem works. Even if I shoot a dove dead, a coon, possum, coyote, buzzard, or even microorganisms are going to devour it. Waste is only a perception. Even an inflation of self importance. Like just because I don't consume something, it goes to waste.

I remember when I was like 6-8 years old (memories from that time are foggy for me), but there was this flower bush down the street from us, and these little butterflies would land on it. Hundreds of them. I remember walking up to it, and grabbing butterflies and pulling the wings off them. I don't remember an actual thought process behind it. Almost like it was pure impulse.

Looking back on that I can identify now, for a fact that I have a disdain for "cuteness". Butterflies are in that category. So my disdain for society might even stem from something else that I haven't identified yet. It's probably pointless trying to deconstruct everything.

Scrotie, I don't think you're psychopathic - perhaps higher in the spectrum than normal, but that's miles off from people who are genetically incapable of feeling. The mere fact you're talking about guilt says enough. Perhaps the depression you're talking about tricked you into thinking you're psychopathic, which isn't unheard of. Depression results in blunted emotions, which may be confused with other conditions. Also, a true psychopath won't be capable of being depressed either. It's a rare condition and it can be observed on brain scans, by the way - the amygdala (the brain's emotional processor) is noticeably smaller than normal.

About morality, I believe a fully rational and thinking human being, utterly selfish, devoid of emotion and a sense of good and evil, should reach the conclusion the best course in life is to treat people well unless given sufficient cause to treat them otherwise. "He/she annoys me" is not sufficient cause. The reason is straightforward and simple: we live in a highly interconnected and interdependent system called society and, if you consistently behave like an ass, the long-term negative repercussions are guaranteed. Same goes for being a consistently trustworthy and nice person - people may sometimes take advantage of you, but life as a whole will be a lot smoother and easier. This doesn't mean being a pushover, it means being good by default, with an option for badness - when called for. Aka, tit-for-tat.

@Mr.Smiley - right now you impulses are fucking you over in the long term. I understand the "I can't be bothered" pattern of behavior, but it's a bit like with physical exercise. To receive the best long-term results, you have to perform some difficult or unpleasant short-term actions from time to time. If you can't be bothered to push yourself in the short term, sooner or later you'll suffer for it.

Quite the cognitive dissonance there. Obviously the reason is much older than your perception of a soft society.

I think at an early age, I learned that the life I was living was in opposition to what I wanted to do, even if it was for good reason. My parents were super strict. Like get up and go to bible school, and church every Sunday. Absolutely hated every second of it. Hated going to school too. Rather than just suck it up and do what I was told, I was a problem child. I got my ass beat with a belt, and backhanded plenty of times. So anyone who thinks "spare the rod and spoil the child" - bullshit.

Now there are plenty of people who grew up under similar circumstances, and turned out just fine. So the real issue could go all the way back to genetics. Meaning I'm genetically predisposed to certain types of behavior. SJWs of course, try to claim this isn't true, and that every child is a blank slate. I think it's a complete fallacy. There is also further evidence these could be inherited traits. My dad had a brother who he said was "Just like me". Always getting into trouble, always getting his ass beat by his dad, and he ended up committing suicide at a young age. I also have cousins on my dad's side who suffer from a variety of mental illness.

I've since forgiven my parents. I had a talk with them years ago, and hearing from them, that was how they were both raised, and that's the only way they knew how to raise a kid.

First, I think you're deflecting by playing the victim. Classic psychopath. Hard to bullshit a bullshitter, you know.

Second, good patenting DOES involve discipline, but it needs to be on both sides - both the executor and recipient of punishment. The model for this is the rule of law. I don't punish my children for ANYTHING they do wrong prior to my forbidding of it; no ex post facto legislation. I don't invent punishment AFTER the infraction; I tell them prior to misbehavior precisely what will happen if they break the rules. In teaching discipline nothing is more important than the parent keeping their word and divorcing their own behavior from the whim of the moment. I cannot possibly imagine that being the case in the heat of a passionate belt-whipping session. Such brutality doesn't teach discipline, only power dynamics.

I have decided to stop derailing this thread.

On topic, I can't imagine anyone enjoying wearing a bra. Seems like a nuisance, like having to wear a necktie.
