Thought for a Sunday

Smart girls don't dance with sociopaths.

Nothing to do with your thought but your blog keeps breaking my browser. Must be a bit of dodgy code there somewhere. Perhaps one of your trinkets.

Did someone else complain about this a few weeks ago? Was it your old MSN Space it was happening on?

Back to your thought...

I picked this up googling. Apparently sociopaths can display 10 main symptoms.

Antisocial Personality Disorder is chronic, beginning in adolescence
and continuing throughout adulthood. There are ten general
symptoms:

not learning from experience
no sense of responsibility
inability to form meaningful relationships
inability to control impulses
lack of moral sense
chronically antisocial behavior
no change in behavior after punishment
emotional immaturity
lack of guilt
self-centeredness



People with this disorder may exhibit criminal behavior. They may
not work. If they do work, they are frequently absent or may quit
suddenly. They do not consider other people's wishes, welfare or
rights. They can be manipulative and may lie to gain personal
pleasure or profit. They may default on loans, fail to provide child
support, or fail to care for their dependents adequately. High risk
sexual behavior and substance abuse are common. Impulsiveness,
failure to plan ahead, aggressiveness, irritability, irresponsibility,
and a reckless disregard for their own safety and the safety of
others are traits of the antisocial personality.


I can tick 7 of them boxes. No dancing lessons for me then.

Well, hell, Monty, I guess I'd better lead. ;)

As far as your browser crashing...any suggestions? I was ALWAYS hearing that in reference to my MSN Space, and one person mentioned it about this blog, but hasn't had trouble since, so I'm not sure if it happens to lots of people or not. Perhaps I need a magic penis.

I'm thinking it must be the weather pixie. You had that on your old Space too. And another Space I drop in on has it, it causes my browser to become non-responsive too.

Quindigo said...

Actually, I didn't have it on my old Space, but it's worth a shot, Monty. Let me know if it works better, 'k?

As for me? I'll just have to look out the window to find out the weather, dammit. ;)

You can put the pixie back up, must be something else.

p.s. actually the pixie was just pissing me off always saying 90 degrees.

I won't be dancing either.

I haven't had problems with your blogger site, Spaces is another animal, several problems over numerous sites ... talk about bug ridden. Ack.

Monty: Dammit...here I am dressed in a coat and mittens, looking for an umbrella - all because of you! (I'm wondering if it could be the archive thingy I snagged from Sarah...or one of the stat counters).

Stephen: Ain't that the truth! Leaving Spaces was one of the smarter things I've ever done. It's pure shite now! (I'm putting on British airs, 'cause it looks classier) ;)
