I use full stops.

Effing b*****ds. I hate this, um, blah blah stuff.

Most people seem nastier and quicker to anger when online. It’s similar to the behaviour exhibited behind the wheel of a car in my view. Nothing like a bit of distance to bring out the psycho in us all. Isn’t that how they get airforce pilots to take out dozens of people in one foul swoop. Most wouldn’t find killing face to face all that handy.

People who mess up simple English get on my wick, being/been, they’re/their/there, you’re/your, looser/loser that sort of thing. All these people, including those who mangle metaphors, I saw one girl use the phrase to “Cut of your nose despite your face” today, those who make utterly facile comments “terrorism should be banned” or “they [Immigration] should stop people who look like terrorists” for instance, people who can’t identify deliberately ironic rants, all these people. They should all be put up against a wall and shot. So if twitter can help identify them so be it.

um.ah.I hate lamp!

Yes….most certainly.

Would be interesting to see how this test could apply to people in power and what the results are.

@Damocles. I think you should see your GP. You could be a psychopath.

Would be interesting to analyse the tweets of the Denver ‘Batman’ killer (if he had any). Ditto the Norwegian.

I see dead people.

Well said Brian and Shanti too. The epidemic of psychopaths within our societies, is too often overlooked. With well over one hundred thousand psychopaths within our midst, you would be forgiven for thinking, that something was being done to at least monitor them. You would be wrong, though. Nothing is done in this regard. According to professor John O’ Keefe, approximately two to three per cent of the Irish population are psychopaths. He also states, that roughly fifty per cent of the prison population are psychopaths. That means that two thousand of them are in jail. That also means, that well over one hundred thousand of them are not in jail. The frightening truth is, that the majority of psychopaths have learned to adapt to living within normal human societies. They have learned to mimic normal human behaviour and responses to such a degree, that we actually aspire to be like them in many cases. According to the experts in this field, they are an intra species predator, that is, a species within a species, designed to predate upon the existing species. This is not science fiction. This is a proven scientific fact. These predators are endemic within our societies. Whether you lean to the left, or the right wing of politics, they will be one step ahead of you. They will float, without conscience, from one to the other, as easily as a butterfly floats from tree, to tree. Unless we educate ourselves and our populations at large, to this greatest threat to mankind that has ever been known, then nothing will change.

Most twitter users are narcissists, not pyschos!

Agreed Michelle, but we can’t really blame the Journal. After all, it’s still an emerging science. Libel laws prevent the Journal from psychopaths being named without proof. They do however, allow us to broach the subject without censure. For that I am grateful. I’m glad that someone else realises the danger that they pose. Good wishes!

Its a ridiculous notion …and I intend hunting down and killing anyone who says otherwise….Now I must go and feed the hostages….take care and be safe.

you’ll find most psychopaths are well spoken and support unbelievable cruelty and mass murder around the world under the guise of democracy!
or what about the psychopath that the journal never reveals the lying politician that promises the world on his campaign trail and when elected forgets about those promises and actually work on feathering there own nests and those of the big bankers driving the working man to suicide because they are shafting him and his family into poverty, so this poll that you took is not only F KING ridiculous its insulting!

Blumah…

Umm………… I hate these f*cking atricles…………. What are you looking at?!!?>………………………….. Blah
