Quote:Moral compass? Jacked up? Broken? Are these medical terms or legal definitions we should now be using?

 

Do you really think someone who walks into a theater and kills 12 people is just kind of lost or broken? How about insane. Why is it so hard for some people to use that word. What is it that frightens people so?

I guess you skipped the definition of sociopath I left there. As someone else pointed out, a sociopath doesn't have to be insane for the heinous crime to be committed, and the reverse is true as well. While there are truly insane folks who commit crimes the reality is that there are many who are simply sociopathic.


Why is it so hard for you to get that?


As for the terms I used, they are also a fact of human nature regardless of their technical use. I was one of those broken ones for awhile. Thankfully I still had a moral compass. I just made really poor personal choices.
