Don't know - he was talking to a Psyche though who was helping him understand exactly why he functioned the way he did (both genetic and environmental contributors), and it seemed to help the Iceman make a few links (to the point of him saying "I appreciate you taking the time" etc)

Yea he is a real sick puppy. Kind of fassinating in a 'keep your guard up' kind of way

Was pretty bad. Saw the bit about how he tied people up and left them in a cave, and videotaped the rats eating them alive.

Yeah he was assessed as belonging to antisocial behaviour and paranoid behavior groups.
1% of the population have psychopathic tendences. Not all of them are bad, and are often in professions like CEO or Enforcement. Though 1% doesnt seam like much, just think of NZ's population thats 400000 people

Try 40,000

Another good line of work for people with psychopathic tendencies is racing - too much concern for your own and others safety will hold you back when the heat comes on.

Hospital doctors such as surgeons will benefit as well, being able to remain calm and rational when your patient is on the edge of passing away.

There are many situations where the complete lack of emotion will be a benefit to you.

The term pshycotic has been so 'used' that it has negative conotations to the average observer. A study was done on military personel and it was discovered that only those with a 'pshycotic mentallity' were actually able to pull the trigger. The same is said for the whole flight or fight response. Only those with a 'pshycotic tendancy' will willingly stand and fight even given the oppourtunity of flight. Its dosen't mean your a complete nutter....it just means that your 'slightly different' from what 'society' has judged to be 'the norm'. At the end of the day what society dictates as normal in one country can be quite different in another....culture wise...just take the arabs and the views they have of women.

I'm not surprised - biking is to some degree a display of indifference towards the risk of grevious bodily harm.

Also, I suspect that if you are built in such a way that you have a tendency to freeze and lock-up when you get a scare you'll quit biking pretty quickly... one way or the other.

Rant over.

The kids in schools should be reported. It's a ridiculous culture that many people are unaware of. Hopefully some parents take action, though I know many will encourage them to continue...

Hitler was nice to animals. One thing he got right.

Moments of near death get me thinking "whoa, that was awesome!".

First time racing at Manfeild, I crashed at a relatively high speed for a beginner on a 250. The leg on my leathers got torn open. I wrap some duct tape around it and go back out to receive a mild concussion in my next crash

Think I'm am borderline. But smart enough to bottle up my feelings.
