Just rude - must be a trend

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I'm not sure where you're getting some of your definitions from there, potty. Either way, here's a really good read from Psychology Today on the distinctions and similarities between sociopathy and psychopathy - http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/wic ... psychopath

Many forensic psychologists and criminologists use the terms sociopathy and psychopathy interchangeably. Leading experts disagree on whether there are meaningful differences between the two conditions.
thats the intro of your posted link.

the author of your article believes, there are some differences.

i have read it.

he comes up with an unusual description of what sociopathy is.

its an article about his view point, which is unusal, as he admits in the first two sentences.

'Socio' and 'psycho' have two completely different meanings.

I've got a feeling potty is right on the ball here. :thumb:

Yeah, they do - and here's a different sort of article exploring those differences, admittedly not from as esteemed a perspective:

Here's more of a clinical perspective on the differences from a forensic specialist:
