Libraries in FLA...

Hey, I have a question, if our beloved "friend" on here is in an area that is soooo devastated by the hurricanes, and 1.5 million people are without power, how could the library in her/his hometown have power? And don't you think if it did have power with back up generators, it would be used as a shelter facility, not for people to go online to use message boards. Or if the colleges/high schools/schools are open, they would be reserved for the kids to use? And how come this person keeps abondoning their family/friends to keep going to the library to barage us with their nonsense dribble?

Just a thought...

Now why didnt I think of that. As soon as I read the title, I knew what you were gonna say.

So before its said....if the libraries are allowing people to email their families then you still shouldnt be posting here. So get off that computer and allow someone else to use it for what its meant for and not harrassing us!

>do have to worry about the mentality of the original poster, and yourself as well, to pick on some unfortunate person who doesn't have power.<

I was not picking on that person, I was just asking a question or merely making an observation.

>As to the original poster's incredibly nasty post (and she has even you trumped there!), people have to live and I don't know where that poster gets off accusing someone of neglecting her family by "daring" to come to a library and use a computer for her own purposes for a little while<

IN MY OPINION, in the state in which FLA is in and how devestated the area is in and with what people have lost, I DO think that it's incredibly neglectful for someone to go to a library to post on some random weight loss site. Posting on this site is in no way helping her/his family/friends pick their lives up.

>You know, it seems the fatter you get the more inhuman you become.<

I've never seen your screen name before, there was one similar to it a while ago, so who the hell are you? How would you know or assume I'm fat/overweight? How do you NOT KNOW if I've lost 150lbs already? Why would you make assumptions like that?

>To your posting that you wanted Forte to "pull the plug" and let her premature baby grand-daughter die, to Shawna saying that my sister would be "better off dead" than to have a sister like me.<

In the long time I have been posting here, I HAVE NEVER seen where Shawna or anyone else has uttered those words to Forte or anyone else. I'd love for you to copy those posts and post them to show us all those exact words. As a matter of fact, I've done an archive search for those and they don't exist.

>of course, NORMAL people can weigh on normal scales to. So if that's your problem, fatty, get over it and take charge of your paltry life and stop your foolishness.<

If you consider yourself normal and which means you are not overweight, why are you here posting on a 100+ weight loss board?

These are just some of my questions back to you. And you know what? I can understand how the rest of everyone here gets so angry and fed up. But guess what, it doesn't bother me a bit. Any post you make or anything you say does not anger me. It actually fires me up, I love confrontation. I laugh at it, I laugh at you and your pitiful life you must have.

I'm sorry for you...

I guess you are still at the library? No, it is you who are sick. Anyone who comes to a chat board and calls people names and tries to start arguments

Profile of a sociopath:


Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them

Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them

Authoritarian

Secretive

Paranoid

Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired

Conventional appearance

Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)

Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life

Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)

Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim

Incapable of real human attachment to another

Unable to feel remorse or guilt

Extreme narcissism and grandiose

May state readily that their goal is to rule the world



As well as:

Glibness/Superficial Charm-

Language can be used without effort by them to confuse and convince their audience. Captivating storytellers that exude self-confidence, they can spin a web that intrigues others. Since they are persuasive, they have the capacity to destroy their critics verbally or emotionally.



Manipulative and Conning-

They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They dominate and humiliate their victims.



Grandiose Sense of Self-

Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." Craves adulation and attendance. Must be the center of attention with their own fantasies as the "spokesman for God," "enlightened," "leader of humankind," etc. Creates an us-versus-them mentality



Pathological Lying-

Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and able to pass lie detector tests.



Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt-

A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.



Shallow Emotions-

When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion, it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.



Incapacity for Love-

While they talk about "God's love" they are unable to give or receive it. Since they do not believe in the genuineness of their followers' love, they are very harsh in testing it from their devotees and expect them to feel guilt for their failings. Expects unconditional surrender.



Need for Stimulation-

Living on the edge, yet testing the beliefs of their followers with bizarre rules, punishments and behaviors. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal.



Callousness/Lack of Empathy-

Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. Their skills are used to exploit, abuse and exert power. Since the follower cannot believe their leader would callously hurt them, they rationalize the behavior as necessary for their (or the group's) own "good" and deny the abuse. When devotees become aware of the exploitation it feels like a "spiritual rape" to them.



Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature-

Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others. The followers only see them as near perfect.



Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency-

Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.



Irresponsibility/Unreliability-

Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blame their followers or others outside their group. Blame reinforces passivity and obedience and produces guilt, shame, terror and conformity in the followers.



Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity-

Totalist leaders frequently practice promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts. This is usually kept hidden from all but the inner circle. Stringent sexual control of their followers, such as forced breakups and divorces, removal of children from parents, rules for dating, etc.



Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle-

Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future. Many groups claim as their goal world-domination or other utopian promises. Great contrast between the leader's opulent lifestyle and the followers' impoverishment. Support by gifts and donations from the followers who are pressured to give through fear and guilt. Highly sensitive to their own pain and health.



Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility-

Changes their image and that of the group as needed to avoid prosecution and to increase income and to recruit a range of members. Is able to adapt or relocate as needed to preserve the group. Can resurface later with a new name, a new front group and a new twist on the scam.
