The biggest problem with sociopaths is they are typically well liked because they learn at an early age how to manipulate people.

And your point is? If someone is within their right to do something and it bothers you, it is YOUR problem not theirs. You talk of entitlement, take a look in the mirror.

Good information for some lot owners to understand.

As is, you don't own the land up to the street in front of or behind your house.

1) Yesterday I was getting off the golf cart bridge over the turnpike on the Meggison side of the bridge. When I entered the golf cart roundabout there was a woman walking in the middle of the path taking her time while taking pictures. This was impeding the flow of traffic on the roundabout. Some were beeping their horns and she looked back not caring.

2) There is a guy in Hawkins that walks his dog daily around a pond where houses are . Most of these houses are occupied. I happen to be in my yard one day and asked him why he felt walking there was his choice over walking around the preserve less then a 1/4 of a mile away. He said because he wants to.

You aren’t the person who told the golf ambassador, “I don’t have to rake the traps, I live in Bridgeport, are you?

I love these people complaining that this guy is just complaining. Stop ragging on the guy and move on. Sheesh.

When his dog gets eaten by an alligator, you won’t have to worry about it anymore. A couple of days ago there was a (about) 8-9 foot Aligator sunning himself next to the pond by the postal station in Hawkins.

On a cruise ship now. I agree that there may actually be a concentration of entitled sociopaths on it. (And no I am not one of them -cause my wife told me so)

Some data on the posting that 5% of the population are Sociopaths. Actually there is a book written by Martha Stout, ph.d who studied Sociopaths and Psychopaths for over 25 years at Harvard and her conclusion is that 1 in 25 are Sociopaths. Her book is titled "The Sociopath Next Door" and it is great reading. The definition being that 1 in 25 ordinary Americans secretly has no conscience and can do anything at all without feeling guilty. Given this as a base line it would estimate that if the Villages has approximately 130,000 residents then it has approximately 520 Sociopaths walking among us. One way it was suggested to determine a "Sociopath/Psychopath is they mostly start with believing they are classic "Victim's". This does not mean all who think of themselves as victim's are Sociopaths or Psychopaths but it is a potential indicator. Given the cases where someone actually experiences a situation where they feel they
have been offended by anothers act and someone feels that person has no right to complain and who considers themselves the true victim for being exposed to a valid complaint? Who is the potential "Sociopath". As an aside I understand there is little difference in a Sociopath and Psychopath other than the cause definition??

[NotGolfer]

Are sociopaths and narcissists the same thing??

"Live and Let Live".

I will also add resentment over what someone else does "is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." Think about it!

Wow we have taken over 25 cruises and the vast majority of the passengers are well mannered and behaved.
