7. I just heard that Corporations are Psychopaths. Analyze their symptoms with this check-list:
Psychopathy is most strongly correlated with DSM-IV antisocial personality disorder.

Factor1: Personality "Aggressive narcissism"

* Glibness/superficial charm
* Grandiose sense of self-worth
* Pathological lying
* Cunning/manipulative
* Lack of remorse or guilt
* Shallow affect (genuine emotion is short-lived and egocentric)
* Callous/lack of empathy
* Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

Factor2: Case history "Socially deviant lifestyle".

* Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
* Parasitic lifestyle
* Poor behavioral control
* Lack of realistic long-term goals
* Impulsivity
* Irresponsibility
* Juvenile delinquency
* Early behavior problems
* Revocation of conditional release

Traits not correlated with either factor

* Promiscuous sexual behavior
* Many short-term marital relationships
* Criminal versatility
* Acquired behavioral sociopathy/sociological conditioning (a newly identified trait i.e. a person relying on sociological strategies and tricks to deceive)

" Acquired behavioural sociopathy/sociological conditioning (a newly identified trait i.e. a person relying on sociological strategies and tricks to deceive."


Bring out the straight-jackets, the meds and large syringes full of powerful sedatives!

5. They should be executed if their actions result in death for a real
person (or another corp?). If they commit lesser crimes they should be fined heavily for a number of years (prison). An execution could be a dissolution or equivalent. If they are protected as "people" then they must follow the same laws. Criminal, tax, moral, etc.......IMO
