Paedophiles in Parliament

[Caroline]

According to the dictionary it is.

Psychopathy:  A person suffering from chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behaviour.

It's not considered an illness though, it's a state of mind, a way of thinking.

Does it matter what it is given the lack of evidence that Jeremy Bamber is a psychopath? I wonder why we're not discussing anything relating to the thread title?

There’s plenty of evidence of the former and none whatsoever for the latter so perhaps that’s why.

Anecdotal evidence by unqualified people is not a diagnosis.

I’m not pretending to be qualified or even offering a diagnosis, only an opinion.  Of course Bamber WAS labelled a psychopath by a psychiatrist in his own defence team but you would prefer to ignore that.  what a surprise. 

[Caroline]

Anecdotal evidence by unqualified people is not a diagnosis.

He was classified as a psychopath by a qualified psychiatrist pre-trial. A psychiatrist hired by his own defence team.

Allegedly.

Allegedly.

There is nothing allegedly about it.

Well G-unit, going through yesterday's posts from this distance, I'd say that your own posts are, in part, responsible for NOT discussing anything else.

It seems to me, reading you, you've taken up a particularly childish attitude in beating the "no evidence" drum -a stubborn refusal to even concede the possibility, despite all the numerous pointers to it, that he's been labelled as psychopathic shows a lack of critical thinking- which is strange if one considers that there's not a shred of evidence -save a convenient, but adequately medicated condition, which points to Sheila, yet you cling determinedly to her having been responsible.

Rant over. Enjoy the VE celebrations.

Indeed G-Unit challenges the belief that Bamber is a psychopath, but there is no record of her anywhere on this thread challenging the belief that Nevill was killed because of what he knew about paedophiles in Westminster.  It was her initial challenge which took the thread off topic and then she has the cheek to ask why we’re not all discussing it.

If you look back you'll find it wasn't me who took the thread off topic; I responded to the person who did that.

I didn't comment on AA's theory because I had nothing to say. I don't have enough knowledge of Nevill Bamber's life or business practices to comment. All I've seen is a suggestion that he wasn't universally loved and respected, which is not surprising considering that he was a successful businessman and a JP.

And you were eager to perpetuate the discussion on psychopathy, instead of trying to get the thread back on topic.  Do you consider yourself sufficiently knowledgeable on Jeremy Bamber’s life to state with confidence that he is not a psychopath?

I'm as knowledgeable on his life as you are. Taking all the bad things people have said about him he could be a psychopath. A lot of those things, however, were said by people with a motive to paint him in the worst possible light in my opinion.

So you would agree then that based in the many independent descriptions of Bamber’s actions and behaviours and assuming that he is indeed guilty of the actions for which he was imprisoned that Bamber does tick many if not all the boxes of of a psychopath?

I have never denied the possibility. A possibility isn't a fact, however, and some people are behaving as if it is. I would like to see it acknowleged as an opinion, which you seem to have confirmed is your view.
