United States News Title: This Place is ‘far more psychopathic’ than any State in the country By Connecticut has more psychopaths than any other state — but Washington D.C. is “by far” the most psychopathic place in the nation, according to a new study. The Nutmeg State has the highest percentage of people with psychopathic personality traits, including disinhibition, boldness and meanness, according to a study by Dr. Ryan Murphy at Southern Methodist University in Texas. And the Northeast had more psychos than the rest of the country, according to the study, with New Jersey ranking in third, New York fourth (tied with Wyoming) and Maine also coming in the top 10. California, home to Hollywood – and the Golden State Killer – came in second. But when Washington D.C. — technically a federal district — was thrown in the mix, it came out on top. “The District of Columbia is measured to be far more psychopathic than any individual state in the country, a fact that can be readily explained either by its very high population density or by the type of person who may be drawn to a literal seat of power,” Murphy wrote. “The presence of psychopaths in the District of Columbia is consistent with the conjecture that psychopaths are likely to be effective in the political sphere,” he added. But Murphy said D.C. could simply be an outlier, because it is less geographically diverse than the states in the study. To come up with his ranking, Murphy built off a 2013 survey that looked at the levels of the “Big Five” personality traits – extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience – in 48 states and D.C.,based on a sample of 1.6 million people. He then used a forthcoming paper that showed how psychopathic characteristics are translated into the “Big Five.” For example, the characteristic of meanness exhibited in psychopaths, would correspond to low agreeableness. This finding allowed Murphy to translate the personality analysis into a score for psychopathy. The study, which hasn’t yet been peer-reviewed, was published on Social Science Research Network. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Isn't this the state you are from? You are constantly calling for killing Russians. It's sick. How many Russians do you personally know? You are supposed to be Christian. Aren't you supposed to love your enemies? I do not hate Russians. I do not call for their deaths.
#2. To: 3-Dee (#1) Yes, I live in Connecticut. And yes, I am a psychopath. As long as Russians are invading Ukraine, they need to die. If they stop, they can stop dying. Simple. Sane.
#3. To: Vicomte13 (#2) Yes, I live in Connecticut. And yes, I am a psychopath. At least you admit it. There may be some hope for you yet.....Wondering..
#4. To: Vicomte13 (#2) Sane. Somehow, pyschopathic and sane just don't seem to mesh together.
#5. To: 3-Dee (#3) It's really quite simple: Russians have no right to be in the Ukraine. They have invaded and are mass killing the people trying to get their way. They will not get their way. Instead, they will die, and die, and die, until the survivors realize that they have lost, admit it, and leave. Or they will keep dying until eternity. There are 44 million Ukrainians and unlimited dollars and arms from the West. Russians are fools to have tried to take what was not theirs. And they are stupid beasts such that, even in clear and abject defeat, they refuse to admit it and leave. They must, therefore, die as long as they are hellbent on getting their way. They cannot, ever, get their way. The choice to die is theirs: they can accept defeat, leave and live. Or they can proudly die, by the thousands, every day until they do. There is no universe in which they get to win and live. Lose and die if they fight. Lose and live if they retreat. If they were smart, they would retreat and accept defeat. But they're Russians, so they have to die instead. Fools.
#6. To: Vicomte13 (#5) There are 44 million Ukrainians and unlimited dollars and arms from the West. America is $30 Trillion in debt and counting. The Ukraine has quite a few billionaires-let them finance their own wars. Zelensky, by some accounts, is a billionaire and some say a millionaire. Let him pay for his own war or other European allies. We need to look out for our own people.
#7. To: Vicomte13 (#2) As long as Russians are invading Ukraine, they need to die. If they stop, they can stop dying. Simple. Sane. Mexico has been invading the U.S. for decades. Do you think the same about them?
#8. To: 3-Dee (#7) (Edited) Mexico is not invading the USA with tanks and artillery. If it were, yes.
#9. To: 3-Dee (#6) America is $30 Trillion in debt and counting. The Ukraine has quite a few billionaires-let them finance their own wars. Zelensky, by some accounts, is a billionaire and some say a millionaire. Let him pay for his own war or other European allies. Spot on!
