JUST MAKES NO SENSE... And don't even realize it!

Take a deep look into the world around you.  I mean really look... Don't just glance and briefly observe the people, places and things that surround you day to day.  I have been doing just that the past month with a purpose.  It's one thing to just accept the state that this country finds itself in but it's entirely another to attempt to understand why it is the way it is.  My observations are as follows: 
1.  People that don't have any appreciable means of income, those that are unemployed by choice sit around all day on Facebook and post ridiculous delusions and fantasies by means of a computer or their smartphone. The fact that they do so is not the issue... The issue is that they have the tools to do so while some who are out of work due to layoffs or other reasons that are no fault of their own struggle to find a job to simply keep a roof over their head and food on the table.  Why is that?  Those who choose to not work have made it their job to live off the system.  They know how to play, milk and make permanent the aid designed to be temporary.  A person who works and has health insurance is responsible for anywhere from $250 to $500 for a visit to an emergency room while the "leech" uses the emergency room as a clinic and thanks to the public assistance given to them pays zero.  They are rewarded for not working.  It's to the point that in many instances it is more profitable to not work.  
2.  People with mental illness have fallen through the cracks (many have found how to take advantage of the system by petitioning for and receiving disability checks every month) and do not seek or continue treatment.  Once they get the lifetime benefit they will not follow the treatment plan that was established and maintained while seeking disability.  So what do they do??? They don't take the medication prescribed instead opting for beer, whiskey, wine, marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, etc.  anything and everything that exacerbates their condition. During which time they cycle between depression (many times ending up in the ER following an accidental overdose or suicide attempt) and mania (what's one to expect when introducing a stimulant??  This finds them being destructive- driving while under the influence, fighting, stealing, etc that finds them arrested and incarcerated).  Both cost the system (aka: tax payer dollars).  Oh and they sit on Facebook all day typing out their delusion and fantasies.  
3.  Politicians are self-centered and clueless (highly functioning mental illness).  They do and say whatever it takes to exploit the system (voters) to give them a job and then they waste millions of dollars and tell billions of lies to make sure they continue to take advantage of the system (job paid through tax payer dollars).
4.  Millions of people from other countries come into this country illegally because the welfare system in America provides a far better living than they could obtain through working in their country of citizenship.  They take the jobs that the Americans referenced above (1 and 2) could do but choose not to.  Many times the jobs pay in cash (the employer not paying into the tax system and the employee not paying into the system) and they send most of their earned money to family in their home country thus taking it out of the U.S. economy.  While doing this they get a fake ID and exploit the public assistance afforded to citizens of this country. I am not racist and have no problem with people coming to this country to make a better life LEGALLY.  Work, pay taxes and if need help then so be it.  I cannot respect anyone who looks to take shortcuts or cheats the system.  
The above is just the tip of the iceberg.  It frustrates me that those who want to work and not rely on charity struggle and those who could care less about making their own way live well.  It just makes no sense.... And most get so caught up in their day to day struggles that they don't even realize it.  It's shameful!!!

Projecting and Masquerading.....


A very common description of sociopathic behavior is the inability to connect, especially to people. There may seem like a connection, but there is no bond. Sociopaths often neglect or abandon their families, including their children.  They resent authority, because they believe they should be able to do anything they like, any time they like. They hate being told what to do, and will only cooperate if it furthers their personal plans.  The sociopath will only do for others if their actions benefit them in their plans or affirms a determined opinion or belief they hold.  They will use their action to attempt to establish a similar belief in others and at the same time use it as a cloak to hide their true nature.  Below is exactly one of those attempts.  It is my opinion that the author of the FB rant below is obviously attempting to re-affirm his belief that "the police" are evil and have no regard for people.  Also It is obvious he is saying, "Look at me.. Look what I did... Pat me on the back.... I am such a great person."  So we can see a couple of hidden agendas in this post: 
(copied and pasted directly from FB... Spelling and grammer issues are as authored)
"today i was out and about and when came back outside of the location that i was at. the car next to mine was being towed and a man and his two children were being left there by the police.  turns out that his tags had expired and they were going to take the car and leave him and his children stranded there. it was over twenty miles out of my way but i gave them a ride home.  this is just one more reason that i say fuck the police.
 yesterday i was getting my car inspected and a homeless man came to business location with a duffel bag on his back a small dog that looked like a starving benji and a orange safty vest on. he begain yelling that the fbi had put a gps device in his head. skizo without a doubt. i called the police due to his mindset and that he may become vilolent, you never know what a person with a gps device in their head might do.  so i called the police took twenty minutes to get there. when they did the officer said that they had been having alot of problems with him latley.  i on the other hand see that we are having quite alot of problems with the police. the man is out of his mind. they have been having alot of problems with him, yet they can not seem to get the picture that the man needs medical care. though it may be against his will since they put a gps unit in his head. anyone could see that he needs help but they told him to leave and he did. the police came over and appoligized to us for the mans actions, though they sould have done so for theirs.  just one more reason that i say fuck the police.

Let me say this, I am not a fan of many of the policies and procedures of law enforcement.  I know that the police have a job to do and as residents in this country we are expected to be aware of the established laws.  We all have a duty and obligation to do everything in our power to follow those established laws and if we fail to do so then we are aware that consequences do exist and should be prepared to accept them.  Afterall for whatever reason we chose to disobey the regulation.  Now as related to the above post, The police are not a taxi service.  This man chose to allow his tags to expire.  Maybe he couldn't afford to pay the taxes or insurance to have them renewed which is becoming more and more frequent in this economy.  Maybe he just forgot which does happen.  In any case, he had to know his tags were expired and operating that vehicle was AGAINST THE LAW but he voluntarily chose to break the law and the authorities had every right to ensure that the vehicle wasnt going to be used further to continue to break the law by towing it until such time as 'the man" had taken care of his obligation to maintain the vehicle appropriately.  Also, insurance will not cover an accident once they are made aware the registration was expired so the police were doing their job which is to protect the public from hazards.  It is not like it is the dead of winter with 30 below zero windchill and the police were leaving the man and his children to extreme elements which was life threatening.  I am sure that he had family and/or friends that he could have contacted to come and provide transportation.  So the author used this situation to demonize the police to re-affirm his hatred of authority (as most sociopaths) because of his history of experiencing consequences of BREAKING THE LAW.
I preface the examination of the 2nd half of his attempt to justify his beliefs with this: Psychiatric care is severely lacking in this country.  A large percentage of the population is suffering and the number of care providers is dwindling thus making a bad problem worse.  "GPS man" truely suffers a severe mental illness that has obviously made it impossible for him to lead a normal and productive life.  It is a tragedy.  I am surprised however that the author would use this as an instance to lash out at police being that with his personal psychiatric history he should be very much aware that in order to receive psychiatric assistance one has to voluntarily seek said services or either be a danger to oneself or others leading to involuntary committment.  It is not a crime to be delusional as "GPS man" appeared to be.  It is sad but does not make him a threat.  When someone is "agitated" and delusional, many times it as simple as speaking calmly with them to alleviate their fear.  Many are just looking for someone to talk with... Someone to listen.  The police in this situation did all they could and sounds as though their speaking with him achieved the desired response... "GPS man" went about his way.  The policeman even "apologized" to the citizens for "GPS man's" behaviour which he was not obligated to do.  It is obvious that the author's disdain for authority due to his sociopathic nature clouds every situation where law enforcement is involved.  It is a shame that the author's mind is do dysfunctional that he has developed such hatred simply because he has had to experience the consequences of his criminal activities. 
 I for one applaud and am thankful for the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect and serve.  Of course though, Im in my "right mind" and do my best to obey the laws of man.

NO BLAME....NO SHAME

Sociopaths have antisocial personality disorder, which is a chronic mental illness that affects your everyday thoughts, behaviors and relationships. Sociopaths may violate the law and the rights of others, while having little regard for right and wrong and lack of remorse for their senseless acts of crime. If, after reading this list of sociopathic personality disorder signs, you think you may be dealing with a sociopath, you should encourage your friend or loved one to seek professional medical help.

Persistent Lying or Deceit
If a person repeatedly lies, uses aliases or cons people for personal enjoyment and gain, while feeling no remorse when caught, you could be dealing with a sociopath. Sociopaths are very believable liars and rarely tell the truth. They aren’t concerned with doing the right thing, therefore making it easier for them to deceive people and get their way by lying.

Lack of Remorse, Guilt or Empathy
Sociopaths don’t experience much remorse or guilt for their behaviors, nor do they have empathy for others’ feelings. They may be engaged in violent acts, such as child abuse and abusive relationships, but not take responsibility for their actions or accept blame.

INCAPACITY FOR LOVE
Because sociopaths are making more enemies than friends, they don’t give or receive love easily. Family members, friends and coworkers may distance themselves from sociopaths because of their repeated lying, deceit and neglect that has damaged their relationship. Sociopaths may also have trouble making and keeping friends because they put themselves above others and aren’t concerned with their feelings.

IRRESPONSIBLE
Sociopaths are generally irresponsible and unreliable individuals, who seem to be oblivious to the harm or disappointment they cause others. They are quick to lie and blame others for acts they clearly committed, and do not accept blame or apologize when they are wrong.

IMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR
Promiscuity, infidelity, alcohol and drug abuse and gambling are just a few of the behaviors exhibited by sociopaths. Their lack of accountability and disregard for safety makes it easier for sociopaths to engage in dangerous or impulsive behavior that could be damaging to themselves or others.

JUVENILE DELIQUENCY
Juvenile delinquency, such as stealing, animal cruelty and aggression are some common attributes of a young sociopath. Sociopaths think they are above the law and rules that everyone must abide by, therefore, a life of rule breaking and illegal acts starts at a young age.

GRANDIOSE SENSE OF SELF/ARROGANCE
Sociopaths are convinced they are above everyone else and they are entitled to certain things no one else gets. Because of this mindset, sociopaths may be engaged in illegal activities and have reoccurring difficulties with the law. Sociopaths are delusional and feel as if they deserve a free pass in every situation.

MANIPULATIVE
In addition to pathological lying, sociopaths will manipulate strangers and people close to them in order to get what they want. They often use charm and wit to manipulate people, who could become a victim or enabler.

AGGRESSIVE OR VIOLENT BEHAVIOR
Sociopaths tend to be aggressive and violent in their day to day behavior. They may commit senseless crimes, abuse a loved one or neglect a child in an effort to release anger or show dominance.

AGITATED
Sociopaths are easily agitated by the smallest things and have no patience for boredom. Whether it’s being on time to work, following the law or not violating the rights of others, sociopaths have a difficult time doing as they are told.

Sociopaths generally have a legal history, insist they are never at fault, are either unemployed or have a resume of many jobs "that didn't work out", have little to no interaction with family, have few friends, and have experienced two or more hospitalizations for psychiatric care.
