FEATURE ARTICLES. THE SOCIOPATH- A DANGER ALL AROUND US. PT 13.

Basically, the FUNCTIONAL SOCIOPATH achieves success in short term relationships.  They know what their Personal Wants, Desires and Needs are, and what must be done to realize these goals.

Each person they encounter will be evaluated by the role they can play in helping the Functional Sociopath acquire whatever they want;

1)  Is this individual likely to remain a casual acquaintance at best, so little time will be spent cultivating a personal relationship.  All interaction

will be superficial at most.

2)  Will they help satisfy a need that must be met, so attempting to establish a "Friendship" would be worth a certain amount of time and effort.

3)  Can this be the rare person(s) who will fulfill multiple roles in the life of a Functioning Sociopath, and must be drawn into the web of lies and deceit at all costs.

In the first two examples the skill of the Functioning Sociopath is able to bring in or cast aside these individuals with little effort.  Many people that they claim as "Friends," are simply tools to use on a short term basis.  They will satisfy specific and usually short term needs.  Once this is done, they will be suddenly dumped or cast aside by the Functional Sociopath. 

Why? Because there are always more like them living in society, so the Functional Sociopath jettisons these friends with little thought or remorse.

This is the flaw in the personality of the Functional Sociopath.  Going through friends is a constant theme in their lives.  To often, once the short term goal is reached, the Functional Sociopath casts aside persons who may have, down the road, again become a valuable asset.  This results in few, if any, lifelong relationships.

In the third example, we have the Functional Sociopath attempting to evaluate the individual in terms of long term worth or value. They often lack the discipline to do this, so their lives are in constant chaos.  This is what sets them apart from the ACCOMPLISHED SOCIOPATH.  They quite simply cannot contain their true nature for any great length of time, when dealing with specific individuals.

So what does this say about the FAILED SOCIOPATH?

WORTHWHILE OR WORTHLESS- A CONSUMER GUIDE TO AVOIDING SCAMS AND SCOUNDRELS. INSURANCE- ONE OF LIFES UNGLAMOROUS NECESSITIES. PT 3.

In the Second Case, We have an example of a Life Insurance Policy Benefit not being Paid Out on a Man Killed while Kayaking.

The Reason?  River Kayaking was a Dangerous Activity, and the Insurance Company said it was something that should have been included on the Policy Application.  If They had known about it, the Policy would not have been Issued, or the Premiums Would have been Much Higher.

The Decision?  The Insurance Company was required to Pay Out the Death Benefit.

Why?  There was no Deception by the Insured.  The Answers on the Application had been Truthful.  If Kayaking was that much of a Concern to the Insurance Company, it should have been asked on the Form, or at least anything that May be Associated with Camping and Other Comparable Outdoor Activities.

The Company had no Right to Retroactively Add a Prohibited or Restricted Activity to the Application.  This would Leave Open a Multitude of Possible Reasons for Refusing to Pay Off on a Claim.  Further, the Insured is Under No Obligation to Inquire about Specific Actions, as to whether or not they are covered by the Policy,

as long as They Answer Any and All Questions Truthfully.

Well, now that we have a Basic Introduction to Life Insurance, let us look at some Basic Terminology that all of us may come across when Purchasing Different Types of Insurance.

THESE WILL INCLUDE:

-  LIABILITY INSURANCE.

-  ACCIDENT INSURANCE VS REGULAR HEALTH INSURANCE.

-  WHOLE LIFE VS TERM INSURANCE.

-  HOMEOWNERS AND MORTGAGE INSURANCE.

... plus the Impact of State Regulatory Agencies on the Industry.

WORTHWHILE OR WORTHLESS- A CONSUMER GUIDE TO AVOIDING SCAMS AND SCOUNDRELS. MORE HEALTH SCAMS- WATCH OUT FOR THE SIGNS OF BAD SCIENCE, AND FRAUD. PT 5.

Question-  If You, and a Friend or Co-Worker etc., came up with, or Invented a new Dietary Supplement that caused Immediate Weight Loss, or Increased Lean Muscle Mass, what would you do with this New Miracle Product?

Since Dietary Supplements are not considered Drugs, in that They can be Sold and Taken without a Prescription, the FDA Still Requires that All Ingredients be Listed for the Consumer, and that They are Safe to be Used in a Manner Directed by the Manufacturer.

HOWEVER, SAFETY DOES NOT EQUAL EFFECTIVENESS.

Any Claims made by the Manufacturer about the Benefits of Taking such a Supplement, must be backed up with Proper Clinical Testing that can be Duplicated and Verified.  Now, if those procedures are followed, it may take several years.  HOWEVER, IN THE END, YOU ARE LEFT WITH A PRODUCT YOU CAN SAFELY AND LEGALLY ENDORSE AS EFFECTIVE.  THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE "THIS PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN..." STATEMENTS PLACED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ADVERTISEMENT.  You have a Product that the Medical Community and Government Regulators agree DOES WHAT YOU CLAIM.

So why don't They do it?  Time, Money, and Gullibility.

TIME-  Drugs, such as Vaccines, are Tested for a number of YEARS Because of Their Clinical Affect on the Body.  These Tests look for Long and Short Term Side Affects, as well as its Primary Purpose, be it PREVENTIVE OR CURATIVE.

However, DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS do not affect the Body in the same way. The INGREDIENTS will not CURE OR PREVENT ANYTHING, BECAUSE BY THEIR VERY CHEMICAL NATURE, THEY CAN'T. So, why are They are placed on the MARKET QUICKLY, WITH LITTLE TESTING DONE?

We'll look at this in the Next Segment.

FEATURE ARTICLES. IGNORING THE TRUTH ABOUT TERRORISM. A KEY TO GETTING ELECTED? PT 2.

TERRORISM may take different forms, and the Goals may Differ Greatly from Group to Group, but the STRATEGY AND THE TACTICS ALL FOLLOW A SIMILAR PATTERN:

-  GOVERNMENT(S) , EITHER THROUGH THE COURTS, BALLOT BOX, OR TREATY, WILL NOT ENACT OR ENFORCE THE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES A PARTICULAR GROUP BELIEVES ARE NECESSARY TO FULFILL THEIR DESIRE TO LIVE AND WORK IN A SOCIETY THAT OBEYS AND ENFORCES A PARTICULAR DOCTRINE OF MORALITY, FAITH, OR BEHAVIOR THAT MEETS WITH THEIR APPROVAL.  

-  TERRORISM Is Quite Simply The Implementation of a Certain PLAN OF ACTION THAT WILL FRIGHTEN OR INTIMIDATE A TARGET POPULATION INTO FORCING THE GOVERNMENT OR RULING AUTHORITIES INTO ACCEDING TO THE DEMANDS OF THE GROUP IN QUESTION.

-  Even if this attempt to Threaten or Force The CIVIL AUTHORITIES TO GIVE IN TO THE DEMANDS OF THE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION FAILS, THE PEOPLE IN THE TARGET ZONE MAY CHOOSE TO OBEY THE INSTRUCTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS SET BY THE TERRORISTS, FEELING THAT THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT PROTECT THEM.

From the Above Information, we can Learn Important Lessons that tell us why we should not Listen to, Elect, or take Advice From Candidates for Political Office who either Don't Understand the TERRORIST MINDSET, OR QUITE SIMPLY DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH TO INVESTIGATE THE REALITY BEHIND THE ACTS OF VIOLENCE THAT TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS COMMIT.

To say the U.S. should concentrate on Destroying One Type of Terrorist, BE IT FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC, MOTIVATED BY RELIGIOUS OR NATIONALISTIC FANATICISM, OR THE PRODUCT OF JINGOISM AND RACISM, IS SHORT - SIGHTED AND FOOLISH AT BEST, BECAUSE:

IT IGNORES THE ONE TRUE GOAL THAT ALL TERRORIST GROUPS HAVE:

TO CONTROL GOVERNMENT, THE LEGAL SYSTEM, RELIGION etc. TO MAKE THEIR DESIRES, GOALS, ETHICS, AND BELIEFS AS THE SOLE DETERMINATION OF WHAT WOULD BE PERMISSIBLE OR PUNISHABLE IN A GIVEN STATE, COUNTRY OR SOCIETY,  BINDING ON ALL CITIZENS AND INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITHIN ITS BORDERS.
