Below are seven diagnostic criteria that are used to diagnose antisocial (a.k.a. sociopathic or psychopathic) personality disorder in humans (be mindful that only three of the seven are needed for a positive diagnosis):
1) callous disregard for the feelings of other people
2) the incapacity to maintain human relationships
3) reckless disregard for the safety of others
4) aggressiveness
5) deceitfulness (repeated lying and conning others for profit)
6) incapacity to experience guilt and
7) the failure to conform to social norms and respect for the law.
Other common traits manifested by sociopaths include:
- Lack of conscience
- Lack of remorse for evils done to others
- Indifference to the suffering of its victims
- Rationalizes (makes excuses for) having hurt, mistreated or stolen from others
- Willingness to exploit, seduce or manipulate others
- No sign of delusional or irrational thinking
- Cunning, clever
- Usually above average intelligence
- Always looking for ways to make money or achieve fame or notoriety
- Willing to cause or contribute to the financial ruin of others
- Untrustworthy
- Cannot be trusted to adhere to conventional standards of morality
Sounds about right to me. It's time we responded to their sickness by breaking them up, seizing their assets, and prosecuting the criminals who run many of them.
