Now that I've had time to get used to them, I like my portraits. One of my alts is my favorite, and another alt is my least-favorite because CCP didn't include the awesome composite Amarr helmets in new chargen.

I hate the new wardrobe in general. Yeah yeah, no one cares, but the wacky costumes many races used to have (like Gallente plastic bubble helmets) are now replaced with uninspired khaki, black, navy blue and olive drab for the most part.

I only had the pleasure to talk to one IRL once (yes, I have an interesting job, most of the time).
Not sure if 3 kills already qualify for "serial", though.
Have to say: not charming at all. Just some pathetic, sobbing, self-righteous piece of crap.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

The "charm" aspect is more of a psychopath trait.
Sociopaths however tend to be as you said, "piece of crap."

Their are a lot of different flavors really.

I mean Serial Killer has a broad definition, all you need is 3 separate murders over the course of at least one month.

Reasons can very. Delusion, Deep Seeded Anger, Thrill, Sadistic or Sexual Gratification, Profit, Mercy or Perceived Mercy, Attention Seekingreally what ever floats your boat.

What did this guy do anyway.

Really though people are to quick to label someone one or the other when any number of personality types can go down this road. The thing is lack of Empathy for the specific targets which can be brought on by any number of things outside those disorders.

Not that many people without some level of Sociopathic / Psychopathic Behavior go that far though.

The entire subject creeps me out, if I start researching Serial Killers I am not going to sleep. I don't even like procedural Cop Shows on the subject. Serial Killer Episodes are my least favorite.

I could start a ranting about this article now and derail your threat into oblivion.
Maybe just one small thing: both terms are no longer used, and were merged into the term "anti-social personality disorder" in DSM-IV (actually, I think this even happened in DSM III already, but I am not really sure about this).
The difference is intelligence. Some stupid, uneducated f+ck will not have the mental resources to cover up his personality disorder and thus behave like an out-of control hooligan.
Intelligent people, however, do have this level of control. But those people are usually intelligent enough to find another vent for their hunger for power and mischief. Studies actually have proven that intelligent people with ASPD are drawn into politics and economics and make up a huge part of the so-called "elite" of today's society.

edit: @ Alara: He was doing drugs, getting high and killing people that he thought were easy targets and might have enough money to get him some more drugs. With a hammer, if I remember correctly. And of course, it was all society's fault, he felt like he was the only true victim here...

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

I thought the difference was the one type does it because he likes to do it, the other type doesn´t really care about killing people, but if it is an effective way to achieve his goal, he doesn´t really mind anyway.
These are completely different attitudes and should be therefore different medical conditions as well.
If you are just intelligent enough to choose a different way to satisfy your hunger, you are still a sociopath, just an intelligent one. If you are a psychopath, you don´t have a hunger for anything, you lack the inhibitions to hurt or kill someone but don´t go out of their way doing so.
I could be mixing it up with something else though.

I got lost in thought... it was unfamiliar territory.
