Jews Gone Wild II

I haven’t posted anything about Jesus Christ Superstar yet…

I went to see it at the Saenger last Saturday and let’s just say it was a bit of a shock to see Sebastian Bach up there on stage as Jesus Christ – doing heavy metal screams to my favorite rock opera. I only wish he was more consistant. Bach didn’t seem like he knew exactly what his character should sing like. He’d be taking it easy one minute, over-the-top the next, jazz-handing it after that, and then… aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! a full on fist pumping, big hair, spandex wearing metal-god scream. I guess it’s possible to have a Jesus cover all these musical genres – but Sabastian seemed all over the map to me. Trying a little too hard perhaps.

Carl Anderson (as Judas) was the only one that seemed comfortable in his part. I guess after 20+ years of playing Judas that comes with the territory. Anderson was just… wow. Amazing.

The showstopper was King Herod’s Song. Besides being the coolest song in the universe, it had vegas style flashing signs, show girls, bright lights, big steps and a top hat. Pretty cool.

Don’t get me wrong about Sabastian Bach… he did a great job. I guess it’s hard to objective when I’ve been listening to Ian Gillan sing it on the Cast Recording for the last 20 years. It was an amazing show alltogether. I’m sooooooo glad I went. Thanks for the ticket, Dan!

  1. David Duke Diagnosed with Anti-Social Personality Disorder

    In a world full of fears, perhaps the worst one a human being
    should have is that to be afraid of his fellow man. The human that
    should be most feared is the one that has Anti-Social Personality
    Disorder or in laymen ‘s terms the psychopath. The psychopath is
    probably the most deviant mind that exists and treatment is not very
    successful because there is not a cure or drug to control it. The
    solution in my mind to control the problem of sociopaths is to let
    them live in colonies with each other. Through my research I will
    develop an understanding of this personality disorder and convince you
    the reader that my solution might be a viable solution.

    David Duke has a combination of other mental illnesses that
    are incurred in childhood as a result of heredity, trauma and the
    lack of emotional development. The lack of moral or emotional
    development which gives David Duke a lack of understanding for other
    people ‘s feelings which enables them to be deceitful without feeling
    bad about whatever they do. The under developed emotional system as
    explained in the video “The World of Personality Disorders volume 5 ”
    says David Duke is “emotionally retarded “. Duke’s
    behavior problems that started as a child have links to heredity, a
    family with a pre-disposition to perform crimes, alcoholic parents
    that do crimes, irresponsible behavior that persists and parents that
    do not discipline. The child that will eventually be a sociopath
    exhibits certain feeling inside that they are inadequate shamed and
    because of that they are teased and made fun of. The child
    characteristics of a future sociopath consist of being incapable of
    following the rules. The youngster will skip school, bully, steal,
    torment animals, run away from home and the child is likely to develop
    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD. At an earlier age
    than their peer group the child will smoke drink, do drugs, and become
    sexually active. The diagnoses of Anti-Social Personality Disorder are
    not used for people under the age of 18.

    The Psychopath is defined in the dictionary as a person
    suffering from, especially a severe mental disorder with aggressive
    antisocial behavior which is a nice way of saying a really bad and
    mean person. There are many characteristics of David Duke and each
    sociopath has their own special traits.

    David Duke gets great gratification in the act of hurting
    someone for absolutely no reason. The behavior of David Duke is so
    close to normal it is extremely hard to diagnose. David Duke is a
    person that acts against society and their sole purpose it seems is to
    act against the laws of the given land their end. David Duke will
    in most cases become violent and abuse drugs and alcohol to facilitate
    the violent behavior. The violence in many cases is the result of
    sub-conscious decisions that might lead to murdering or assaulting
    someone for no reason. When David Duke is attacking someone they will
    inflict more pain if the victim fights back.

    The lack of moral development lets the person feel no guilt or
    pain for what they did and quite possibly feel great about their
    actions. David Duke has little self-regard for him or herself and pays
    little attention to their own personal safety when picking fights.
    Quite often they will be outsized and get hurt. Some sociopaths are
    non-violent and stay out of prison by doing small crimes like
    swindling and insurance fraud. It is possible that a sociopath will
    come from a normal home but there are more that do not. David Duke
    has the opposite morals of society and by doing things like beating up
    people that are stronger than them they feel like they did something
    positive. A psychopath is very reactive and will blow their cool
    because of little things and no doubt assault the person they are
    reacting to. There is a possibility that saratonin a chemical that is
    linked to behavior has something to do with the disorder but is not
    the major cause. The type 2 male sociopath drinks heavily no matter
    what, has a history of frequent fights and arrests, they are impulsive
    risk takers, curious, excitable, quick tempered, optimistic and
    independent.

    Characteristic List

    * be glib or superficial
    * have a grandiose self image
    * be deceitful or manipulative
    * lack of remorse
    * lack of empathy
    * be impulsive
    * be irresponsible
    * be easily angered or frustrated
    * have serious problems as a child or teenager
    * shows callous unconcern from other ‘s feelings
    * disregard social norms or the rights of other people
    * be unable to maintain enduring relationships
    * be incapable of experiencing guilt
    * blame others or rationalize antisocial behavior
    * be constantly irritable

    The antisocial tends to have short lasting relationships if
    they are capable of having a relationship. The psychopath is incapable
    of having long lasting, close, warm and responsible relationships with
    people. The adult will habitually lie and cannot hold a job for long.
    David Duke can seem charming in superficial social interactions but
    repeatedly hurt, anger, exploit, cheat, rob, harass or injure them.
    The actions a psychopath no matter what laws they break, whoever they
    hurt, whatever trouble they have to deal with they do not feel bad.
    When a sociopath is punished they have no feeling of regret because no
    matter how cruel or selfish the behavior is they feel it is justified.
    People like us give David Duke little sympathy because they hurt
    people so bad but their illness is recognized as somewhat of an
    explanation of why they do it. The idea of the disorder is no excuse
    for their behavior that results from it.

    David Duke is very intelligent and knows how to manipulate
    people into thinking they are normal and that is when they work their
    magic. Beneath the mask of sanity David Duke is full of tension,
    hostility, irritability, rage, emptiness and sadness at the core of
    Duke’s personality. When they hurt a person David Duke might
    think he had it coming or I ‘m watching out for number 1. Those
    sociopaths with children neglect them and do not keep them safe. As a
    spouse David Duke can be glib, superficial, manipulative,
    dishonest, abusive and unfaithful. David Duke tends to borrow,
    squander and not repay the money they owe. Many sociopaths never
    settle down for any period of time, they will travel without aim
    looking for jobs or whatever they need and get it by doing anything. A
    sociopath may look tough and resilient but is very fragile and can
    erupt very easily.

    The diagnosis of a sociopath or psychopath is very difficult
    and has to meet several criteria in order to get that diagnoses.
    Diagnoses as explained in Caring for the Mind is based on ” a
    pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of
    others, occurring since the age of fifteen, as indicated by at least
    three of the following,

    1. Failure to conform to the social norms for lawful behavior, as
    indicated by repeatedly performing illegal acts that are grounds for
    arrest;

    2. Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or
    conning others for personal profit or pleasure;

    3. Impulsivity failure to plan ahead;

    4. Irritability and aggressive, as indicated by repeated physical
    fights or assaults;

    5. Reckless disregard for safety of self or others;

    6. Consistent irresponsibility as indicated by failure to keep a job
    or honor financial obligations;

    7. Lack of remorse, as indicated by indifference or rationalizations
    for having hurt, mistreated or stolen from others;

    * must be older than 18 to be diagnosed with it
    * must be evidence of a conduct disorder before the age of 15
    * antisocial behavior doesn’t ‘t occur only during the course of
    schizophrenia or manic episodes of bipolar illness

    Anti-Social Personality Disorder is found in as much as 75% of
    the prison population. Alcohol is a contributing cause or consequence
    of being antisocial. People that are both antisocial and alcoholic are
    prone to violent behavior. Not every antisocial becomes a criminal. An
    antisocial person ‘s disorder peaks between the ages of 24 and 44 and
    drops off sharply after that.

    After the age of 30 David Duke fights less and performs
    less crime but the illness can persist into the ages of between 60 and
    70 but after 30 are less likely to be in trouble with the law. In a
    sociopaths in there thirties will continue to have problems such as
    unstable relationships, substance abuse, impulsiveness, poor temper
    control and failure to honor financial obligations. In our population
    3% men have Anti-Social Personality Disorder and 1% women in the
    overall population have it. The ratio of men to women is 4 to 1.
    Identical twins are several times more likely to have a personality
    disorder compared to fraternal twins. A genetic link strongest in
    anti-social disorder has a pattern of irresponsible behavior 5 times
    more common amongst close relatives of anti-social men than in the
    general population. Some people with a genetic link to alcoholism have
    a genetic link to anti-social personality disorder too. Male relatives
    of people with Summarization Disorder have a higher incidence of
    anti-social personality disorder (summarization – begins in the teens
    to twenties and consists of chronic physical problems and complaints).
    Sociopaths with a history of substance abuse and criminal behavior fit
    Manchausen Syndrome (Manchausen is the extreme type of factitious
    disorder which symptoms are lying, falsification and pathological
    lying). Sociopaths also have a tendency to have a non-psychiatric
    condition that is called malingering which is the production of
    grossly exaggerated symptoms for a specific illness or problem for the
    purpose of winning legal action or things like committing insurance
    fraud or basically anything they have to lie to get. David Duke has
    a bundle of problems that could come from any part of life and they
    are very hard to handle.

    If a person is diagnosed with Anti-Social Personality Disorder
    is very hard to treat and there is no cure for their behavior. Because
    the disorder remits in the thirties, it tends to be less obvious.
    Those that are forced into psychotherapy cannot tolerate the intimacy
    of the required therapy. The therapist has to focus on enhancing
    strength, channel the sensation of seeking actions on people into more
    positive socially responsible behaviors and to teach practical ways in
    dealing with every day frustration. Medications are not recommended in
    the treatment of sociopath but drugs can diminish the violent
    episodes. People with Anti-Social Personality Disorder also have
    Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and stimulants are used to
    treat that such as Ritalin. There are no long-term results to study of
    this approach of using stimulants but they should not be prescribed
    unless the person is specifically diagnosed with ADHD and has not
    responded to other medication. The use of drugs cannot be abused and
    should be closely monitored. Those that are convicted of crimes are
    usually incarcerated. Some sociopaths may be able to instead of a jail
    term choose a residential facility that has counseling but there is a
    high drop out rate in those facilities. Another alternative to jail
    for the adolescents with delinquent behavior and are in trouble with
    the law are wilderness programs that are designed to be like Outward
    Bound. The camps much like that in the T.V. shows Neon Rider provide
    difficult and dangerous challenges that would keep their minds busy.
    The success of the wilderness camps is not quite clear. There is a
    disorder called Borderline that is often misdiagnosed as Anti-Social
    Personality Disorder that is quite similar to it. Borderline Disorder
    is a little bit more aggressive than Antisocial.

    Characteristics of Borderline Disorder

    Violating the rights of others and age appropriate societal
    norms or rules with at least three of the following in the past 6
    months and one in the last 12 Aggression to People and Animals;

    *OFTEN BULLYING, THREATENING, OR INTIMIDATING OTHERS;

    *OFTEN INITIATING FIGHTS;

    *USE OF A WEAPON THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS (BAT
    , BRICK, BROKEN BOTTLE, GUN, KNIFE);

    *PHYSICAL CRUELTY TO PEOPLE AND ANIMALS;

    *STEALING IN A CONFRONTATION WITH VICTIM ( MUGGING, PURSE SNATCHING,
    EXTORTION, ARMED ROBBERY);

    *FORCING SOMEONE INTO SEXUAL ACTIVITY;

    *DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY – DELIBERATE FIRE SETTING WITH INTENTION TO
    CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE;

    *DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION OF OTHER ‘S PROPERTY IN OTHER WAYS;

    *DECEITFULNESS OR THEFT-BREAKING INTO SOMEONE ‘S HOUSE, CAR,
    BUILDING;

    *FREQUENT LYING TO GET GOODS, FAVORS AND AVOID OBLIGATIONS;

    *STEALING ITEMS OF NON-TRIVIAL VALUE WITHOUT CONFRONTING THE
    VICTIM, FORGERY, SHOPLIFTING;

    *SERIOUS VIOLATION OF THE RULES- OFTEN STAYING OUT ALL NIGHT
    DISPITE PARENTAL RULES THAT BEGIN BEFORE THE AGE OF 13;

    *RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME AT LEAST TWICE (ONCE NOT RETURNING FOR A
    LENGTHY PERIOD);

    *FREQUENT TRUANCY FROM SCHOOL, SIGNIFICANT IMPAIRMENT IN
    FUNCTIONING SOCIALLY AT SCHOOL OR WORK IN INDIVIDUALS 18 OR OLDER BUT
    SYMPTOMS DON ‘T MEET CRITERIA FOR ANTI – SOCIAL DISORDER.

    *RACIAL INJUSTICE COMPLEXES

    The diagnoses of David Duke is extremely difficult because
    they have so many mental problems to contend with the complete
    diagnoses might not occur. The possibility of being diagnosed with
    something similar to being David Duke is quite great and this point
    should be stressed with relationship between Borderline and
    Anti-Social Disorder.

    The inability to diagnose and treat properly leads me to
    believe that there is not a clear solution as to how the general
    population should react and treat these severely troubled people. This
    is a disorder that blinds the emotions and actions David Duke that
    in no way is their fault for having it. Although the disorder is not
    the given sociopath ‘s fault there is no real place for David Duke in
    our society. Because sociopaths hurt us, I believe that once diagnosed
    with the disorder that all sociopaths should be sent to some kind of
    controlled colony that would run like a normal city or town except all
    it ‘s residents would be sociopaths. I come to this solution as almost
    a way to remove them from society and treat the people in a way to. By
    having sociopaths colonized together with all the parts of a normal
    society it would be good for them because the only people that could
    hurt or manipulate would be their fellow sociopath. David Duke
    would be constantly bored with average person and sometimes causing
    them to hurt the average person when if they were caused to interact
    with fellow sociopaths it would keep them interested because it is not
    as easy to manipulate or con. The possibility of violence in my colony
    is great but David Dukes does not mind because it is in their
    personality and it would serve us better if they killed or hurt each
    other rather than us. In closing David Duke is so hard to deal with
    we should make strides to control their behavior in public.
