Diet Secrets from an Anorexic?
Sometimes people find Crime Rant by typing in the strangest search strings. Sometimes they are really, really dumb. This week some internet surfer entered the following into a search engine:
how to get thin like nicole richie
They landed on a Picture This: The Skinny on Nicole Richie’s Arrest. Like anyone would want diet tips from her? Maybe parenting tips from Britney Spears would be worse? Stock tips from Martha Stewart? Relationship advice from Bobby Cutts, Jr.?
What do you think would be the worst?

Gam- Rae.. Hehe, I’m a PC queen. And I’m proud of it.
I think D Peterson has it all right: “I control my family, and i think everybody should control their families,” or somethong like that.
Some of you fail to see the deep philosophical aspects of Drew Peterson. He is not by any means a shallow man.
March 1st, 2008 at 9:59 pm
You are an idiot.
March 2nd, 2008 at 7:10 am
Plumbing Drew Peterson’s philosophical depths is something I’ll pass on, thanks. There are more interesting ways to spend five minutes.
March 2nd, 2008 at 7:17 am
I’d say Drew Peterson is POSSIBLY a very shallow man. Since, he has QUITE POSSIBLY buried at least 2 wives in shallow graves. IMO.
March 2nd, 2008 at 9:04 am
Kirsti–I’ll bet Drew is exactly the type of man you need in your life.
March 2nd, 2008 at 4:23 pm
You guys crack me up!!
March 2nd, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I think the very definition of shallow would be marrying someone 30 years younger than yourself.
I mean, what did he want her for? Stimulating conversation? I dont know many 17 year olds that are very interested in men in their 50’s, unless they are very insecure and looking for a Daddy figure. What the MAN wants in those types of relationships is quite clearer.

March 2nd, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Marrying a lady 30 years younger IS a way to contorl your family! Controlling family is very important to a man. Natural law, so to speak, at least to Peterson.
Peterson is a thinker of Biblical porportions. Just my observation, guys..
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:14 pm
Okay, so you are saying he is a control freak?
If that is what you are saying then OMG I am agreeing with Kirsti.
Thing that happens with control freaks though, when they lose control, they REALLY lose control. However, that doesnt make him a thinker, that makes him a psychopath.
March 2nd, 2008 at 9:12 pm
What is a thinker? What is a psychopath? I never uderstand how people with no empathy know how normal people feel, and how to hurt them. How can you know how to inflict pain, when you have no feelings of your own?
We have all met guys that are able to see our weeknesses and sting us right in the sore spot. How is that possible if they have no empathy?
I don’t know what kind of “gifts” Drew has. Being married 4 times, he obviously has something. What is that?
March 2nd, 2008 at 10:26 pm
“We have all met guys that are able to see our weeknesses and sting us right in the sore spot. How is that possible if they have no empathy?”
I don’t think empathy is at all necessary to hurt someone. (In fact, I would think it would be a requirement to lack it!)
Empathy is: 1. the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another
I believe someone without empathy may in fact recognize others’ feelings …they just don’t care about them! Also, I believe they definitely have feelings of their own. In Drew’s case, he only has feelings for Drew.

Patient Confidentiality – By Dr. Phil
March 3rd, 2008 at 6:26 pm
gam- thank you. Guess I’m gonne understand it someday.. Wide range of peolpe in this world.
Empathy to me is that you are able to feel other people’s pain. Not intellectually, but literally. If I see somebody hurt you, I’ll know they hurt you, and I will stand up for you.
I’m sorry, I don’t try to be funny here.. I just don’t get it.
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Shakes head… So WHY do you think Drew Peterson is empathetic exactly? Do you think he feels Stacy’s families pain when he parades around like a moron and trashes her?
And K Savio’s family’s pain for that matter?
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Kirsti, if you don’t get it–try reading gam’s post again.
I thought it was one of the best descriptions of empathy/lack of, that I’ve seen in awhile.
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:38 pm
I think you misunderstood. What i asked was: If you don’t understand pain, how do you know how to inflict it?
I do understand that DP might have concience whatsoever. I also understand that he might have killed people.
But how can we charm people, control them, if we have no understanding, intellectual or emotional, understanding of how the victim feel?
My opinion is that these kind of people must have a higher understanding. Difference is that they use their empathy against us. Most of us use our empathy to protect each other. ONKY?
March 3rd, 2008 at 7:41 pm
ment: NO concience whatsoever. Super-ego? (i don’t know how to spell concience.)
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:08 pm
#1 – what country does ONKY come from?
#2 – psychopaths DO know how to target people, thats true, but that would not term empathy, that would term psychopathy. Case in point, Drew’s latest victim was a 17 year old at risk girl, and he slept with her, and made her depend on him.
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:37 pm
I don’t understand why what country I come from is important. Taxed good to this country for 25 years. Real good.
My question is: What is empathy? What is psychopathy? And what is the difference?
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Well, because ONKY doesn’t sit on my ears well. I find it annoying. There are a LOT of countries in Europe, why is it a secret? Are you changing diologue as you go?
As for empathy, I think its a difference between predator, to take advantage, or being sympathetic, and being able to understand and FEEL for the person.
Psychopaths generally only feel for themselves. They may have knowledge of other people, and how they feel, but they don’t care, or get off on exploiting it.
March 3rd, 2008 at 8:58 pm
ONKY.. just means onky donk? Came here from Norway in 85.. The rest of your post i nothing understand of. ONKY?
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:06 pm
Predators (like D.P.) are frauds. They observe people, and find a way in, to take advantage of them. Any supposed sympathy is fake. They know how to act and to look like they feel for others, but they don’t.
Very much what Melissa is saying in her last paragraph.
Kirsti, are you really making an effort to understand? Or are you antagonizing us? And please don’t say you don’t know what that word means. If you’ve been in America for 22 years you surely must grasp the English language, or at least know how to peruse a dictionary.
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:09 pm
There is no N. Just for further reference.
Onkee donkee is not okee dokee. Or Okey Dokey. Try okay, or even ok from now on.
The rest of the post is what you should re-read if thats what you want to understand. Actually keep reading Gam’s post over and over and over. Then you will understand the difference, and not think that Drew Peterson is a very deep and thinking man.
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Melissa: what do you mean by there is no N? So I meant okey dokey. Didn’t mean to hurt your feelings or anything.
A: What I’m asking is this: How can a person with no empathy know how to hurt people? Nothing more, nothing less.
If you have no empathy, how do you know how to inflict pain? Why are people with no empathy better then anybody else to control people and cause pain? Because they understand how you feel, and they are able to use it against you.
I agree with you all: They lack something. But it’s no empathy.
:
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:50 pm
By observation, Kirsti. That’s one way. Another sure way is to take anything you want from people, and do what ever you want to them, without regard for their well being. Use them, then discard them. That usually does the trick.
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:52 pm
What has Drew (since were using him as example) done that you find so brilliant or deep or empathetic or whatever it is that makes him special in your mind?
March 3rd, 2008 at 9:56 pm
You didnt hurt my feelings, you annoyed me. Can you identify with that?
Empathy means to identify with the feeling, not to exploit it.
Do you think that DP is able to identify with the pain he causes or does he exploit and use it?
Not saying he doesn’t understand the feelings he gives to people, just saying he has never FELT those feelings, just has used them to his advantage.
You are apparently misunderstanding understanding and identifying.

If you have no empathy, how do you know how to inflict pain? Why are people with no empathy better then anybody else to control people and cause pain? – Kirsti
The inflicting of pain upon others is not the goal of the psychopath. The goal is being the “winner” and satisfying ones own desires. The pain they cause others is simply a side effect.
March 4th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
“The pain they cause others is simply a side effect.”
You said that perfectly lisafer.

Answer IS: There is no “evil-desease.” Plain evil is all that there is. No lack of empathy, no condition described in any school-book. No socio, no psyco, no narciss. Evil is evil. There is no other name for it…
