Who decides who's a sociopath, and if they don't think like you, then it means they maybe different?

There is a clinical definition out there. Somewhere over the rainbow... In writing.

My problem with last week's show is that I don't understand Marcum's timeline post-homeless shelter. I know he didn't want to divulge much about his personal life but to me I think that a lot of these things would aid/hinder my willingness to believe him as credible. Questions like 'What does he do for a living? How did he regain some semblance of a day-to-day life after this experience? How did he make it back to the warehouse?' stick out to me, and without that information I find it hard to decide one way or another.

I also believe he may be slightly autistic, somewhere on the spectrum, so things like him not thinking to look up the warehouse owner seem logical to me given that context.

I think the only thing you have to know is that he's full of crap.The guy was an unexpected hit on Art's show in the 90's. People create vast fictions to be on the radio - creating answers for any possible question.

LOL!  He was wearing a hat like that last time I saw him but it was white.  He's from a part of town about 15 miles from me.  38 years old and blends in with 20 somethings.  DOUCHE.  My disdain for him is unnatural.

My problem with Marcum was that it was boring. 'I woke up ummm, it was two years later.' Fuckin boring. The cool part about the original story was that it was an article in the news. After that first show it was all downhill. I think Macum was always overrated, it wouldn't even be in my top 30 Art Bell, maybe not even 50.

He of course was BSing so why not make the story not so boring?

If he's BSing and he keeps adding details to the story then the sooner someone can discredit him concretely. The vagueness of it all ensures that he can't be tipped definitively either way.

reddit is so overrated

Unless you like cats, apparently

[Sean92008]

OMG! Art's gone Queefcore!

Moraz played some promoter's kept houseboy to make it in the business.  I believe the guy's name was Marc Berman.

[Morgus]

Have a caller debate about Mel's hole or the bigfoot lady

[ShayP]

Naw, I don't think so.  ShayP, trostol, and norland didn't like my call.  Oh well.  They can't all be home runs lol.

HEY!  I never said I din't like your call.

It's a psychological condition diagnosed as an antisocial disorder.

It was actually originally based on a news article. So that part of the story was legit, but the rest was BS.

I'm aware of the DSM, I'm just saying it sounds kind of nebulous or particular and over used often to describe people that someone doesn't like or get along with.

Reddit is 4chan with fewer viruses. Or STDs

Where you at?

[Manx]

This is a silly question. Why be kind to anyone if you're a theist? Surely not divine command theory.

Still not an answer to the question

[norland2424]

Naw, I don't think so.  ShayP, trostol, and norland didn't like my call.  Oh well.  They can't all be home runs lol.

lol i didnt hear you call in tonight, just a bunch of random guys

It's a psychological condition diagnosed as an antisocial disorder.

So was homosexuality, etc. And other things being either "expanded" or "retracted" depending on the current social-political climate (or drug company funding?)

There's very little difference between 4chan and Reddit anymore. It's largely the same userbase. 4chan is presently a neutered, pathetic animal compared to what it once was.

[ShayP]

Good Job Star. Maybe your stellar example will get shay to call in and save the show?

I am so....confused right now.   

[WanagoBleu]

All great authors!! Herbn....iwas that you?

[ShayP]

Where you at?

Richmond, VA

[Zenman]

Oh geez. People asking Atheists about morals is the dumbest thing ever. This is not entertaining radio.

Why is that the dumbest thing ever, Sandra? Just curious.

[zeebo]

is art trying to bait JC out of hiding?

I hope so.  I'd even take a JC clone.  I'm easy.

Periscope feed off now

I would agree with that.

You mean like Liberace and his chauffeur?

[Morgus]

k....just got here...what'd I miss? What the topic?

open lines and caller debates

[ZomZom]

Relevant Trey Parker quote that sums up my sympathies on the current subject:

Out of all the ridiculous religion stories â€" which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous â€" the silliest one I’ve ever heard is, ‘Yeah, there’s this big, giant universe and it’s expanding and it’s all going to collapse on itself and we’re all just here, just because… That to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.
