Does it take a sociopath to not give a shit about the consequences of the tsunami?

Ok just thought i should make some response. Firstly, as far as i was aware, the tsunami hadn’t affected China? And i’m talking about Thailand and Indonesia where there is hardly the kind of funds to get themselves out of this mess alone.

And i’m not disputing the fact that many other countries are at risk from earthquakes etc, but how many people of our generation have been through this experience? and how many people have experienced something like 9/11?

going back to the OP (and having only skimmed through most of the replies)

no I dont think you are a sociopath. However, if you were there and saw the suffering first hand and still didn’t give a toss, then I think you would have sociopathic tendencies
