Yes, they do. A psychopath isn't someone who doesn't have feelings. A psychopath is someone who doesn't feel guilt (which is why they are sometimes violent- one of the reasons that we don't hurt each other is that we would feel guilty if we did). The psychopaths who are in movies (like Hannibal Lecter) are often incapable of emotion or only capable of rage, but real-life psychopaths can feel happy, sad, angry, surprised, et cetera.
No not always but they can be.
As a result of its use by the media, the word psychopathhas become a near synonym for serial killer. The term generally used now is sociopath. Sociopaths have great difficulty learning from life, from experience; and this hampers their emotional development: they are desperately immature and very selfish. They have no respect for others. They lack a conscience; many are sadistic and, above all, they crave victims.
There are four different types of psychopaths.The first type is distempered psychopaths, who are the most prone to sudden outbursts of rage, with frenzy and rage resembling an epileptic fit. They have immensely strong sex drives, obsessing with sexual urges during their lives. They have also huge cravings, such as kleptomania or sadistic pedophilia, doing this almost solely for the "rush." Then, there are primary psychopaths, who should be called emotional masochists. They won't respond to stress, punishment, or disapproval. Another strong trait is that they don't understand the meaning of words well, a condition called semantic aphasia. They have no life plan and are just breathing machines with no emotion, good or bad. Next, there are charismatic psychopaths -- in one word, liars. They are irresistible, charming, believe their own lies, extremely persuasive, talented, and also have the ability to manipulate well. In fact, many leaders of doomsday cults (cults that drive their followers to their deaths, such as the Heaven's Gate cult) were these types of psychopaths. Finally, there are secondary psychopaths, who may feel slight emotions of worry or guilt. These are avid risk-takers, exposing themselves to more stress and danger than the average person, who play by their own rules.People will often confuse sociopaths and antisocial disorders with Psychopathy.

There may be some; keep looking.If you have a child or know someone with a child who seems sociopathic...== == And if you possibly can, find someone trained by Dr. Robert Hare of Canada; he has developed a specialized type of therapy that will help child psychopaths (sociopaths) veer off the destructive path and have the best life the illness allows! Arguably, he is the ONLY one who knows how to train therapists to deal with sociopaths, and has a special type of therapy developed for children with this devastating mental illness.See his BOOK, "Without Conscience," available at online bookshops, and you'll be able to understand much more. You may want to read the article on Mary Flora Belle the sweet looking girl that became a serial killer at the age of ten. In the related links box below I posted the link.
No, violent video games teach kids about life and how it is and how it will be in the modern age...
I have learned about sociopaths that they are mainly concentrated about themselves, because they did not have caress from their parents in the childhood, since they had mean parents who taught them only to go after money and this is what they only know- who threw them out from the house- instead of making money themselves and buying the house for their children. This is how children become sociopaths and superior. Also, we are all sociopaths - but we love each other, you can definitely cure a sociopath- by constantly working with him, and concentrating him or her to a good life, instead of being manipulative and think that you are not able to cure a sociopath. It is all about work. They teach us of loving and caring for each other.
No, not all sociopath's have every symptom, but what they do have could destroy your life and they don't care. Run...
Though I do not believe violent video games promote real life violence, many experts believe they do. For example, in Australia violent video games are banned, and a heavy fine is placed on those found with them.
