Comments on Inside the Criminal Mind

I too have my doubts. No two minds are the same, even if they're criminal minds. What works for one may not necessarily work for another. Unless of course we're talking complete brainwashing. In that case, anything can be done to anyone. Not much of a cure . . .

Pat

He's got 'The Cure', does he? Nonsense of course, because I've got it, and I don't need to write a whole book to explain it! Works in 99% of all cases, and I allow 1% only because I am suspicious of absolutes! Three words are enough - Really Old Age...

The very fact his book cover had to grab at you making you feel that this was going to be the thriller of all books is the first con....I think that in sadistic serial killers brain wiring may very well be involved...I'd give them all a lobotomy both places where they use their brains just in case...but con men /women....your garden variety crim. well he's just too simplistic for my thinking.

There's the con-man who is the ultimate liar...

Where does he fit in beside the one who doesn't know he's lying, who believes his own BS?

I don't trust anyone to tell me the truth when their interests are involved. It's sad, but true: people with something to sell will say and do anything to sell it. 

I knew a criminal mind once, that believed if he didn't actually injure someone physically, then he hadn't actually hurt anyone. He was a car prowler who, rather than being as quiet as possible,  slammed the door shut because he didn't want anyone to fall out of the car next time they drove.

LOL - what color is doubtful?? I realized that Trudeau is a conman AFTER buying his book , but some good advice can be read there; it wasn't a full con, some parts being repitition of things said before but presented in a flamboyant manner, and the conspiracy accusations, some of which could very possibly be right.
