Shayatanica - First of all, one of the diagnostic criteria of AsPD is irresponsibility. A "responsible" sociopath or psychopath seems to be somewhat of an oxymoron, don't you think? Next you presume that people with bipolar are possibly more physically dangerous. Let's for a moment say okay, maybe people going through an extreme state could physically injure someone, what about the fact that people with AsPD are well known to manipulate and torment people? Some now days might argue mental anguish is more scarring than physical.
Generally speaking I haven't come across people assuming that AsPD and predator like behaviour go together, although there's certainly a negative view in general for a reason. You yourself just showed some casual disregard for the law as if it should be a normalcy (and as someone with a heavy interest in politics and current events, I can get certain disagreements with the law but somehow I get the inclining you aren't going to be debating about union rights or foreign affairs) and even go on to show people as "mere happenstance" should they get "caught in the crossfire." Furthermore you go on to say that you find the "best possible margin between satiating whatever need that harms the other person as little as possible." Let's look at the disturbing part of that. You're not aiming for your goals whilst avoiding harming others, since people just "happenstance" in those occurrence.
So you know what? Maybe most of you aren't Ted Bundy. In fact, statistically speaking (the ones that have been tracked since for the most part they're under the radar) many people with AsPD are successful people in society. But guess what? You just went on to show why so many people view people with AsPD in a dim light to say the least. And guess what, there aren't really any known AsPDers that have made positive contributions to the world. So in any event based on what you just said, the diagnostic criteria for the disorder, and lack of psychopaths, I think certain generalizations are fair based on what we do know.
