The following covers how Pathological is generally used:

  • adjective: of or relating to the practice of pathology
  • adjective: caused by or evidencing a mentally disturbed condition
  • adjective: caused by or altered by or manifesting disease or pathology
     
    Pathological is regularly used in common speech and writing, especially with the second meaning, but it is not used in diagnosis (apart from "pathological fracture"). In diagnosis a disorder is described using a scale of severity.

Are pathologists pathological? 

Could be, although I prefer the ones with a wry sense of humor.

I could spend a goodly amount of time on this one, but won't. I chose to focus instead on his last quote for the word of the day.

Pathological Liars, Psychopaths & Natural Liars - Differences

 

I am going to suggest a test that each you may try and is impossible to cheat at????

You would only be fibbing to yourself.

The Test!

 

This is a three part(3), times test. Close your eyes and say one of the types, whose face or what faces come to mind.

Do this for each type. You may lie out loud, but the the face or faces you pictured, was the test.

I rest my case!

 

If you really want to scare yourself, preface each selection with the word, politician.

How is that for, food for thought.

 

I know I just scared myself and can't stop shivering.

The most ironic thing is that particular page is promoting a lawyer.

Exactly my thoughts as well. Along with the implication that people who go to them get acquitted in criminal cases.

It's what they're paid to do, to be a necessary and indispensible whore in the justice system.

It's not nice to compare whores to lawyers. Whores have principles.

Apparently all the ethical whores must have ended up there. They sure aren't here.
