jerks and bullies poke fun at people, cause mischief and generally act like nasty stereotypes.. sociopaths / psychopaths are a WHOLE different deal, there is a major difference between a "jerk" (who will bully and make fun of you) and a sadistic sociopath who finds "fun" in murder and torture.

That is why I want it to be separated.. sociopaths are "evil".. very "evil".. they simply can not be classed as regular "jerks" or "bullies" because the acts they commit go way beyond anything a standard jerk or bully would do.

some guy stuffing kids in lockers to get lunch money or calling someone nasty names can not be compared to guys who happily rape and kill people, for "fun".

(and yes, some "bullies" can go sociopathic in the torment they commit (such as Peter Stegman) but in the end they should be classed as "sociopaths" rather than regular jerks or bullies. because they go far beyond the heinous standards of those particular character types).
