	SCAB's ( Single Containing Abusive Behaviour ) should not 
be picked, they get bloody and leave ugly scars. Most feel closer 
to their therapist than to reality. They use pretty words to 
camouflage sincere feelings, and spend a ridiculous amount of 
time forgetting. They often mutter under their breath things they 
are afraid to confront you with. Their lack of trust in 
themselves is reflected mostly in their lack of trust in you.

	Beware, the plastic smile, the hyperactive eyeballs, the 
separate reality. They will punish your ego. Their sincere 
feelings are made of despair.

	For me, love is the process of two people learning how to 
depend less on each other, to be mutually supportive of trying 
new things, to support effort even in the event of failure, to 
teach each other how to be emotionally self-sufficient. SCAB's 
most often speak in Psychological tongues, developing 
relationships, subjective truths, etc.

	For me, achievement is the result of hard work, hours 
spent developing a theory and applying it realistically. For a 
SCAB, it is a deceptive trick. SCAB's lack the motivation to 
aspire to any real achievement. Their only pride is in their 
ability to deprive you of yours.

	They feel the most comfortable nestled somewhere in the 
cracks of ambiguity, and hesitate to state any sort of honest 
opinion. This is contrary to the way they express trivial 
matters, preferring to stick to what they know, and remain 
ignorant, they like to use alot of pleasant adjectives. When they 
give you a compliment, you can be sure it's designed as an excuse 
for their own behaviour.

	SCAB's are the pinnacle of fair weather friends, and they 
desire only to cut off the head of ugly truth. They are the 
escape artists of reality. They are destined to spend their lives 
trying, and never doing.

	Me, I'm off limits. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha . . .
Play your cards right and I'll even let you feel sorry for me.
So much for being khoul. So much for FRAUDian ANALysis. Go for a 
slide down the razor blade of life. I'm wise. I feel nothing for 
you.

	Now, you too can have your own little monster to hack to 
ribbons. Enjoy.
