Patrick Bateman does, but he is arguably a malignant narcissist, contrary to the title and popular belief. (much cooler than a psychopath anyway)

disgust is a very precious thing, if for a heartbeat only.

More often than not it keeps you alive.

Being disgusted, or grossed out is not the issue, but why would you be in such a state is.

Would you go Windigo on your loved ones?

...And Patrick Bateman is a fictitious character, from a novel by Brett Easton Ellis. Using his purported "feelings" to make any sort of general statement about psychopathy is dumb. This is especially true concerning Bateman's character within the context of the narrative of "American Psycho". As the protagonist, Pat embodies the irreconcilability of "the normal pursuits" of a typical yuppie jetsetter, and the dark underbelly of the reality it propagates, by associating these with the vilest, most base psychopathic archtypes. It's a brilliant exposition of the hypocrisy and duplicity of western society, but it is not a sound means by which to assess actual psychopathic traits. Jussayin'. :P

I can't think of any time I've ever felt those feelings except for disgust at the stupidity of my inferiors. And thats honestly more arrogance and narcism then disgust.

Thanks Eddie. You're not so bad with them yourself- especially considering that English is not your mother tongue. You'd write clever little circles around me easily, in Swedish. :D
