Do you have violent thoughts about others?

[Darius11 12]

I have violent thoughts every day. They only last a sec. Usually when I am driving and some duch on a cell phone cuts me off. Believe it or not that happens daily to me in Rhode Island. I thought New York drivers were bad.

But just want to see if need to get on crazy pills or do we all have violent thoughts about others even our selves some time.

There is a difference between having thoughts and acting on them.

As long as you don't cross that line, you're probably pretty normal.

If you were in a lawless place where there were no police and no bad consequences for violent behavior, would you act out those violent thoughts?

That’s kind of what I assumed, but I was having a discussion where I mentioned I often have violent, sexual, crazy , …etc thoughts daily and think most of us have the thoughts. I was told that. FYI most people don’t have thoughts like that. So I figured I should do a poll and see what most people say.

There seems to be another component as well - what you say (or in this medium, what you write).

Are what you do, what you say/write, and what you think in harmony/agreement/connosance?

When those three are dissonant, someone (generally, not specifically) may be called 'hypocrite.'

No I wouldn’t.
The only justification for violence is violence. To clarify I mean when someone is doing violence to you or the people you care about that is the only time where I believe a reaction in violence might be necessary and justified.

I don’t even kill the spiders in my house. I figure we all have a right to live, and as long as they don’t bite me we cool.

Mmmm . . . I'm not so certain about that. That would mean that Stephan King is a hypocrite because he doesn't kill people and Tom Clance is a hypocrite because he's hasn't blown anybody up.

The big issue with writing things online or anywhere IMHO is that you can never tell the Tone of the conversation.
That’s why I never like to have emotionally sensitive conversation with text or Email.

Many times the tone you hear in your head as you are writing something is not the same as what the reader will interpret.

Hmmm why did religious texts and who wrote them jump into my mind when I read that.( choose any religious text)

[Darius11 12]

I think not just about that but all the history books we take as fact.

Concur heartily.

I largely read John Rich's response in the prior thread to be intentionally exaggerated (a la John Bolton) to make a point w/r/t the language you chose.

Fair enough. Exceptions for good and bad art excluded.

I doubt, however, that you would disagree that the public figure who claims to be strictly against sex outside of marriage and publicly criticizes others for not adhering to his/her belief system ... but turns out to have 5 simultaneous extra-marital affairs has a problem with reconciling words, actions, and beliefs, yes?

Pragmatically, true; is that the standard that you to advocate?

I like Chinese food.

My knives and guns are talking to me. Strangely enough, they are telling me to burn things.

I would agree to that. That said, we all have our struggles in life and nothing in real life is as simple as it may appear on the surface.

Let me ask you this, while I'm struggling with demons of my own do I have to completely conquer them in order to talk about how they might negatively effect people or can I talk about the evils while I'm attempting to deal with them?

I do see a shade of grey here.

Sounds right. When I read in the paper about some criminal who has done something terrible to an innocent person I think about how I would love to have the guy alone so I could torture him to death slowly. The truth is I would probably be scared shitless and even if I wasn't I could probably never have the stomach to actually do that to someone. So yes so long as it is harmless fantasy I see nothing wrong with it. I don't think it makes me evil to think such things.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Do you have violent thoughts about others?

Only when I read Speaker's Corner. Or sometimes when I think about Remster. But other than that, no.

I often think that other people are idiots and/or assholes. But then I remember that I am one of the idiot/assholes, and I get over it.

[Shotgun 1]

Isn't the "Hey I like cats" and "I like Chinese food" sort of redundant?
