BUT! If you leave them with a limp or disfigurement, they have no choice but to remember you each and everyday for the rest of their life.

Everytime someone looks at them because of the scar, or attempts to help them because of whatever disability you may have given them, everytime someone asks them if they want to do something, but they cant because of what YOU did, they have to think about you. YOU OWN THEM!

Social Genocide....mmmmmmmmmmmm

Can't go with you there, man. Isn't that kind of twisted?

We may love horror but I think we are all caring people down deep, and don't think we really believe that seriously harming someone is cool. Now the sister rape thing would definitely push buttons.......but.........could anyone here reduce them
self to the low level of the people that give them reason to hate. Don't think so, at least hope not. If anyone should feel this then, should be me, with all I have gone through, and I don't!

Enough harm has already been done!

Hope I didn't misunderstand you though, if I did I'm sorry!:(

If you were joking, disregard all of the above, and LOL!

I think some times when my boss rides my ass how I would like to put a bullet in him but I would never do it he's not worth it.He also has a family that never did a thing to me.

Seems i remember a short story about a monkeys paw. It was
like a rabbits foot. ie... after receiving the money you wish for
your loved dies in a tragic accident. It may have been called
"The monkeys paw."I have it in a book around here somewhere.

Yes, that is a classic!

One of my favorite short stories. Pet semetary reminded me of it a lot.

Working in prisons for over 17 years I see killers, those convicted of manslaughter and murder. They try to justify it to themselves and others, like we might justify taking a box of paperclips from our employer. He/She deserved it, it was an accident, I didn't mean to kill them, just scare them, but things got out of hand, all that sort of crap.

The ones who say they would do it again are the ones to be scared of. One of the guys working for me as a Clerk is doing 25 years, (50 year sentance,he's done almost 20) for killing his girlfriend. He states without hesitation, "I'd kill the bitch again if she was in front of me."

Most people say "if I knew I wouldn't get caught" they would commit murder. Well hell, we'd be killing people right and left if there was no risk or consequence. We have all thought of killing someone. For me it all boils down to fear, or lack there of.

Honestly, I know very few people who never did... But that's different from saying that I think that was right, or that I'm proud of it, or that I somehow give myself the right to decide who should live and who should not...

jay o2 waster 06-23-2004 08:09 PM

i wouldn't go that far by killing a person i hate . ok i do have a copule ppl i dislike bu ti wouldn't kill em

KRUGERKID13 06-23-2004 08:15 PM

thats not a fair question everyone has at sometime or another felt a hatred so strong for another living being that they did imagine killing them. Now as for going through with it thats another question. So to ansewer your question yes all the time

I disagree. I think there are people out there who refrain from comitting acts that are wrong NOT because there is consequence involved ... but simply because the act itself is, well, WRONG. I do believe that the majority of the population, however, rationalize their behavior according to what the law says. "It's illegal, so I won't do it." But there is a few who have actually sat and thought about the reasoning behind the laws ... the deep moral foundations beneath ideas of WHY it is against the law, and decide that way. Now, don't think I'm preaching (I'm an atheist!), but the reason I would not kill someone is simply because I love humankind, and I know that, in order for us to function properly as a society, without fear, without chaos, we have to treat each other a certain way. I actually want human beings to grow, as a species, and continue to discover things and create things and enjoy what is beautiful and good. And people who run around causing fear, spewing hatred, inflicting pain ... well, these people just hold us back. And I don't want to be one of those people. Regardless of what the law says.

fluffho 06-23-2004 10:16 PM

at first when i read this i thought it sadi 'have u ever tried to kill someone' and i was like woahh its getting a lot of replies

anyway. of course ive wanted to kil people. but like to really really want to kill someone...... i dunno maybe 2-3 people in my life. always stupid illogical people.

anyway i think id rather someone suffer than die.

Randall_Flagg 06-23-2004 10:50 PM

Nope, not me. Never wanted to kill anyone!

I wouldn't give em the satisfaction of bringing me to that point.

Most people are a challenge. And there are so much better ways of gettin back at em than killin em.

Oh... And to all of you that have seriously considered it...

GET HELP!

I'm going to unsubscribe to this one, too negative, and just leading into trouble. :(

Well with the trend these days is to blame every murder or rape on the fact that the murderer/rapist watched a horror movie or had one in his dvd collection. Making a thread. Have you ever really wanted to kill somone? Just makes those people feel vindicated, and more determend to keep on with their persicution of the horror gene

fattybluetit 06-24-2004 05:03 AM

thanx but that really hurt my brain

Vodstok 06-24-2004 06:57 AM

Sorry to bump this further, but regardless of the title of the thread, the content speaks for itself.

From what i can see, the average horror fan would not commit murder, whether from fear of reprisal, or just morally opposed to the idea of ending a life. The ratio, i would think,is pretty much the ssame as the rest of our society. So let someone stumble overt this thread and try to use it as ammunition. Then we will make congress, or whoever else they bitch too, read it, and get an education.

I have always been VERY empathetic. When i was 15, i read Homeland by R. A. Salvatore. It's the "first" story with the his character Drizzt (it wasnt the first story written with the character, but it was about his birth and childhooD), and it instantly became my favorite novel ever.

In it, Drizzt is born into a society that openly embraces murder as a means to move up socially. You have to take steps to hide it, but as long as you get away with it, you get silent claps.

He grew up empathetic, with an inborn sense of morality. That always stuck with me. i had a great childhood, but i liked seeing that even in a terrible situation, good people would still come through.

The point of all this is that stingy is correct in thinking that many of us would not do somethinglike this, simply because it is wrong.

And you dont have to have the looming threat of a horrible afterlife to keep you in line.
