How do you guys...

[Socks]

deal with your serial killer, violent, and or destructive urges? I often feel intense bursts of passionate motivation to lash out at the world and do something new and refreshing. Often this manifests in desires to play god, to experiment with flesh, and to watch life suffer and end. Given the possibility of publicity in anonymity and fear through confusion, and experimentation in the human condition to its utmost, shit seems intriguing. So how do you guys resists your urge to prove yourself through violence, carnage, manipulation, and survival?

what is stopping you from saying, 'fuck it, i'm going to be Jack the Ripper for a few years, and maybe after that i'll either settle down or move on to other stuff...' and then doing it

i know i can't be the only one that wonders about this fascinating prospect

[Veal]

Well a large part of it is not being insane.

[Veal]

By the way I called the police.

I wouldn't call it common. I'd be surprised if someone else here had those same urges.

Careful.

I agree with him (Socks) completely.

Try Cocaine.

Okay fine then I guess I'd be surprised if it was common at all.

And I don't mean daydreaming about hurting people you hate whatever. I mean the serial killer shit Socks is talking about.

[snorkel]

Try Cocaine.

I think opiates are a much better idea

Okay fine then I guess I'd be surprised if it was common at all.

I have no qualms about being a hitman or a just serial killer

That's lovely but I'm talking about generalities now.

[Slim]

Well, call me old-fashioned, but killing random people for no reason doesn't really appeal to me. :\

I think I can relate somewhat, though. Personally, I'd love to mug everyone I see and--oh I don't know--burn down buildings or some shit, just for laughs. Oh, and kidnap people's pets and release them in another state or something (or just kill them), just to see how much misery I can inflict on their owners. The reason I don't do these things is because the consequences for this sort of stuff would go against my self-interest--namely, going to prison. This is probably a good enough reason to hold back these urges.

But if society ever collapses and we return to the law of the jungle, then all bets are off.

Me neither, if the price were right.

But serial killer though? I just don't see the point. Seems like a waste of time.

i don't find the notion shocking or unusual, to be honest. i've always felt i had the ability along with the nagging curiosity which has also always been there. i think it unusual not to have such feelings and not to consider such things. but lately, the urges have been coming and going, and getting more intense. they're sparked by many different situations and have always crept up in other things i've done, wanted to do, or believed in. but some of those possible venues of releasing such tension and effort are closing, and who knows what's next, as we all try to figure out our lives and set up the future.

And I don't mean daydreaming about hurting people you hate whatever. I mean the serial killer shit Socks is talking about.

yeah. my rage (it's not really range though, it's just a desire to do something) is not directed at people i know, or people who have personally pissed me off. i want to affected perception, change attitude, and target certain things, which i wont mention. and i honestly would not have any qualms about permanently eliminating such things and causing chaos.
