Yes, and I have.

It's better to try and come to terms with it or disengage, but sometimes it just won't quit.
You have...killed someone? Am I reading this correctly?
Both of us couldn't listen to the advice I gave. It didn't end well.

Guys. WHen I look at what people voted now, it seems like 84 people would kill those that they hate? I find it hard to believe so many people would actually kill someone just because they hate them. Come on guys, there are better ways to make someone pay for what they've done.

I doubt even a single person here would seriously kill someone else. Maybe really want to, but to actually do it.....nah!

'Hatred' is a strong emotion and I don't use it lightly.

Well I doubt its that way for everyone. But if you really killed someone in your life like you said then I realize what you're getting at though.

Yes.

That is why i am typing this from my jail in the one hour internet access i get.

But seriously, yes, and he is lucky he is still alive. Put him in his place a couple of times so he is not annoying to me anymore (so much) but he still rubs me the wrong way.

I was raised in a highly abusive situation. 'Nuff said, I believe.

(In other words: yes.)

Yes, there is one particular person who I used to hate so much that I can't really begin to describe the depths of it. But I got over it eventually, as Buddha said ''Holding on to anger is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die''

Kill them myself? No.
Wished death upon them? Plenty of times. What's it gonna do? No harm in it, but at the time of saying, I always really feel like I mean it.

Yes, all the time. I?m a very angry and petty person, but I?d never actually try to kill the guy. I guess it?s lucky I don?t have a Death Note, because the amount of people from my school dropping dead would be unimaginably high, with how many people piss me off on a daily basis. When I was younger, I even used to draw Saw-style pictures of stabbing my mother to death after we had a heated argument about something?even though I know that, if she really did die, touchwood, I don?t know what the fuck I?d do with myself.

Before you say it, yes, I am undergoing therapy, for numerous reasons among my anger issues often derived from stress. Diagnosed OCD, generalized anxiety, depression?you know the story.

I honestly find it difficult to comprehend hating anyone that much. Flash in the pan rage, whilst they are still being a dick, sure but even then not to that extreme. Sustained disregard for that long just sounds fucking draining.

I mean, do you want to be the sort of person who holds uber grudges? I don't understand why you don't let it go, and if you can't let it go, why you don't get help, because the only person who your hate hurts is you.

EDIT; Also, it is a bit ridiculous that the R&P forums get such bad rep, when there are super dark threads like this floating round Off-Topic

There are people in this world who I wouldn't care if they were to disappear. No there is no one I would want to kill. I grew past that dark and edgy phase where one would fantasise about vindicating themselves over another by such base and primal means.

But even during that phase, the people I imagined were fantasies themselves. Representations of things I hate. I've never projected such thoughts on to actual people. In fact, I grew past the concept of "hate". There is very little in this world that one could actively attribute hate towards and fewer still that truly warrant that hate. So in that sense there is no reason to hold onto hate. It's a vestigial aspect of our emotions, that serves very little purpose in modern society and only complicates and perpetuates its own problems.

Regardless, this poll is trending towards unhealthy territory. I'll be keeping an eye on the news...

Can I choose myself as an example? Hehe, I use humor to mask my depression.

OT: Never once considered killing a person over hatred. We often hate people over trivial reasons and that seems to go to far. Hell, if someone deserves to be called out on their bullshit, I call them out on. If that makes me abrasive, then just call me sand paper, because life is to short to put up with assholes.

Man... You do not have enough time in your life to read the list of people I want to stab in the eye.

People who hurt others just so they can feel "cool" does not deserve to live.

That is a yes. If I had access to a gun he would be dead some years ago.

Oh no.
Actually acting upon my hate would mean that said person has affected me to the point of reaction. I much rather treat those people like they don't exist or certainly don't matter.

Would I cry if they got hit by a bus?
I don't think so.

Okay, I was not suspecting those results. Not going to lie, first thought was 'what the heck's wrong with all you people?' but clearly this is just a normal thing and you're all honest at least =D I guess I'm way too passive to get riled up like that. There's barely been a handful of people in life I've even wanted to punch.

Usually, I have a lot of tolerance for religious bigotry. I generally assume that anyone who says something racist, sexist or homophobic citing religious reasons is a mindless moron who hasn't actually given thought to what they're saying and are simply parroting stuff other people have told them. The same goes for people who use poorly understood science to justify biological determinism.

Every so often, I come across justifications (whether religious, scientific or anything in between) that show that the person has actually given thought to what they're saying. That they have actually gone through logical processes, weighed facts and arrived to conclusions on their own.

Whenever that happens, I never fail to become stunned, transcending rage itself to the point where I feel nothing, and then get this sudden urge to murder them with a big-ass knife, horror movie style. I also never fail to scare myself whenever that happens, and self-chastise for a while.

Ad-hominem; this is
You have staged; on this field I will yet answer
Exists for everyone; hardship does
Get over it; we must
Conflict; life is
Contentment? this realisation has brought
Correct word this is not
Happiness? Perhaps the word is

To completely understand any one; Impossible
Stand by this I will
Miraculous beings we are
On a piece of paper, the location of every particle, know you cannot
The whole you can see
Its atomic weaknesses you cannot
Its atomic strengths you cannot
To large, even if you could it would be
The same people are
Assigned to an equation people cannot
Generalisations, you can make
Yet special snowflake, everyone is

Strengths, my weaknesses are
Hate, I have not
Never complete, my journey is
More to learn, there always is
Universe, people, myself, never fully realised the picture is
Conflict, there always will be
Any other way, have it I would not

Earn my pity; those who do not realise this do
Never ending story, I revel in



Ride the dragon, I do

YEAH!
