Meh... it's just a vent. Some people will say anything whether they mean it or not when just ranting. That's all it is, though; it's just a rant.

Now if someone actually acts on it, that's something different.
yeh, true, but with the thought... can the act be fair behind?

sometimes not.

There is actually a LARGE gap between thought and physical application. Obviously this gap narrows significantly when the person is mentally unstable, or has temper issues. notfred shows absolutely no signs of temper issues or mental instability, rather he is displaying a very common human emotion that humans have come to understand as frustration. The mental processes that are implemented to relieve this frustration are the brief thoughts of causing harm to the source of the frustration. From here there is a GREAT leap to actually following through on physical action, the odds of which call upon a dynamic set of definitions of principles, morals and mental stability.
do you know him in real life?

and hence why i said "sometimes".

Ok, so I heard your two cents then - you think I should go see a psychiatrist because a thought ran through my head for a second or two.

You also think that getting drunk and getting in bar fights is a better way to let off steam than posting on an internet forum about it, so I'll take your two cents with a grain of salt, thanks.

Fair enough. For the record, I said "if I wanted to throw some knuckles" that's what I would do. I can honestly say that I no longer get the urge to fist fight anymore, because I've been in a few and I learned the hard way that there's always a better solution. A little thing some might refer to as "growing up".

By the way, it takes longer than "a second or two" to think about something, reflect on it, craft up a nice little post about it, and click the 'post' button. But who's counting, right?

I wasn't thinking about slapping anyone while I was writing the post. I was thinking about the fact that I thought about it earlier. It was a reflection on my eariler thoughts, not my thoughts during the entire time I was writing the post.

it's not like I've spent all morning weighing the pros and cons of hitting people. She said something to make me mad, there was an instant of anger in which that thought crossed my mind, and then I thought about the significance of that for a while, and made this post.

No, I don't know him in real life, neither does meltdown75 but he still saw fit to attack him for expressing emotion.

I don't see any problem with his logic. He's saying that he's judging me without knowing me, just like meltdown is doing. All three of you are judging me in various ways without knowing me. The concensus seems to be that it's ok to judge me without knowing me. You're the only one who's brought up knowing me as some kind of qualification to making judgments about me.

For anyone that gives a fvkcing rat's ass:

Yes this post fvcking damn well DID offend me. As I mentioned earlier - and I will avoid getting into detail - I have witnessed violence between SEVERAL married couples on numerous occasions IN REAL LIFE, IN MY LIFE.

Do you really find it that FAR FVKCING FETCHED that such a post would offend me? IS THERE NOTHING THAT RAISES YOUR IRE? NOTHING? Or do you just sit there and keep your opinions to yourself?

What do you stand up for mobobuff? What do you speak your mind on? Or do you simply wait to see which side you prefer in any given debate, and jump in when the time is right, as you did in this thread?

To the OP: I apologize FULLY. IT WAS NOT WORTH THE EFFORT at all. To those that think violent thoughts and urges are NORMAL and ACCEPTABLE - CHECK YOUR FVKCING HEAD. The fact that they are common only proves that our society is FVCKED UP. Yay, let's all chime in - if we all feel the same, it must be right, RIGHT?

WRONG. So yes, I have expressed my opinion and I urge everyone out there to do the same. You only live once and I am glad for every time I am given the opportunity to SPEAK MY MIND. Call it grandstanding, call it soapboxing, call it whatever the hell you want. But I'd rather post than bite my tongue - I'll never change and I'm proud of it.

He didn't actually do it...he thought about it. Heck, anyone who's been in a relationship should realize that they can be extremely frustrating. There's been a number of times where I wanted to just "shut the girl up"...not necessarily out of anger, but out of frustration. Of course, I'd never do that because I've found ways to release pent-up frustration or anger (lifting weights or heavy drinking)...

Best advice I can give it to just let it go...the less you seem to care about an arguement the better in the LT.
i don't know if anyone claimed he did it. but some of us are saying, "no, we wouldn't do it or even think of doing it."

A major problem in this thread is that "think" can mean either "split-second, irrational mental urge", or "actually consider doing it for several minutes." Practically everyone has felt the first, much like that urge to mash the gas when you see the blue and red lights in your rearview mirror. However, most of us calmly surrender to our rational side, which civilization depends on. Similarly, if someone is arguing with us (or just says something really stupid:D), many people feel a sudden instinct to hit them. Most of us supress it within milliseconds, dismissing it immediately as obviously an unacceptable act. Now, actually considering hitting someone, more than just a split-second urge? That's bad.

If you've never once in your life had the urge to injure someone else, you must be more highly evolved than the rest of the world, because most of us have, at one time or another, felt that way. That's the way humanity is, except for you, apparently.

Really, go start a poll if you don't beleive me. It is perfectly normal for people to feel violent when they're angry. What seperates moral people from criminals is thier ability to keep from acting on those feelings.

he was trying to say that meltdown shouldn't have judged you without knowing you. i rebutted that he shouldn't judge you just the same. therein his logic was flawed.

Now you see that? What you just did there was express strong emotion, in an arguably uncivilized fashion. However, those are very common emotions, and I won't say you're "not a man" or you should "see a psychiatrist" - I respect that you had the desire to communicate them and reflect on them. In return I only expect you to have the same understanding and level-headedness when someone else expresses their emotions.

And the only thing I stand up for is common sense, logic, and a basic understanding of life. Anything outside of those definitions, and my predispositions tend to disappear. Also, I didn't read this topic from the moment it started, I came in about 40 minutes ago, fully understanding what the OP was getting at.

re·al·ly adv.

1. In actual truth or fact: The horseshoe crab isn't really a crab at all.
2. Truly; genuinely: That was a really enjoyable evening.
3. Indeed: Really, you shouldn't have done it.

Are those definitions consistent with what you're thinking? I really (as per above definitions) thought about it for about a second.
