Do you have a dark side?

    Do you ever have times when that little devil is sitting on your shoulder encouraging you to make the 'evil' choice, and you have to dismiss the idea and 'do the right thing'?

    And do you ever indulge in fantasies/daydreams where you explore this darkside? I.E, do you ever fantasise about what it would be like to be a serial killer, a thief, an evil dictator etc?

    I get the impression that most people would be afraid to indulge their dark side, even in fantasy, as it reveals a part of them that they don't like to admit exists.

    So AH...how evil are you?

    <insert mandatory Star Wars joke>

    Anyway, yeah. It's kind of odd to say (write) it but I think I have a dark side. I still fantasize about torturing kids I went to school with for bullying me etc. Not that I was a saint, I did my share of bullying too.

    I'll try to find the link but there was a good article in Expand Your Horizons about what kind of bastard animals humans can be when societal restraints are removed or suppressed.

    God yeah, I have that evil devil sitting on my shoulder:D. Was having a pedicure at the weekend, and the girl's face was inches from my feet. All I could think was how I would love to kick her full force in the face, just to see what kind of reaction I'd get. Thankfully, my good side prevailed. I often have evil fantasies about harming people. I actually had a voodoo doll once, that I used to stick pins in on especially evil days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,341 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    Yeah at times i get the urge to do some stupid shít like push someone over a bridge they're leaning against when walking by or just punch someone. The urge gets so strong that i actually have to stop and tell myself to cop on.

    There are many many examples of this to be found and as history has shown time and time again , it's in times of war that men , soldiers on all sides , become capable of the most horrendous of things .


    I know compared to indiduals expierences here this account is a more extreme example . But the really evil and dark side of humanity has being published in a book , Soldiers: Diaries of Fighting, Killing and Dying , which is the personall account of 13,000 german prisoners of war on the atrocitys they carried out as soldiers , with transcripts detailing ' the pure enjoyment' of massacring citizens ' by all sections of the german military ,from shooting down at civillians on country lanes and roads , to chasing them though towns and villages on transport , on foot through forests and slaughtering them on mass .

    One Luftwaffe pilot described how he couldn't sleep for days after shooting horses on the roadside but felt nothing at all towards the hundreds of people he had massacred .

    The conclusion is that the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and German navy were little better than the SS in their outlook on the code of war.

    I'm decent when it comes to, for example, getting more change than you should etc...

    ...but if there's someone I really dislike, nothing will hold me back from reveling somewhat in their misfortune. The 'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy thing'...well I would.*


    *of course there are exceptions like dying a horrible bloody death.

    No, are you? or are you just going to ask questions instead of contribute anything of your own :p

    Thieving sccumbag, the greedier you get the more likely you'll be caught. What goes around comes around too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭Kersmash


    all the time. the temptation to push a cyclist over or beat the jaysus outta someone is strong. I dont think id ever do anything like that without reason though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    Yup. I reckon everyone does. Anyone who doesn't leads a very boring, Ned Flanders life.

    Ned Flanders fantasied about climbing a bell tower and capping people with a rifle.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 356 ✭✭hoorsmelt


    Definitely...comes out when I drink too much...which is why I've cut down on it.

    your weird dude..

    1. I didn't say that they are my personal fantasies . :D

    2. Yes, I am an a weird dude, and quite comfortable with that fact.

    3. My fantasies can be much much darker than being a serial killer, thief or dictator. So long as I'm sane enough to tell the difference between fantasy and reality, I think it's quite healthy. I see it as a way of harmlessly dealing with negative emotions and relieving stress.

    Tonight, I'm going to fantasise about meeting you :p

    everyone has a dark side, it's human nature.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,332 ✭✭✭Guill


    Dark side? no.
    Grumpy side? yes.
