Why do you want to kill this thread--just because I won't agree--or have I hit a nerve?

I'm not making any traction here. Its getting old. Yes I have a dark side. Yes I can be scary. No I'm not going to hurt anyone

Well at times when I read your posts I tend to think they are merely an attempt to get a reaction.

I understand we all have an ID, but what you describe in your opening post goes beyond doing bad things. I for one have never had any such feelings as you have describe. Infact I would think most sane people would agree. That is why I think IF you are being honest then you need help.

Seeking help when sick is not a sickness.

Exactly! There is another thread about Rutherford and his view on black people--no one is defending his statement--maybe it was his "shadow self" that made the statement!

Sorry-meant to say Russell.

Thanks JK. This is my last post on this thread. At this point the narrow mindedness, red herrings, ad hominem and logical fallacy are enough to bore me. Dont read into that, you might suppose that that boredom will lead me to commit racial genocide. There is no attempt to understand. There is no brige in the gap of thinking to perhaps see a divergent opinion or even one that you hold and just dont have the intestinal fortitude to admit to.

What if I say I hate and want to kill people of another race but then say that is just my shadow self saying it! Is that acceptable?

You must be fucking kidding me. Where did I point out a particular racial group or a puppy to say that I wanted to harm them? When did I say that I hated anyone? So rgoddamned ridiculous. I have to laugh. Its freaking hilarious. And you think this is well thought out. That is the funniest bit about it. This makes you seem intelligent in your own mind. Pat yourselves on the back. You're all right. I'm a serial killer in the making. Make sure you don't post any personal information, I might burn your house down with you in it, light a cigar from the flames of your treasured possessions, throw a puppy in for good measure and toast marshmellows while I wait for the fire department to show up. Cuz thats not a stretch.

Within the context of acknowledging the existence of something scary in your psyche, I would applaud it as a step in your healing.

In general, those that are aware of their flaws (for lack of a better word in this context) are less likely to snap and manifest dangerous behavior.

I am very cautious around those that deny they have such flaws - they are often in denial, and often act covertly to harm others.

I wonder why I don't find CHL's remarks frightening?

Just a thought.

Perhaps you are underappreciative of the importance of context. There's a difference between acknowledging negative impulses and asserting them as moral code.

CHL--I'm not trying to put you down. You have to admit--it was a shocking statement. What kind of response did you expect?

Sylvia: maybe you are too level-headed?
