Really, the title says it all. I often find myself fantasising about killing someone. It would be as easy as grabbing a kitchen knife and swiping at their jugular a little bit until it catches. I mean even if they were flapping their hands around the knife would eventually get through. Or even as easy as grabbing somebody's hair and shoving their head underwater until they drown. Or as easy as beating the living hell out of someone with my fists alone. I also sometimes think about how easy it would be to kill myself. After all, I just have to grab a knife and slit my wrists. I'm not suicidal (although I self-harm sometimes because it feels good), I just think how easy it would be and really how weak humans are in general compared to, say, an elephant or a rhino. It's quite possible that some day I will kill someone or myself, and I wouldn't feel the slightest bit of remorse.

Anyway I guess there was no point asking if this is normal or not, I know it isn't, I guess I just wanted to throw my thoughts out there and see what people say about it.

    I think you would be amazed how difficult it is to actually drive a kitchen knife into a human being. And it takes more than a few seconds to hold a person underwater for them to die; are you strong enough to keep hold of someone struggling for their life for maybe 3 minutes? Beating someone to death? Get a grip. Unless you are talking about a small child, I doubt you've got the strength.
    It ain't like on TV little boy; killing a human being is very hard work and I doubt you've got it in you.

      Okay, fair enough. Let me rephrase: I have the capacity to kill someone. I see what you're saying about the fact that it would be more difficult than it is in the movies.

    You should become a mercenary solider. Then you get to kill people for money. Google up Solider of Fortune magazine.

    You could, but the question is will you, who, and why?

      I don't know, like if someone annoyed me one day and I was feeling really crap... Like I know it's wrong and all but damn would it feel good to see someone die right in front of me and know that it was me who did it.
