Every human has a darker, more primal side.

[CrazyGirl17]

Personally, I'd like to find some people who have dog fighting rings and tear them limb from limb, Alex Mercer style.

...I have anger issues, okay?

 

[retyopy]

Human beings are just another form of ape, and apes can be brutal creatures (look for vids of chimpanzee's fighting, its terrifying how vicious they are) but they can also be like the bonobo- exceptionally friendly and loving.
You can never be sure what your capable of until its time to do it for reals, but there's no need to glorify it and post some revoltingly detailed paragraph about cannibalism or torture, the point is to control and stifle that part of us, letting it out only in direst circumstances or in a controlled environment, I mean thats what alcohol and partying is about- allowing ourselves to go wild in a safe environment, and what purpose games serve as well.
So basically what im saying is why post stuff like that? I mena why not just go blow people up in CoD or whatnot?

Well, first of all, because I hate CoD. Second of all, because I want to hear from other people. That's what the internet is for. And third off, you think this is disgusting? Sheesh, you've lived a sheltered life haven't you?

Or, better yet, get their dogs to rip them limb from limb. Irony!

 

[Jedamethis]

Hmm. Bash their skull in with a tire iron. Or use my fists, because I've always wanted to know whther I could kill somebody with my bare hands.
I'm not talking about whether I could live with the horrifying memory of what I've done and all that bollocks, I mean do I have the strength to crack skulls.

Your voice gives you super-strength.

But only in times of dire need, or extreme fury. I hate that part of having super strength. T.T
And I couldn't get that angry at some stranger.

I am not made up out of parts.

'Me' is the exact combination of all that I am. Separate one thing from that, enlarge one thing or shrink another and it's no longer 'me' but a totally different person.

I do not have a darker, more primal side. I do not have a lighter, more empathic side. I only have myself.

The whole is greater then the sum of it's parts, therefore the parts are incapable of describing the whole.

If I had victims I would let them go, because I am what I am and not just a part.

Beautiful. If I were stupid I would make a little crying face. But I hate smiley faces and the like. Stupid little things, being happy. I'll rip them limb from limb!

 

[zehydra]

Just because you realized something about yourself doesn't mean it's true for everybody. While it is true that most people have a primal side (I would make an excellent shooter), I have absolutely no intention on destroying, or bringing people pain.

 

[The Funslinger]

Yes, we've all got a monstrous side, it's why laws and religion and so on were made up.

Pointlessly hurting or degrading someone for the crime of being different from me comes to mind, with emphasis on how the difference makes them lesser. Unfortunately, this is something I could do (admittedly to a much lesser extent) in my day to day life, and probably do somewhat without being game to admit it.

Sheesh, do you people not get what the point of this thread is? What would you do if your dark side were to be the dominant part of you?

I'm not sure how I'd end up if that part of me were dominant. As it is now, it's part of me, sort of diluted, but still having influence. To sum up, I suspect I could live with myself if I killed.

Well then go play a different one, I dont see what there is ot gain by stating such an obvious point like "humans are animals" and asking for discussion.
And whats more whilst yes we have a capacity violence we are also programmed to not commit random acts of violence for the sake if it, the programming comes from a very similar source to a capacity for violence- instinct drilled into us by millenias of evolution.
And yes it is dosugsting- if you have a vore fetish take it to a vore fetish website, you wouldnt talk about such things in public so why talk about them here?

Yeah, this. But, suppose it works like you say....well, depends on whether I went into berserker rage or devious killer mode. Berserker rage, I'd fuck up some people, mostly finding something to violate their eyes with, but I'd be subdued pretty early on. Devious killer, I'd probably poison my flatmate's food or go into a large mass of people and shank someone quick and low, then move on as if nothing happened. Would still get caught and subdued quite fast.

[Bunnymarn]

We have a primal side because we are animals. And that primal side usually constitutes the reason for our desires. What people think and do are two completely different things; all people have twisted thoughts at some stage, but hardly any will actually emulate those thoughts onto something external to their mind.

So I was reading The Glister (by John Burnside). It's an ok book, but I don't really like it all that much because the main character keeps switching form likeable, bookish outcast to out and out jersey-shore variety (insert biggest and most insulting slander at charcters personality here). But anyway, at around the halfway point he and a few other characters go out hunting, and the main character, (Being a jersey shore variety etc.) described an animal as a "big bag of organs and blood." And this is where the thread starts to get serious, folks. The book continued in like nothing had happened, (obviously,) but I stared at that sentence for a long time. And that's when it hit me. Knowledge akin to the fact that thousands of people die everyday. You might be aware of it, but most people aren't really going to comprehend those numbers. You can't. The mind isn't made for that. Right then and there, I realized something.

Every person has a darker, more primal side.

Every Human has a part of them that would relish the idea of torturing another human. Every one of us, somewhere, deep within our souls, yearns for the screams of our fellow man. You. Me. The kindest and most wonderful person you know, somewhere, no matter how deep, would leap at the chance of painting the streets red with blood and littering it with offal.

And since this thread needs discussion value, I want you to think long and hard about what you would do if that part of you overshadowed the other side of you. You have victims. You have whatever tools you need. What do you do?

I think I would eat someone. Not all at once. Slowly, carefully, taking great care to staunch the bleeding once I'd cut off a finger. And I'd make sure to keep them awake, so that they could see it, and feel it, and know that I was eating what was once them. And once I'd reduced that person to a limbless stump, I'd starve pirranhas and send them into a frnzy, then slowly lower that poor soul in. Slowly. So that he knew what I was doing.

Why? To feel what they would. Not the pain, of course, but to understand what they were going through, to sense the pain of another being, to know what it's like to be tortured and murdered. I would take no pleasure in such an act. I would just want to know. also, I would want to know what it would feel like to do such an act, to commit such an atrocious act.

But do you know what really scares me? Thoughout all of writing that, I felt sickened with myself. Which means that, given the tools and the will, I would do this.

What the fuck man

 

[retyopy]

See, this is a man that gets! Good for you, man! You should be proud.

Naaaaaaaaaah. Cheer up. There's whole world between idea and accomplishment. People who'll embark on this journey are rare. Most do nothing beside planning.

For the love of god i hope you're just a troll.

OT: Yes, everyone has a "darker side", yes most people have figured that out. But i seriously doubt that ALL humans are capable of doing something as horrendous as you just described.

I think you've been watching too much saw.

If this is real, get outside and meet some friends, you creepy bastard.

If you are a troll, then i salute you. This would be some grade-A troll stuff if i have ever seen it.

I've never seen saw, I have friends. But they're creepy bastards too, so I suppose the effect is counterracted.

That side usually shows when somebody makes me very mad , sometimes I cannot control my anger and just break . That's why I go to the gym mostly , it's a way I can use my anger without harming others . That and punching a tree till I break or I'm close to breaking my knuckles works.

EDIT= A favourite line of mine from a song is "Even the nicest of guys has some nasty within them" and "it maybe greed, lust or plain vindictiveness but there's a level of malevolence in side of all us".

Chimpanzees may have violent fights, humans might be violent from birth. Does that mean we have a dark side that means we want to express our violent behaviour just for the fun of it?

I can't imagine ever killing someone, hurting someone lightly is almost above my capabilities. I don't enjoy stories of torture or movies about it and I don't think killing for the sake of killing is natural. Some of the reasons animals (humans included) are food, property (this includes mating partners and territory) and rage. I for one don't have a side capable of torture.

Or perhaps kidnap someone, pump them full of hallucinogenic drugs and leave them chained in a black room with one little pin prick of light shining constantly in their eyes and leave them like that with no contact whatsoever with anyone except the machines that feed them and inject more drugs for 40 years of their life. Then unexpectedly release them starving and clueless in a foreign country of which the language is not their native one, so they look like a raving madman, and the local authorities take them in and put them into a mental hospital. One fleeting chance at freedom and its lost because the guy forgot how to speak normally, and went berserk because he could not understand anyone, and no one understood him.

Now THATS cold. None of this "pin them down and stab them to see there 'reactions' (like jabbing someone with a kife is going to warrant any other reaction that 'OW!') then feed them to hungry goats. Then stab the goats."

That is a truly twisted and devious idea.
