Poll: Is it wrong if...

[chetoos]

I was listening to a song one time, and some of the words of the song was "I'm alive", repeated a few times. The first thing I find myself thinking is: "we can fix that." So, I ask you, Escapists, is it wrong to think that?

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

No, not really.

If you were thinking about how to do it (Area for job to be done, possible tools/weapons, snappy thing to say once said person is finally killed/right before the kill), then it's a little wrong, but not much.

 

[Lust]

Don't let fantasy merge with reality. Sometimes, intrusive thoughts can be calming.

 

[Quaxar]

I guess you should never listen to the Portal end song then...

But no, I wouldn't say it's wrong as long as you don't do it. Same goes for every crime actually.

 

[_Janny_]

Nah, we all get homicidal or disturbing thoughts every now and then. As long as you don't act on these thoughts, then you're pretty much as normal as the rest of society.

 

[DSK-]

Thinking and Doing are two different things. As long as you understand that, it's all gravy.

 

[Chancie]

Nah, I don't think it's a problem. As long as you don't elaborate or act on it, everything's fine.

 

[PTSpyder]

funny thing is that the first song that i can think of that uses the phrase "im alive" to excess is one sung by the man in your icon chetoos, weird al himself singing "callin in sick today"

 

[JoJo]

Luckily for you, there's no such thing as "thought-crime" (yet!)

 

[LaughingAtlas]

I've thought about grabbing a bat and bludgeoning someone's head until the torn flesh and skull fragments resembled a gory flower, but actually commiting the deed, I don't think I could make one swing without compulsively going "Shit, sorry! You ok?"
Unless you're telekinetic, I would'nt worry about your thoughts too much.

 

[Obrien Xp]

There's thinking and acting. If you have self-control and do not act on your emotions when its inappropriate then you are a civilized proper human.

This is essay material for secondary schools. (its exam week so every social/moral question always snaps me back to what's going to happen monday).

 

[Marter]

As long as no actions were taken, there no issue with it.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I don't know. Was it Nickelback?
Then no.
Was it not Nickelback?
Then still no, because it was just a thought.
But it's less wrong if it was about Nickelback.

 

[Artina89]

Not really. Unless thought crime has become a reality in the past hour or so.

 

[Last Bullet]

Was it Disturbed? Don't worry about it, that's just funny.

 

[Emilox The Great]

hey! i know that feeling! i sometimes think of ways to inflict enormous amounts of paint to my fellow classmates, even my own friends. dont worry its not wrong! GET OUT OF MY TEETH!

 

[Jark212]

No, it's normal for people like us. Well, at least us dwellers of teh intrawebs...

 

[Red Bomb]

I think it's normal. I think of the same thing when I hear a child crying.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

Actually that would probably be the first thing to run through my head as well.

 

[zehydra]

It's not wrong, however if you were to implement it, then yes.
