i've known hundreds of people who NEEDED killing in the worst way, actually. You guys must have lived very sheltered lives.

One of my worst fears is going to prison. That alone is enough to keep me from being a criminal

You need to seek help that's not healthy

There are a few politicians that I've thought if they dropped dead, it would be fine with me. I think there is a difference in wanting to kill someone and thinking you might smile if they suddenly died. My feelings on this matter are towards those who abuse power and money. I guess it's good to know that fear of going to jail does stop some people from doing violent acts.

Not letting someone get under one's skin doesn't equal to having lived a sheltered life.
In fact, some of the people that have suffered from abuse actually turn very pacifist, they hate vengeance, because they don't want any more violence in their lifes.

(Others turn into bitter, resentful ticking bombs, akin to nitroglycerine. They will explode in your face at the slightest perceived threat.)

I knew a guy like those described; a mr body builder. A friend dated him for a while, turns out he was carrying scares from a rough childhood, over-weight and bullied and felt entitled to spread the misery around. Dont take it personally; sounds as though you have anger issues too. Do yourself a favor; stay out of relationships; partners are known for pushing buttons. Hope she wont be a statistic.

I've had those feelings. They went away when I found ways not to be around the person. Go to the gym at a different time so you don't have to see these guys. If you find more people you want to kill at the new time then get some help dealing with your feelings and uncover what's really causing such an extreme reaction on your part.

Probably not completely normal, but something that more than a few people feel occasionally. I think it has to do with having one's own life in order and feeling empowered and self-assured. I think if you can get to the point where you feel a general sense of self-effectiveness, you probably won't think this way anymore.

I've been having these same sorts of thoughts against a former boss over, the past couple of months since getting fired from some place I've worked for three years over a minor thing.
Apart from developing a hatred for military members and people from the south, I've also been reading up and watching videos about incarceration life and other, long-term consequences that follow the initial "lock up" period.

As much as I'll have to admit, I've been looking at getting into serious strength training again just to make myself appear much tougher in the event I do end up getting arrested and jailed or imprisoned for some "fly-off-the-handle" mistake.
Things are fine enough right now, but the general dread of knowing I might have to continue living in the same, small town I was trying to transfer out of for the sake of "wanting to redevelop a steady job pattern" is just making me cringe in the gut all the more so.
