Sorry, friend. The “Do You Wish ‘The Pain’ On Anyone” thread is just down the hall. 
Luckily for me, there is no one in my life at this time that I hate. So, no.
Yep four, and I’d probably drop off to sleep giggling.
Forgive me, I’ve been sick lately and have gotten rather crabby. You make a very good point that there may be others who value the “should be dead” person. A parent, a child, a spouse. I really don’t wish any misery on any of those people --even though I don’t know them. If only there could be some kind of filter where bad deeds could be turned back upon the deed do-er and no one else. I doubt that I will ever have the satisfaction of knowing if karma ever caught up with this person. I think that just adds to my anger or sadness or whatever the hell it is.
Sorry, this is suppose to be a poll, I’ll shutup now.
No, I could never do it myself. However, if a particular pile of excrement I am acquainted with ever had a tragic, fatal accident, I’d probably throw a party.
YES
That wasn’t the intent. I was legitimately curious based on the comments in the other thread, and I figured if the Dope Collective has been candid enough to discuss everything from polygamy to liquid farts, there’d be a generally honest answer to this inquiry as well. That’s why I requested no specifics: I figured it’d be easier for people to say “yes” if they didn’t also have to say “I want to destroy my landlord’s cerebellum with a blowtorch” or whatever.
I had no expectation of the proportion of “yes” to “no” responses; seems to me it’s interesting no matter which way it goes.
No, not kill, because I’m an atheist so I don’t believe in an afterlife. And I want them to suffer. So I’m thinking one of those injuries that stays with you forever. There are a couple of people I might inflict it on if I could do so without repercussions. Mind you, these people have done Very Bad Things. Not mild stuff. I don’t hate them or anything, any more, I just recognize that there’s a karmic debt that is owed and if I am the instrument by which it is paid, that would be just all right by me.
No, I don’t want him dead. The complete destruction of his professional career, a ruinous bankruptcy and being forced to endure the mockery and contempt of all the people he stepped on would be enough.
If his wife left him, that would be a nice extra touch.
No. A couple of broken legs maybe, but not death.
I am not personally acquainted with anyone I believe deserves death. Outside my social circle, there are plenty of people I’d cheerfully, gleefully kill ( assuming I could be absolutely sure they were as guilty as I believe ), but I don’t know anyone that bad.
I don’t loathe anyone enough to make me want to become a murderer. There are people that I’d say a cheery “Ta ta” to should I happen to be around them as they leave the world.
I don’t know. I can’t answer this - and I’m finding that somewhat strange. While I want to say “hell yes”, I can’t quite do it. 
Oh good golly yes, but I’m too lazy to do it myself and too cheap to hire someone.
Yes and I would like to kill the sorry bastard every damn day for the next twenty or thirty years.
I don’t think so. While it’s nice to make object lessons out of people, to have them serve as warnings to others, the particular group of people that causes my Homicidal Wrath ™ is not particularly clueful, and it’s best not to give them any potential martyrs.
For the most part, I have a thoroughly pacifist nature, and I think I that place a high value on ethics.
There is, however, one person whose continued existence can be attributed only to my reluctance to resign myself to a long prison term and concern that his murder might inconvenience (in a small way) some people that I shouldn’t like to. I sincerely believe that his removal would be a net positive, if not for the negative consequences of the inevitable action of the justice system.
The absolute certainty of those consequences is awfully inhibiting, though.
Yeah, its a kind of ugly way to feel. Oh well.
No, but I have in the past. Once a guy tormented me so badly in school that I dreamt I killed him by throwing him down a staircase. We’re actually good friends now though.
Abject humiliation? Yes. Death? That’s pretty harsh.
Death by my hands? Not really. Of course, if you start a thread titled ‘Poll: Whose Grave Would You Piss On After They Die’, I might have a different answer.
