I think we do. Even if it's only towards a person we despise, most people love blood and guts. The only difference for decent people is not being violent first.

agree, otherwise there would be no war, fights or murders

Till I went to the Vietnam War, I was pretty unimpressed with violence. That little trip really opened my eyes. You'd be suprised what you can accept as "normal" after you see death & destruction on that scale. You tend to view violence as a tool to get what you want & don't hesitate to use this tool. When most people say, "I'll kill you", they have no idea what they're saying & really should think twice about saying it, because the person you're saying it to just might have a more realistic definition of what that threat means & act on it before you do.

Well, I think there's a basic animal in us all: kill or be killed. Just instincts, but some people are able to cover it up better than others, and in some people it shines through. As for me, I despise violence at times, but I still can't get some gruesome images out of my head... I just read a bunch of Stephen King books and I loved them! I'm able to accept myself, but I still don't like hurting folks...
For me, it's just a fascination with how the body works... :-)

You asked a really good question.
I know for me it's not my first response and I have to think about it but hEll yes there's some people..... I'd like to rip them "limb from limb" as the saying goes...... and then I'd get _mean_!!!
I like to see people get what's coming to them IRL but will also settle for seeing a movie villan get what's coming to them in a movie.
I wish more people IRL would get what they deserve and faster!!
But I don't like blood and guts as "entertainment". I wouldn't pay to see Saddham hang (for example) and I don't enjoy gorey news stories. I've seen too much of it IRL years ago.

=I think that if you had been the victim of a violent crime or you had witnessed a violent act you would change your mind and feelings. To watch another real life human being screaming and crying out in pain and being helpless in real life is quite a bit different than what you see on television.

I'm a pacifist. I don't love it deep down or at the surface. Peace is much better. And I think peace is really our normal state. Violence just creeps in.

I don't necessarily think that we all 'love' it. I do however agree that everyone is more than capable of violent behavior. It all comes down to how we choose to deal with our emotions & the decisions we make about boundaries.
