I'm sure serial killers do. But don't you really mean our bad habits and character flaws? Most likely, if you realize you have "vices" say like smoking, you have the choice to either try to quit or give up trying to quit. Some of us do get to a point where we accept ourselves, though, faults and all and stop butting our heads against the proverbial brick wall.

Depends on the vice. I accept most of mine, but there are some I would like to get rid of. But most of them I consider a part of myself... they make me, well, Me.

Yes
Our own vices are the greatest obstacles in the way of our progress. No effort is made to remove them. Consequently, the door of progress remains closed.
If we have to find faults, we should look within and should try to eradicate them.

Yes I know what you mean as you get older you go with the flow of who you are hehehe it can be at times better not to fight the VICES because then we become slave to them!! With acceptance in anything in life can help you change & find better ways of handling certain problems from within that you may have that you are consciously aware of my .....
This card I keep with me:
"Serenity Prayer"
God Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change
the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference...

for a fresh perspective, watch 'The Secret' (2006):
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0846789/
synopsis:
'Believed to have been in existence for thousands of years, The Secret is only now being shared to the world. It's supposedly what brought success to such greats as Plato, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein and Andrew Carnegie. In this video, The Secret is revealed and taught by over 50 teachers, including writers, philosophers, doctors and scientists, to empower viewers to achieve success in their careers, relationships and health.'

There is always room for improvement, we should never stop trying to better ourselves. However, it really depends on what the vice is.
One of my biggest vices is caffeine I can't get by without my morning coffee, I'm sick of being lectured about it by coworkers. One of my coworkers even compared coffee to crack! Come on now.

Some of us do but depending on the vice it could be extremely unwise to do that. It could result in physical or spiritual death. Maybe we can accept our tendencies, that they are there, without resolving to always give in to them.

Most politicians and a lot of businessmen start out that way. It is much easier to get ahead if you don't care about bettering your own behavior.
Then there are smokers, drinkers and other durg addicts.
So I think the answer is an obvious yes.

Vices to one is enlightenment to another. Of course anyone that can be enlightened by vices is pretty much mad to the world. ~ : )
