Would you want to take revenge...

Post Reply New Topic

Individuals sometimes piss me off and I feel like I'd like to get them back somehow, but I can never maintain those feelings. I tend to forget to follow through. I guess that would be a no! lol

Not in real life. But when someone kills me in Modern Warfare 3? Hell yeah I want revenge.

But_scooters_really_rock! I'd so suggest getting one if you could. They aren't as fast or scary or fun as big bikes are, but they are great for girls I think.

The thing about being pro choice is that I support both choices. Way too many people see pro choice as pro abortion. I'm not. If I were to get pregnant now, at my age, 47, I would certainly go to the doctor and find out everything about the baby. I would find out if I should or should not go through with the pregnancy for my health and the baby's health.

I can also see why young girls would get abortions if they get pregnant. Many parents are horrible to their children for having sex, and a lot of those same parents will not even talk to their kids about sex. When my daughters bf moved in with her, I immediately took her for birth control. They are engaged now, and will get married as soon as they get out of college and can both afford it. I didn't want my daughter to be put in that position, where by physically expressing herself to her fiance, she may end up in a situation that she cannot deal with right now. We talked about all the health issues, and knowledgable about them. I have to trust her to make her own decisions.

But yeah, scooters rock. You should check one out.

Yes I want revenge on the people who exploited and hurt me, whether they're NT or not is irrelevant. I've wanted revenge for so long and so badly that it slowly ate me up inside.

this is a general reminder to please discuss the topic without delving into graphically violent descriptions of how you want to take revenge. one post and applicable references have been removed. thank you!

I don't really want to take revenge on people...sometimes I feel that way but I wouldn't do it.

More so I want people to see things from my perspective. Punishing or hurting someone just to pay them doesn't accomplish that, because they still don't understand. I can let a lot of things go but sometimes I get very aggressive about making my point to someone who doesn't get it.

Well, he asked, I told him what I thought. Anyway...

As a believer more in Orthodox Christian theology, we generally aren't quite as big on the eternal torment thing as Protestants. We pray for the souls of the departed, that God has mercy on them, as we believe God is a just merciful God who only punishes for correction sake, not just for fun. Basically, we believe God will judge fairly and justly everyone, and the Day of Judgement will be for ALL people, Christians, Muslims, atheists, etc, and everyone will be judged according to their works. But, after death, there is judgement, too, again based on what you do. The Bible I believe is especially harsh for Christians, as we'll all be judged according to what we know, and Christians know the truth, so knowing the truth, if we "mess up" it's less out of ignorance. Jesus said this:



Also, the Bible says I think multiple times not to gloat when your enemy falls, sometimes even with the warning that God will turn the anger he had at your enemy back towards you. I'm not talking about them in God's "dealing with them" in the context of hellfire or whatever, but even in this life, you reap what you sow, in a sense it's the same idea of karma. However, with those verses, Jesus took it even further with "Bless those who curse you, pray for those who persecute you," and then when he was on the cross, he said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Also, besides the "blaspheming of the Holy Spirit" most people don't know there's a second unpardonable sin. Unforgiveness. This parable here sums it up:


I realize too, I've wronged people, I've hurt people, I'm not perfect. We all aren't. So thus, I'm not a good enough judge or pillar of righteousness or whatever to take out my revenge on people. This doesn't however, mean you let people walk all over you, and wrong you again and again, just if the action has already happened, it's done, there's nothing you can do about it anymore. There is a distinction, though, you shouldn't take revenge against a person, however, sometimes people need to be stopped if they are doing too much damage with their evil actions, but there's a difference between, say, self defense if someone breaks into your house trying to steal your stuff, versus if you found out someone stole something from your house and you go to his house and shoot him or steal his stuff.

Anyway, to sum it up, forgiveness is the best thing, it's hard as hell, it's not magic either, some Christians have this idea of "declaring" someone forgiven without the repentance (which in Greek I believe means 'change of mind') accompanying it, but it's the best thing for us to do for our own happiness.

I would seek justice but not revenge. Unfortunately my way of seeking justice usually ends up backfiring on me. So it seems that revenge might be the best option but I am never sure what constitutes revenge. If you were bullied what would revenge entail? Trying to bully them back?

Yes, I have a few people written on my hate list. But some aren't a particular person. I would love to take revenge on some of the snooty cows in this small shopping centre where I've gone to before, because they look at me up and down, some giggle and some just give off the impression that says, ''eww what's that ugly weird thing coming into my shop?''

I will f*****g get those c***s back one day, especially those who have giggled at me for.....well, for just being a customer in their shop. They should think themselves lucky they got customers. I would be so happy to see their shops fold up and they be out of work and on the dole. f*****g s**theads I hate them.

I have never wanted to take revenge on anyone.

The best revenge is living well.

I also think that scooters are cool. The problem is that I don't know how to drive. I have a wonderful idea. I can go to Driving School and get my license!

I also agree that religion is a very complex matter. With many different religions in the world, people are bound to have just as many beliefs.

What colour scooter should I get?

Revenge isn't in my values.

i want revenge real bad because people took advantage of me and tried to hurt me just because i was vulnerable and clueless and trusted people i shouldn't and suspected those i should've trusted. i never knew whom to trust. i didn't have friends to protect me. i took chances. my parents didn't exactly go out of their way to protect me...
never mind what i'd like to do to some people. let's just say it's very violent. i don't hate all NTs. my sister and two older nieces are NTs and i love them like crazy and i'm proud of them. i'm not a hateful person but if someone messes with me and pushes me over the edge, i will not be responsible for my actions.
