Have you got a dark passenger?

I've been watching Dexter recently and been wondering what people's thoughts are on vigilante justice. Is it ever a good thing?

I also wondered if I am a wierdo for thinking this or if every normal man thinks it at some stage "Wouldn't it be cool to be batman"...

The thought then tails off into, well I could be but I don't have time, or the skills or the money. Yeah that's it "I would be batman if I had all that money - that's the only thing stopping me".

Come on - we have all thought it! Haven't we?

A manager at a major company I used to work for got sacked for describing an Asian salesman as a "chocolate soldier". Is that similar to a dark passenger?

If I believed in lol I may have used it then - although technically I didn't lol. I had an interior chuckle.

I spend my life thinking of ways to kill people who have wronged me. It's why I like Dexter so much.

Yes, and yes it is as it stops others getting hurt.

Dexter fan here. Dark passenger, maybe? Not explored it - yet!

Er, and have you read the books?

Evil thoughts are fun sometimes if you don't let them have free rein.

Did have a dark passenger - but it was exorcised late last year.

I know I'm showing my age, but what's Dexter?

A great show on FX about a serial killer who only kills bad guys.

ITV1 used to show the repeats but quietly dropped it after 2nd series!!! Luckily FX (Holland) is ahead of FX (UK) so i use FX (UK) as a catch-up!!!
