Throwing around the H word

you know, this may be the first thing I agree with you on.

I don't like people that hate.

I hate Monday mornings and hangovers.

Hate sucks, though, doesn't it? It always makes me feel icky when I hate something or someone. It's not a very pretty emotion.

Hate to me invokes feelings of bitterness, revenge, violence, and unforgiveness. Dislike? Is generally something that I am able to get over or at least, pushing aside because it's not worth my time. Sorry that you feel this way, though. Both feelings really do suck.

dharma and NickyG, I'm with you gals. There is a difference between love and like. There is a difference between dislike and hate. You can feel dislike without feeling hate or malice. Maybe that is too subtle for you but it is pretty blatant to me. Also, for the record, I don't share JeremyG's feelings but I do see a difference between him saying he doesn't like a group as opposed to him hating them.

I see the difference between hate and not liking, but I don't see how one can be justified while the other can't be. After all, what's wrong with hating a group that's all right with not liking one?

Without Hating you cant really appreciate Love...

I dont care what you hate... but you have to hate something. Its funny how the two certainly aren't mutually exclusive.

I make sense to me, but i fear i may have lost the masses with that non-sensical rambling.

BAM!!!

God hated 7 things. Just so you know.

I agree with your article Urban Faery. "Don't like" does seem like a soft way of saying hate to me. If JeremyG really wasn't prejudiced, he wouldn't be saying that he "dislikes" certain groups of people.

Exactly! I really enjoyed your post about JeremyG. I found it strange that since I took a bit of a different satirical approach to dealing with how upset his post made me, I barely got any comments, yet all kinds of people ended up attacking you.

Well I am a well known and hated person on Wincustomize.com and the Stardock IRC chat rooms. Also, my satirical style might have been daring, or it could be I'm being singled out for attack because I am the infamous Tech Cat. I have even heard one theory that my article is really an anti-semitic article disguised as satire. How ridiculous is that? My article's clear intention was to make fun of JeremyG for his possible anti-semitism and was a way of dealing with my anger over what JeremyG said.

Don't you hate pants?

Urban I will be happy to agree with this article you beautiful filly

Have you ever seen a picture of me? (Or does my beauty just shine through my words?)

No I have never seen a picture of you but you write in a very self confident way so I presume you are good looking - I could be wrong?

send me your picture to [email protected]

Well obviously beauty is subjective, and I don't like to sond conceited, but I'm not ugly.

I agree with Weisel......energy is required to both love and hate ......indifference requires nothing at all
