i just read a bunch of posts replying to H2O being happy about mr. atkin's death, and it reminded me of one of my past xanga posts:

i hate you!

i assume that my readers, by this time in life, has relized one cannot be loved by all people. take this time now to think of sumone yu don't like, or even hate. think about why yu feel the way yu do. "because he's so stupid!" is not a reason to dislike sumone. the two main causes of hatred is jealousy or betrayal.

yu don't dislike him because he lights his cigar with a 100 dollar bill for his lack of appreciation for money. yu dislike him because yu can't do the same thing.

now, if yu were the one that gave him the 100 dollar bill, and he lights his cigar with it. the element of dislike comes from a type of betrayal.

above is just an example of the possible source of hatred, but the same idea can be applied to almost any type of hatred towards one person, a group of people, an animal, etc.

i use the word, almost, in the paragraph above because there is a third, rare, source of hatred. like when peter parker's uncle gets killed by the robber. there is no element of jealousy or betrayal there. this is wut i call pure hatred. it exists, but it is not common.

just a thought.

I disagree.

Hatred is often overused; I personally believe that I truly hate only two people, neither of whom have ever been close enough to me to betray me nor have any characteristics that appear enviable to me.

My hatred stems only from the way they conduct themselves and their lack of reasoning. Yes, this is basically the "I hate them because they're stupid" that you say is not a good reason to hate someone. I believe that it's a perfectly acceptable reason to hate people; much more acceptable than hating them out of envy or for any other reason like ethnic/racial or religious hatred. Envying others, to me, is pointless, and therefore should not be a good reason for hating someone.

Betrayal - yeah, I'll agree with that.

I think that everyone's different values and characteristics make it too hard to generalize when it comes to why people hate others. People will probably hate whatever characteristics are most in conflict with their own (though this is not always the case).

i just think hate is a strong word that is thrown around too freely and people say it without realizing the meaning of hate..i dont think i hate anybody, theres people i dont like and who get on my nerves and stuff .. but i dont ever tell people i hate em, i used to when i was little, cuz i didnt udnerstand..shows whoever uses it now for stupid reasons like "i hate you because youre stupid" which i DO think is an inappropriate reason to hate someone, is pretty immature...

Also, hate can mean different things to different people. To you it may seem incorrectly used but to others it may seem correct.

Hate DOES mean different things to different people, and not everything is like that.

Most things are easily defineable, but when you go to the extremes like love and hate, you cannot say that there is one definition for it and one reason for it. Why do you love someone? Because they're nice to you, because they're good people? Those answers are too limiting because they don't explain why you'd love one nice, good person but not another. Similarly, being jealous of someone doesn't necesesarily mean that you'll hate them; it simply depends on the type of person you are.

I don't really get jealous too often, I really find it pointless. Therefore, that definition does not apply to me.

No one has betrayed me (to the point where I hold it against them to this day anyway), so that part, while it may apply to me in the future, does not apply to me right now. But I do agree that it is often the cause of hatred.

Some people believe that you have to have loved someone at one point in time in order to truly develop a hatred for them. I personally don't agree with that either, though I don't discredit it entirely. I could never hate anyone that I love, because I'd know why I loved the person in the first place.

I think hatred can be coupled or associated with any strong emotion, be it love, anger, or anything in between.

Hum well you didn't REALLY disprove Henford yet, not in a way that makes sense to me yet:


I don't really have an opinion, I just thought that pasting a link with an ambiguous argument... just plain sucked.

The link contains a counter-example.
If there is a set out definition that has to be accepted by everyone it does not rule out the possibility of alternate definitions.
What is this definite definition?
And this is permanent for which fellow?
Does it jest suck o dear MellowYellow?

wut the hell did yu just say?

There's nothing odd about his post other than that one line thrown in there that's not in iambic pentameter.

Well you know what. Now I hate you Alchemist.

How's that? I hate you because I just do. PURE HATRED.

Henford said:

The two main causes.. doesn't mean they're the only ones.

But Alchemist, you even agreed that Hatred is different to different people... so how are you, Alchemist, with utmost confidence definiing it? And what WAS your exact purpose of citing the dictionary if you point was that "hate" means something different to anyone? I just didn't see how you citing the dictionary helped to further your first comment/argument. I think your motive was not actually arguing on the topic.. i think you were just trying to disprove henford for the sake of it. Therefore... according to ME... it sucked. . Your comment meant "different things to different people."

HATE.

- I think you were referring to my creative writing topic with the iambic pentameter bit. I resent you for poking fun at that. Even though it was for a school assignment, there was truth in it.

im just gonna restate. your're confusing something else with hate. hate is an extreme and is often wrongly used to describe a simple annoyance. if yu still think otherwise, provide a counter-example for me.

i used the man lighting a cigar with money for my examples of the types of hate. name people yu hate that is not for a reason i have stated. tell us why yu hate them. that would be a counter-example.
