CUZ THAT'S HOW WE DO...


In all honesty though, what you see as hate I see as hilarious. Why make fun of everyone? Cuz it's fucking funny, that's why. You may be appalled when you hear me make a joke about a gay black peg-legged jew but you gasping is making the joke even funnier.

See, while we are making fun of the person in the joke, we're more so making fun of the people annoyed by said joke. Pretty simple concept. While it may be racist (or sexist, or anti-gay, country or everything else) it's actually telling political correctness to fuck off. I do like black people but so many good jokes are about them. I actually have plenty of black friends and you know what? They're worse then I am. And they make fun of everybody, not just each other.

Like I said before, that's how we do.
Oh, and all the liberal I know are wusses (and are usually very PoliCorrect) and such so I don't like them. And being anti-arms isn't going to endear you to me either.

I know a black guy who deals and steals shit. He also loves fried chicken, chocolate milk, watermelons and is incredibly good at basketball.
You just described most of my black friends. Nice. And I have quite a few. And people wonder where these stereotypes come from.

I hate become sometimes I just get built up anger and hating on something that is meaningless makes me feel better on the inside.

And to answer your questions:

1) Because they acted like pricks
2) I don't.
3) They are forcing overdone political correctness into society. Otherwise I don't.
4) Because you touch yourself at night.

Because they're the sort of people who don't mind deliberately causing people trouble when the people don't necessarily deserve it.
But what does hating achieve? I think the point was that hating something doesn't change anything. Either you have a legitimate reason, which means you have a non-hate reason to try and stop/hinder/prevent action/person/thing 'X' from doing whatever it is you consider worthy of hate; or you do not have a legitimate reason, in which case there is no reason to hate them.

It would seem more reasonable to figure out why you hate them, put your emotions to the side, and reduce it to the less intense, but potentially more practical "I disagree with their/its ideals/consequences, and therefore feel it is important that, when given the opportunity, work towards a more beneficial and less harmful ideal/consequence."

Why does it need to achieve anything? It's just an emotion. I have a reason and for that reason I hate them. What is the benefit in reducing it to a less intense emotion? How is it at all more practical? Hating doesn't require action, it's simply the intensity of how much I dislike it.
Because it is irrational; more so than other emotions. You gain absolutely nothing from hatred. It is dark and twisted, and taints anything it touches. The only thing I can see hating without alternative[footnote]Meaning you cannot justify a substitute emotion, or in some way re-interpret the subject to be anything less than hated[/footnote] is someone being a colossal, genocidal dick yet also being intelligent enough to not be that way through brainwashing or sociopathy. In other words, someone deriving pleasure and satisfaction from the detriment of others for no other reason than they are a despicable creature; not because their species is unavoidably genocidal, or that they had abusive parents, or they have a genetic predisposition to all things hateful and cruel, or any other explanation that could be reasoned for.

In any case but that, whether a lesser extreme or reasonable circumstance, it can be self-reasoned down to pity, or a rational opposition. I can honestly say I do not hate anyone, because I can always find a reason people behave the way they do, even if it is as simple as "They are a selfish greedy bastard".

We need that so that we can distract ourselves from our worries and/or shitty lives.

I don't like hating things. I mean, really hating, not in a 'this fictional character annoys me', which can be fun.

But I really hate it when people lie or misrepresent things because they want the facts to support their point of view, or are too lazy to find out what the truth is.

I don't really hate individul people (although some honestly disgust me), but I hate the things some people do.

How is it irrational? Just saying "You gain nothing from it" does not suddenly make it irrational. Not all things need to be gained from. Nor is your personal reasoning convincing on its own. I can understand it, but I don't see why I should accept that as the only rational reason to hate things.

But why should it be brought down? You haven't answered what it would gain me. It seems odd to throw that hate gains me nothing as a point while not answering what your alternative gains me.
I think a decent analogy would be alcohol. If I want to do something outrageous and stupid, I can do it without alcohol, and if I need alcohol to do something stupid, I obviously do not want to be doing something stupid. The same can be said for anger. If I believe it is the better of two evils to hurt someone, I don't need anger to do it, and if I need anger to do it, it must not be justified. Hate is pretty much identical to anger, except I'd wager that it is more likely to be based on theoreticals and generals, rather than isolated instances. So down-grading allows for you to be more rational and clear-headed, meaning any hate-fuelled decision you would have made would be made (or rejected) based on greater reasoning, rather than the impulse of a destructive emotion like hate.

So I consider it more productive and beneficial to avoid destructive or stupid emotions/states of mind so that a more rational decision can be made.

Why not ? We have around 70-100 years to spend on this planet and then it's nothingness. So, really, why not since no matter what we do have exact same importance ?

Hate can come about by knowing too little or knowing too much of the wrong things about something. It can apply to everything from vague social constructs to supposedly concrete political/religious ideas.

It'd be pretty boring if everyone liked everything. I love having a good ***** an moan. I love smiling and laughing more, but I feel better after complaining about something I don't like.
We're programmed to like and dislike different sutff. No point questioning it.

People hate things because they strongly disagree with them. I think that pretty much covers it. Not all people openly express their hate (most rational people).

Hate is a natural human emotion.

Rather than asking "Why do you hate something?", you should be asking "Why do you let your hate out in such a vocal manner? Why do you let your own feelings towards something bother you so much?".
