Do you hate?

"All that hate will burn you up, kid."

"It keeps me warm!"

Red Dawn?

I have long believed that a human body can only hold enough hate for one person without being turned bitter.

My one person is David Wilganoski. I look forward to reading his obituary with great anticipation. When I was (much) younger and apparently naive, a 'friend' from high school showed up at my apartment and said he needed a place to sleep and store his things while he looked for another apartment, and if I let him sleep on my couch for a week or so and store his stuff he would pay half my rent as long as he was there. I thought "A week? A week is fine."

Two months later when I finally got rid of him, he took my girlfriend and two of my checkbooks with him and he forged $7,000 of bad debt in my name.

I still hate him and wish him dead twenty-three years later. But I have mellowed over time. Given the chance I would still kill him, but I wouldn't necessarily torture him first now.
 
What if someone stole your custom Pedulla? What if someone destroyed your custom Pedulla?

Depends on the motive. If my brother knocked over my custom Pedulla by accident, I'd be pissed, but I wouldn't hate him. But anyone who stole a bass needs to know it's worth something. It's not just a matter of "I might sell this and feed my family."

You pretty much have to know you'll make a buck. Pain is in order.
 
I never hated until fairly recently. I presumed myself incapable of hate, a real hippie at heart. My dad died, and a while after, my mom started dating: She's really needy, she needs the support of another person at all times, I can't blame her. BUT, she's gone through a few men, all of which I've gone from liking, to tolerating for her benefit.

New man comes around, Dr. Phil lookin' mother ****er. Hate him, zero personality, treats his children like garbage (but that's OK, because he acts like a saint around my brothers), and most importantly: Started spreading FALSE RUMORS about my brother, my girlfriend, and I (we live together). Long long long story, but he attempted to tear apart my family, and that is an unforgivable offense. Worse part, my mom knows about it, and doesn't want to have to go through the inconvenience of breaking up with him and dating again. She admitted she's settling, and she doesn't care. The longer she's with him, the less likely it is they'll break up, and more likely that they'll get married.

I don't care if I'm a bad son: She broke my heart settling for a piece of **** like this guy, I'll break her heart by not attending the wedding if and when it happens.

You can stab me in the back, just don't **** with my family.

Child abuse, rape and murder are perfectly acceptable reasons to wish death upon a person, and perfectly acceptable reasons to end a person's life as a punishment.



Oh yeah, and I agree with this too. Not a specific person I hate, but those who abuse/rape, all they do is create another generation of people with severe mental problems (in some cases, not all). And to reiterate from the other thread, animal torture fills me with hatred.
 
Yup..
