Current mood:

annoyed

Ya know.. I have something I feel the urge to bitch about. :o As a person, I do not have many things I absolutely cannot stand or like, also known as 'hating' something. I'm really not picky.. but there is one thing I *do* hate and that is in fact the word 'hate' itself. I'm serious. If there was one word that I would stomp out of existance, that would be the one. I despise this word bc when I think of 'hate' I think of death or killing or destroying something as completely as possible. As you might guess (correctly) I am also rather annoyed by its over use and abuse by some people on the internet who think that having a list of 'hates' on their profiles makes them cool.. or something.

I will simply use the US as an example since it's where I'm from and well, we do get picked on a lot bc of the manyyy contreversial things that those in power decide the 'entire country' wants to do. :coughgotowarcough: So anyway, I don't even want to think about how many times I've seen 'America(ns)/US' on these self proclaimed 'haters' lists. Put simply and flatly.. I just do not get it, I cannot comprehend IT. It is soooooo far beyond my ability to precieve that I just kind of stare blankly back at the screen. This hatred of an entire country, its customs and most importantly its people (all of whom I'm sure these ppl have never met, and how can you hate someone passionately w/o having known they exist at all? Can we say hypocrisy?!!) is revolting and repulsive to me. I suppose it's worth mentioning that most of the US haters I've seen are European, if that makes any difference. I do not see how one can logically hate an entire country or race if you have a. never been there, b. tried to live there and be part of the society and c. have not met every single person in the country (bc let's face it, I bet you could find at LEAST one person you could be super best friends with in any country). I also hope these people realize that a. following the above logic, hating an entire country makes you look extremely ignorant, b. it also makes you a racist and bigot which is sooooooo not politically correct these days and c. this same kind of 'hate' thinking is what has lead to genocides and 'ethnic cleansings', aka the murder of thousands of Jews, Gypsies, Chinese and so forth in some of the most well known genocides of WWII.

Yes, World War II. Thousands of people died bc idiots like you thought it was cool to hate a large number of people without even really knowing them. You make me sick. Personally, I don't hate anyone. I don't think anyone's worth the effort and energy it would take me to hate them passionately. I really don't care if you want to go on 'hating' the US bc McD's is evil and Wal-mart is the largest corporation in the world or even if you want to hate another country. Just be prepared to be treated like the idiot you are and for me to have very little patience with you.

'Maybe I'll hate everyone with black hair.. Now what bitch? Aren't I cooler than you bc now I can hate people from eeeeeeeevery country simultaniously!' Really now, this is the same thing only dumbed down to show how ridiculous generalizing and hating a large group *IS*.
