No, it doesn't. To hate someone implies that you have (or at least should have) some personal knowledge and experience regarding that individual. Calling someone a welfare queen or a racist bigot is a generalization based on opposition to your own views and feelings regarding a behavior, but doesn't imply that you hate someone.

Then basically you are admitting your words mean nothing.

Your words are not backed up with emotion or conviction, it's all just fluff.
 
Invalid poll. People are people. Some are good, some are bad. I don't take where they live into account at all. Good people are good no matter where they live, bad people are bad no matter where they live.

Seems like proof to me you guys have no convictions and are just blowing hot air.

Actually, they do mean something. Just because I'm not an over-emotional child, who sees things in terms of black and white, hate and love, or any other cute pairs of opposites, it does not mean that I have no conviction. If I don't know someone, I have no reason to hate them. If you hate based on blind opinion, then you have some pretty screwed up ideas about the world and reality.

"You are a sub-human, or you're racist, or you're a communist thief, or you are causing the DEATH OF THE EARTH!"

But you're not my enemy. Whatever. Whatevah Whatevah Whatevah.

NO wonder why modern man is so easily controlled and manipulated.
 
Everywhere I go, in this country and others, governments change, traditions change, styles and many things change but people are people.
 
You are all my countrymen. JUst because you have a different political view i could care less about that.

No, it's proof that we're not shallow, unlike... well... some other people, I guess.
 
There could be less of them, by about 6.5 billion. Unless you're talking actual Peeps, in that case, I like the bunnies and the chickies, a package of each color.

I feel the same way about people everywhere. Some are very fortunate and live blessed lives . . . some are just barely hanging on by their fingernails . . . and though we think we can tell the difference? The truth is we usually can't. Life is hard.

When my husband was dying, I had to make a trip 45 minutes from home to get pain medication for him. He could hardly be left alone at that point in his illness, but I had no choice. (I didn't live near family...and there's something in many of us going through that awful experience that we hate reaching out for help.) I'd left the store and was speeding 65 in a 40 going home. I thought I knew where the coppers sat, but I missed one. He pulled me over -- and before he even got to the car, I was sobbing. Just sobbing. The stress. The anguish. The sadness. OMG. He came up to the window, looked at me and said, "Why are you crying so hard?" I said, "....I'm just having a really bad day..." He didn't even ask for my driver's license. He said, "Well, it's about to get a little better. Slow down. Get out of here. And be careful." He never asked "Why??" I will never forget that kindness. Never.

I don't know why I thought of that with this question...but I did. It's one of the reasons I have the utmost respect for LEOs.
 
Maggie, you made me cry. It was a good one, so sincerely, thanks.

I think they should friggin' speak English. They don't have to enunciate like Sir Alec Guiness, but by golly they ought to have functional basic communication skills in it if they're going to stay here very long.
 
I don't like peeps who try to start a fight where one should not exist.



Right Matt?

By the looks of it, I'd say that some are bat sh!t crazy children whose parents should be more responsible than to turn them loose to express their violent thoughts on internet discussion boards.

Others seem just fine, however.
 
Of course they are my countrymen and women...does that mean I have to like them...hell no

Pollution is a huge problem (ecologically), but it is corrupt governments and not individuals who make the largest impact (see also: China, Russia, etc).
