So, who do you hate,destest and abhor?

I have hated two people in my adult life and none of them are A2K members.

One was my uncle who, I am certain, murdered my father and then leeched of my alcoholic mother (his sister) for ten years until she literally froze to death because he couldn't be bothered to earn the house, car and weekly stipend she provided him and check up on her on.

The other was a woman I worked with who tried, unsuccessfully, to destroy my career, and by extension my life. No, sex played no part in the matter unless it had to do with the fact that I laughed out loud once at a pathetic
attempt to be seductive...with someone other than me.

My uncle, died an agonizing death due to cancer.

My co-worker lost her job and custody of her child.

Karma

I didn't feel even a tiny bit of sympathy for either of them, which tells me I really hated them.

Hatred, like love is very powerful, and we use the terms quite casually.

There isn't anyone in this forum who could remotely evoke hatred in me, and if there was I would confront them rather than gossip about them.

As a "community" we seem fascinated about "Ignore" lists, and sharing which members or how many we have on our own.

I have had two members on "ignore," but more because they became tiresome than anything else. They are both off the list, by the way. One seems to have moved on and the other will, I'm sure, again prove too tiresome to endure, and again warrant "ignore."

I agree with you, finn, about the hating. I don't ignore out of hatred. Just making my a2k experience more to my idealized expectations.

I forgot about one person, my uncle; he’s my father’s younger brother. Detest the man! Haven’t seen him in five years and really don’t care if I ever do see him again, I won’t get into why. He’s just a greedy evil SOB!

Morgan, I don't mean to offend u,
but with all respect: if u call your uncle an SOB,
the logic of that is that u r thereby calling your grandmother a dog,
and u r characterizing all of her progeny. I am sure that u did not mean to do that.

I just thought I 'd point that out. ( I hope u won't get mad.)

@OmSigDAVID,

Hate is such a strong word.

Does it not breed negativity? And does that not give us anger?

People are who they are. We can't change them. We can look at them and see that they are not what "we" agree with.. We do not believe in their thoughts or actions.

But, the bottom line is, negativity destroys... Just accept and let go and know they are someone you don't want to know, let in, or allow to be there and only associate with positive people.

This anger, grudges, non-acceptance only hurts, angers right?

So why let them win?

It puzzles me that u rely upon that source for information qua your own emotions.
Don 't u have DIRECT mental observation of your own emotions,
the same way that u know when u have a toothache or when u feel HAPPY ??

The most impassioned hatreds of my life were against the Kennedys,
because I believed that as a result of their liberal failures to defend
adequately from the communists, in time, communist tanks 'd come
cranking down my street and that I 'd need to put a gunshot into
my mother 's head and then into my own, unless I wanted to take
my chances in fighting hopeless odds against the communists.

I suspected that the Kennedys, and the other liberals
with whom thay surrounded themselves, harbored a secret love of communist slavery.

Every nite was hell, watching the news during the Kennedy Administration.
There was no end of ineffably egregious offenses and indignities against Americanism.

My point is that I very, very clearly felt that passion in my gut,
so intensely -- it was unhealthy. I 'm lucky I didn't get apoplexy.

At the end of November of 1963, my friends were asking me
if I just got back from Dallas; thay ALL knew how I felt.

Find Abuzz, it perplexes me that anyone does not
have full and direct knowledge of his passionate emotions.

Will u be good enuf to explain
how this doubt, this uncertainty, this lack of knowledge can EXIST ?

Note that in service to the idea of good mental hygiene:
I have abandoned my hatred of the Kennedys
(tho I still don't think much of them, along with Marx, Engles, Hitler,
Mussolini n Jeff Dahmer)

@FOUND SOUL,

I agree with u 1OO%, FS. U r right.

See my response to Find Abuzz (directly above)
for more on this point, with greater specificity.

When I heard the emotional hatred against Clinton,
I did not join in that, tho I voted against him
and I disapproved of him. I 'd already been down that road
concerning the Kennedys. It 'd be too burdensome to do it AGAIN.

Now, I know that it is better to take a light-hearted vu
and do whatever is possible within the law to help the situation.

I certainly don't hate any A2K member, although I've found at least two (whom I shall not identify) to be extremely rude, close-minded, and intolerant, if not hypocritical as well. I also don't hate the two whom I am about to identify.

I put Fido on "Ignore" because of his anti-Semitic views. I've now done the same to reasoning logic (the exclamation point guy) because he's let us know that he's a fan of David Duke (who, incidentally, went to the trouble of traveling to Russia, once the Communist Party had fallen from power, to encourage Russian anti-Semites -- who have a rather long, tragic history, indeed). I'm not Jewish, but I won't give anti-Semites the time of day. Trying to reason with an anti-Semite is a waste of time. They make some of the most ridiculous, vicious claims I've ever heard, such as the outrageous lie that the Jewish people (as opposed to individuals) have supported Communism. Incidentally, the person who hurt me the most in my life (even more than any of the bullies who physically assaulted me when I was in my preteens) is an egregiously incompetent clincial psychologist who happens to be a Jew. So, should I therefore be anti-Semitic? Of course, not. That would be stupid.

Wow dave, you really bought into some wacky propaganda didn't you. I guess you should count yourself lucky no one was handing out koolaid during those years...

@OmSigDAVID,

I was fairly sure my hate was genuine before they experience death or misfortune, but I was certain when, upon learning of their karmic debt paid off, I felt no compassion for them at all.

I could casually pop off that I hate Obama, but I don't. If he were to lose his family or life, I would fell compassion for him. If he loses his job, I will be ecstatic but that has more to do with love of country than hate of him.

@wmwcjr,

After Reasoning Logic's performance yesterday, i was tempted to put someone on ignore for the first time. But i can ignore him without help. To your list of rabid antisemites you can add Talk72000.

@Setanta,

RL believes that he "is" full of reasoning and logic. Ive seen a pattern in his stupid clips that seem to incite me from incredulity to disgust. Ive learned that, while spendi can be a total dickhead, at least hes fun. Not so RL.

@farmerman,

Well, and the other aspect of his constant video spamming is that he never expresses opinions of his own, he never makes a case and attempts to defend it.

When i saw that antisemitic crap, i was disgusted, and then when you mentioned David Duke, and i went back to watch the beignning of the vid, that was pretty much the last straw. I only regret that i continued to speak to him for a couple of posts.

I hadn't thought about who or what I was missing by using ignore.

Just went and checked - nothing at all really! Just some drivel I don't need.

I put myself on ignore, simply because I wanted to.

I did not imply that anyone TOLD me that.
No one did. I just saw how nite after nite,
endlessly the Reds were winning the 3rd World War
and we were doing very little to resist. Over those years a lot of
Kennedy's advisors gave forth with stuff that sounded not just "soft"
on communism, but that thay were on the other side.
It was hellish to watch the news on TV every nite.
There was a saying; it sounded humorous, but it was serious and dangerous:
the Kennedy Administration's foreign policy was friendship toward the "neutralists";
neutrality toward our (Red) enemies;
and hostility toward our friends.

HOW can there be any room for doubt on that point??
U have direct and intimate experience with your emotions.

Can there possibly be such a thing as a false emotion?
Is that possible??
I can miscalculate when crunching numbers
or when organizing strategy, but not in knowing that
I 'm experiencing love, fear, hate, etc.
Is it POSSIBLE for a man to reach the conclusion that:
"O, I thought that I was afraid of yadda, yadda, yadda"
but I 've discovered that I really was not afraid"?????

or the same thing as applied to hate?????
If u believe that it is,
I 'd be grateful for your explaining how that can be.

Its too much work to hate.
I don't wanna be bothered with it.
I 'm not gonna repeat my emotional experience with the Kennedys.

I 'd be indifferent;
the same as statistics of traffic accidents.
He 's not my friend. I don 't admire him.

Hopefully, we 'll get a decent Republican replacement; that does not mean Romney the fake.
