I have seen that you guys often put 'though' at the end of your sentences. What does it mean in those cases ?
'Though' is a synonim for 'however.' It's short for 'athough.'
Off the cuff...
It indicates that the sentence is an exception to inferences that the reader might make based on previous statements.
eg,
I hate cows. I don't hate this cow, though.
Or, it indicates that the sentence is pointing out a notable fact that puts previous statements into context.
eg,
I hate chicken. I'm a vegetarian, though.

Is the meaning of this sentence the same with
"I hate chicken because I'm a vegetarian" ?

Very similar... But I think is like this :
I hate chicken. But have on mind that I am vegetarian.
Am I right ?

'have on mind' means 'remember' or 'note', right ?
if so, i think using 'but' in this sentence is not appropriate
