The Hate Post

Postby GrimIronMan » November 9th, 2006, 9:29 pm

Just go on, post things you hate!

No, neither me or this thread count.

As for me: People who force their beliefs on someone. Whether it be vegans, religous people, or anything (no offense to vegans or religous people.) I'm talking about people, lets use vegans, for instance, who walk up to you while I was eating meat in a buffet (I kid you not), and they walked over to me and gave me a long, boring speech about how eating this piece of meat was going to drive cows to extinction and how if I kept eating, that I should realize I was murdering so many cows just by eating meat. I almost wanted to shove it down his throat and watch him squirm in disgust :twisted: .

Also, crazy religous people. Quote from an email I got (also mentioned on snopes.com):

Target Stores have decided to ban the words "Merry Christmas" in their stores starting this holiday season. Please sign this petition, which is about this important issue. The American Family Association is calling for a national boycott of Target Stores on the day after Thanksgiving (the busiest shopping day of the year), please join in...do not shop at Target! Let's get the message across that you cannot take Christ out of Christmas, even if you are trying to hide the very words Merry Christmas!


Seriously, what the hell? They didn't "ban" the words. They just didn't use the word "Christmas". They used "holidays". There is more than one religion, folks. "Let's boycott Target because they said 'Happy Holidays!' instead of 'Merry Christmas', even though they might be Jewish, or Muslim, it's obvious that my beliefs should surpass theirs, because (Choose: Christianity is better or I am the customer)."

No offense was meant in this post. :?

In the Uk we have this thing called Guy Fawkes Night...

"Remember Remember the Fifth of November,
Gunpowder Treason and plot......" Its a "great?!!" British Tradition

I hate the fifth of November as its an excuse for crazy teenagers in the UK to purchase and throw random fireworks around whilst drinking huge amounts of beer.

I think you can see why I hate it? :roll:

I hate when people are really bent on wishing me a happy Chanukah and not a merry Christmas just because I'm Jewish. Chanukah is a minor holiday that is pretty boring, to be honest. And I would love to have a merry Christmas. Besides, a lot of people who say, "Wait, you're Jewish, so happy Chanukah!" forget that the Jewish calendar is lunar, and so half of the time, Chanukah is already over.

I hate any abuse of power. Corrupt cops, the Mafia, greedy politicians, religious leaders who make it a sin to disagree, parents who mistreat their kids... a lot of things really get to me, but I've found that 90% of them fall under the broad heading of "abuse of power".

A word about sin:

Sin is acting in such a way that you show you do not love your neighbor as much as you love your self, and that you do not love God. That is all the Judeo-Christian law in its entirety. You may perform any act you can conceive as long as it demonstrates love for all of your neighbors. Now when pastors and preachers specify certain acts as being non-loving and are speaking to rein in bad behavior are they abusing or using. The guilty coscience always seems to rationalize his rebuke. The town prostitute is justified in calling you a sinner when you pay her just as is the nun who may see you in your sin. A verbal rebuke for sin is a warning sent from God calling you to repentance. Just as the part of your post decries corrupt police, gangsters and elected officials and thus warns them of their sin, the religious leader of every stripe warns every sinner.

The sermon does not make the sin
The human heart that lurks within
Moves the hand to smite
And the sinner to fight
The rebuke than calls him to enter in.

God bless you and keep you in peace.
Consider the dog, he toils not,... but Solomon, with all his wisdom, did not get to sleep on the sofa all day.

Their definition of "bad behavior" can get pretty broad. I was referring to the way you're made to feel like less of a Believer if you have different values or priorities than the preacher, as if the preacher is so in-tune with God that to disagree with him is a sin.
I don't go to church anymore so I'm not in a position where I need to listen to an "authority's" judgement; my own conscience is all the guidance I need to know whether I'm on the right path or not.

Sin is a loaded word. I don't like it. I keep it out of my vocabulary for the most part. It's not so much Judeo-Christian as it is Christian, at least today. I hadn't even heard of original sin until I was about 13 years old. It was because I went to a baptism, and not because I was writing my D'var Torah about Genesis.

I hate when people talk about their religions as if they were truth when they're nothing more than opinions pretty much based on nothing. I freely admit that there's no evidence to point towards any sort of higher being, and yet I go to services regularly. I see no conflict.

Whoa. The 'hate' post kinda fell into religion. Religion, for me, is actually one of my top five 'hates,' along with beauracracy, and politics. All three have been bloated WAY beyond what's useful. Yes, i agree that religion has a purpose - to scare or entice the individuals of a group/society to follow the 'normal' path. However, when it gets loaded down with tradition, it becomes unbound from the society as a whole, and rules that may make sense several centuries ago, may not any longer. And, with nothing but fuzzy evidence of some higher conciousness, and an almost insanely egotistical view that of ALL the planets in all the galaxies, it would be interested in *us,* makes me wary of the whole religion thing. Maybe when they start making sense, i'll come back.

Sorry, folks, if i've stepped on some toes, but that's my opinion. I'm interested in hearing other opinions, though. I'm not close-minded, just skeptical.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

It's just interesting to me that the vast majority of destruction(if not all) in the history of man has been because of someone hating something or someone without much or any understanding of that which they hate. If I must.. I choose to understand that which leads to the creation of more hate.. ignorance.. injustice.. inflexibility.. etc. as I develop my ability to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.(a.k.a. a mantra entitled "the serenity prayer")

Postby Ceot » April 23rd, 2007, 4:44 pm

I hate all those retards who want to pass off all the responsibility
for the Virginia slaying to the parents and video games.
Stupid old gray haired counselor was saying.
We just leave them alone, you cant really save them all.
If only the parents would be more concerned.

Stupid old bat needs a mastectomy.
I don't care if she's old,
you know she wouldn't make for a good parent herself.

If only these stupid counselors would really ask if your ok.
Or people try and help those walking shadows in the back drop.
Just because your walking on aces don't mean I can keep up,
when all I get are these numbers...


Here's a thought.
either give the kids a vest that inflates full of foam with a nomex exterior,
Because it may just stop a bullet when it here's gun fire.
Have it inflate like an air bag does.

Or have the balls to finally go over and ask the kid
W.T.F you scary little bitch?
Something on your mind......

Cause honestly no peace of sh&^ p,c game really teaches
you how to aim rite.
So less the little bugger took months to practice on real life targets.
He would have missed most of those shots.

That means they had how F*^ing long to deal with this???

Who gets the blame their though?
My f*c&ing video games, and guns for being so deadly.

After that bull about making the N word illegal.
These pansy fanatics get poor imus fired.

Oh god forbid any one gets mad at those two air heads.
Not like he wasn't a little presumptuous with the duke case.
Or that if it wasn't his little girl on the basketball team
would he honestly give a f*&k...

Its insane that he didn't even say the N word.
Less the word is Nappy headed...

That's rite ladies and gentle man.
you just fired a guy over calling a basketball team nappy headed.
But you know what?

One of the country singers he widely supports is African American.
So figure that one out...
And seriously what would you expect from a
crotchety old Howard stern clone?...

Its not like he was going to give them any respect regardless of race.
And to be honest the reverends daughter needs to have her hair down if she's going to play.
I mean after looking at the video....

As for me i,m proud to call those two
African American people simply American.
The ones on the news debating if the N word should be illegal.
At the end they both said it was a step back wards,
and just moved on.

Those people are equals to me.

But now I have to deal with these rite wing retards.
trying to make stricter gun laws, and start trying to bad
violent video games again....

So you know what I hate....
I hate protagonists, who never really deal with anything.

I mean god forbid we stop looking at Anna Nicole like a side show.
Say, aww poor baby is totally screwed no matter who gets it.

Or actually see a news caster cry when their watching the faces
pass by the screen of the 30 dead kids.

Or that I don't hear some stupid half @$$ joke after
watching some soldier gets home in a box.
His family rite their sobbing away.

I hate how I cant go out onto a stage and scream all this.
Just let it all out...

The truth is thus: What is termed evil is simply a failure to empathize. Intolerance, say, of different faiths, nationalities, ethnicities, or gender? all evil. Greed? evil. Envy? evil. No matter where you look, the cause is the same - a failure to empathize with others.

That's what i hate. Just my two cents.

Oh, you mean something that's had dozens (if not hundreds) of studies conducted proving its effects? Yeah, we'll fall for anything these days!

The real threat is muslim.


That doesn't even make gramatical sense.
Do you mean the real threat is a Muslim? As in, just one?
Or that the real threat is Islam, the religion?
Or that the real threat is Islamic, as in, of an Islamic nature?

Because the first two are just retarded, and the third one, I can at least see where you're coming from. Except that as ever with religion, the problems are caused by extremists who won't tolerate others' viewpoints and distort the religion to their own ends.

Watch this video:
http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=UBDgUdbLU9k

I stumbled on this video a little time ago, where as you can see some stupid truckers risked a lot people's lives. Not like ive got nothing against trucks, trucks rule, dumbass people driving trucks suck. Anyway ... :P

After a few days, this video was broadcast on the national news. They presented the video as the risks "of drinking and driving" (without any proof), and that it happened "somewhere in south Germany".

If they made the effort of reading the comments, or even sacrifice their time to do some google maps search, they could have figured out that it happened "somewhere in SERBIA" and that they have missed for more than 1000 km. Good work brainwashing the people, folks.

Totally agree with that. Answer then that 70% of everyday products that they use, even not food, have animal origins. Even their wallets have horse glue. If that doesnt make them vomit, at least that will shut their mouths up.

Now the right thing to do in this situation is to continue to eat your meat throughout the speech, getting increasingly more apparent in your enjoyment of it, ending in near-orgasmic moans of pleasure.

As for myself...A lot of things already posted in this thread outline it pretty well. The whole vegan-speech thing tends to piss me off. At one point I extremely disliked religion, but have since grown more accepting. Fire-and-Brimstone preaching, however, is another matter. I do, however, hate some other things.
1. I hate birds singing in the morning (fuckers wake me up in the summer)
2. I hate sunny days (Not some vampire-emo-fag, just enjoy clouds).
3. I hate Soulja Boy.
4. I hate overly-sensitive people.
5. I hate putting cutlery away (don't even know how this one developed)
6. I hate excessive use of internet acronyms.
7. I hate people who refer to bands as if they were people's names.
8. I hate people, who, when asked what their favorite Pink Floyd song is, reply "We Don't Need No Education".
9. Ditto of above, except with Led Zeppelin and "Stairway To Heaven" (I don't care what anyone say, the song is good, but there are better songs. MUCH better songs.
10. I HATE Soulja Boy.
11. I hate Scientology.
12. I hate every "Scary Movie" after the first.

And that's all I can think of at the moment.

Dear Friends,
I do not belong to any church. I do not hate God the Father. Like some, I hate organizations that point out what is right and wrong. Like others I hate seeing members of some churches, some at least, point fingers, declaring they and only they had the golden way to Heaven. There are plenty of churches that read certain Bible Scriptures, close The Bible then ramble on. While rambling they tell what they believe a partial sentence to mean. In the face of the hypocrisy God gets a bad name. I do not hate God. I sometimes wonder why God does not hate me. Am I concerned with joining some church? NO! Have I seen more souls soured from hypocrisy than saved? YES! I just hate them for being self-righteous in their self-righteousness.
Sincerely,
Haxsaw

Just a note on this no offense is intended but the idea of original is one of man's and a tool of organized religion to guilt trip. Some of verses that decry against original sin are
Deuteronomy 24:16 - http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+24:16&version=NKJV
