Yeah, everyone hates everyone else who's a little different from themselves. It's kind of sad don't you think.
Sigh,

Fact is, hatred is a choice just like everything else. We are weak when we do wrong. If things weren't such, and we we're inherently conditioned to unconsciencly commit cruel acts, people would commit such drastic acts upon themselves just as often as not. We would be dropping off like fly's in suicides.
It's weak bullshit. Everything you do , you do by choice. It's called responsibilty.

Thanks for the info and responses people.
I have the personality and people skills of a retarded home-schooled kid.

In the words of the activist Daniel O'Connell, writing from Ireland in 1843: "Over the broad Atlantic I pour forth my voice, saying, come out of such a land, you Irishmen; or, if you remain, and dare countenance the system of slavery that is supported there, we will recognize you as Irishmen no longer."
