What's with all the hatred?

Okay, you didn't offend me. You were annoying me with your condescending tone. I get accused of being pompous. So, I guess we're even. What I was trying to say was I think that your generalization is flawed. For example, I hate the fact that my hand was permanently disfigured in an oilfield accident 22 years ago. I dare you to assume that it is because of a lack of understanding.

 

this "debate" is just so much semantics.

 

True.

 

then why bother?

 

LOL....I don't know....I was having so much fun debating with you that I thought I'd come over here and cause some trouble too...

 

thats because i'm witty and eloquent.

this is debased and elementary.

 

Maybe you hate it because you don't understand why it had to happen, you don't understand why it wasn't avoided?

Just guessing as I haven't a clue about the reasons you hate it.

I don't think everything can be understood and I don't think all hate can be avoided.

 

TommyT, I want you to understand something. I don't really get offended. I write as if I'm mad because it's more fun. I used to get really mad, but a wise friend showed me the error of my ways. Just wanted to get that off my chest.
In reference to my hand, I don't really hate anything about it. I was just trying to see what you'd say. The truth is, I got a smashed up hand but my friend got to keep living. It was a fair trade. spooner is right, this is a lot of work for such a small semantic point.

 

I'm glad for you on the less rage thing I just know I can easily get on people's tits and come off as condescending when I explain my views.

I go on so much about this because - it's something I believe very strongly. Infact, the quote I initiality developed the view from, changed my life - through reminding myself of this view, I have been able to see around any hate I have ever had.

It's something I have spent a lot of time thinking about and often found obsticles which argue against it, but I've always realised the source of the hate for the obsticles - which has always turned out to be some form of not understanding.

To me it is not simple semantics, it is very good tool in avoiding negative judgements and improving myself.

I want others to be given the oportunity to do the same, so I explain my view in detail.

 

Just be happy you don't know these people in real life.

But also keep in mind everyone is basically the same. So you can't escape shitty human nature anyway.
