Sorry for the lack of clarity, I meant “hateful” in the “expresses hate toward others” sense. I would have probably said something like “garners more hate” if I was asking about who receives more hate.

Have you ever heard anyone use the word hateful in a way that means someone is “deserving to be hated”?

If the word hurtful means something which causes others to feel hurt, then shouldn’t the word hateful mean something which causes others to feel hate?

Vegetarians are people whose diet includes a lot of vegetables, fruitatians eat only fruit, and allegedly breatharians survive on air.

Does it follow that a humanitarian should have a diet that includes a lot of human flesh?

You are a juror. The defendant is accused of murder. He admits to murder (but not specifying who,) there are emails showing he has admitted to murder in his messages (but never mentioning who the victims were,) there are numerous acquaintances of his who state that they have been told about his murders (but again, nobody knows who the victims are.) The prosecution cannot establish when, where, etc. but gives a broad idea, i.e., “It was most likely in California in the 1990s, probably done with this implement, probably that… etc.”

What is your verdict?
