Re: my point on hate
I don’t like it; I don’t like being the object of it, and I REALLY don’t like feeling it.
OTHER people being the object of hate nauseates me.
So, how to respond to hate? Hate back? I’ve tried that, and it doesn’t work for me. But that’s off topic.
Re: bobo
“also… just so no one thinks I’m posting out of personal agenda… bobo = white heterosexual male”.
Lots of posters specified which hated group they belong to or have ties to; so it is clear which of their buttons were pushed. He sounds as personally angry as a member of a hated group (which, of course, he is, as a human, but that’s another off-topic). So I was curious which buttons of bobo’s were pushed.
Re: intelligence
Others in the thread told me he was particularly nasty because he was intelligent and could influence others. You say his writings weren’t very good. Well, I guess that’s not what angers you. That answers that question, as least as far as you are concerned.
Re: pissing of Fenris
Well, I’m not going to stop breathing.
Guess what? No every-one who doesn’t believe exactly what you believe is a blithering idiot. They are just different from you. See below.
Re: the roots of anti-isms, specifically anti-semitism
“I can recogniae [sic] the roots of 90% of the ‘anti-isms’ I hear expressed”.
Well, you picked one of the anti-ism I really don’t get. I’ve read posts in here about anti-semitism and still don’t get it.
I am not quibbling here, but please note the qualifications. And recognizing the roots of something does NOT validate it
As far as I can figure out 50 % of the group-based hatred in this world is based on the following reasoning (and I use the term loosely):
These people are different from me, so they must be wrong.
So I can be justified in taking economic resources from them.
Then it goes to: My group has done great wrong to this group; in order for my group not to be evil, this group must deserve it.
And then we get a cycle of rabid vituperative destructive self-destructive (et cetera) hate.
Which, back to my original point, I do not like.
