    I've often been told that hate is a very strong word and that it's harsh to say you really hate an individual but i can say that i genuinely hate at least 2 people with a passion that i can think of off the top of my head and i'm sure if i thought of it for long enough i could think of a few more! Definitely two though that i despise even the sight of!

    I dislike a whole lot of people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 227 ✭✭FollatonWood


    Yes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 892 ✭✭✭GenieOz


    No, not even close. I really dislike some other people but I think if I hated someone or if I was even capable of that level of emotion I'd need psychiatric help.

    No not a single person throughout my life. I have disliked or distrusted several but have never hated anybody.


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    nope.

    dont hate anyone.

    its too emotional for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,628 ✭✭✭Femme_Fatale


    Nothing wrong with hating someone who has severely wronged you, so long as it doesn't damage your life in other ways and you're not obsessed/carrying out harm on others. If that's how you feel, that's how you feel. Some people do horrific stuff to other people and there's nothing wrong with them being hated for it.

    Can't think of anyone I hate, just dislike or feel indifference to. But I wouldn't always view hate as unreasonable. Some people deserve to be hated, even if these are extreme examples.

    Hmmm possibly my IT manager, but then he is a prick and a bully.

    I know that its kinda fashionable lately to hate Coldplay.

    But I can not overstate how much I hate Coldplay.

    I could never let an emotion like that dictate my actions or take over my life, but i whole heartedly know that i really hate a couple of people! Two brothers, absolute horrible individuals, sometimes i wonder how people wind up being so obnoxiously pig headed, i mean it seems like it would take more effort to be a massive arsehole then to just get on with folks or at least be civil

    Anytime I hear that saying it reminds me of what Frankie Boyle said about John Terry. Framkie Boyle does not like John Terry.

    Its pretty offensive as you can imagine so I put it in spoilers. Read it if you like.
    I wouldn't piss on John Terry if he was on fire; the only fluid I'd give him is if he were in a burns unit, I'd **** on him if I had AIDS

    I don't hate anyone. I'm lucky never to have held grudges against people who made my life difficult when I was a kid and lucky to never have anyone hurt me badly as an adult.

    One person came close to destroying my family, to tearing my Dad's life apart. Thankfully they didn't succeed, if they had, I would hate them. Instead, I just pity them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,516 ✭✭✭wazky


    I hold grudges like nobodys business, cant help my nature so I embrace it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 196 ✭✭Dave H


    I would imagine that to truly hate someone would mean that you despise their very existence and wish the possible worst for them, I havnt met anyone so far that would fit into that column but there is a few that I'll never get on with but would just wish mild discomfort on them, stuff like the chain coming off their bike or stepping on a lego.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 882 ✭✭✭ygolometsipe


    There is one person that has caused me untold grief, and even done physical harm to me and others I know; and remains a genuine threat.

    I feel very sorry for the people that were hurt. I sometimes wish him harm
    but then I feel bad because that wont fix anything. Its just anger not hate.

    I still have not figured out if my inability to hate is a weakness or a strength.

    Yes, two people specifically. I've come around to tolerate others I previously thought I hated but these two particulars stepped over a line. Feeling only kicks in when I see them though, not on my mind otherwise.

    Unless they're the kind of people who always expect the unexpected. Then whatcha gonna do about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,987 ✭✭✭Tilly


    I don't think I do. I used to dislike someone very much but they have gone away for good hopefully :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,863 ✭✭✭✭crosstownk


    I've a very strong dislike for a few individuals but not to the point of what I'd call 'hate'. Once these people keep out of my way (and me out of their way) then there's no problem. For all I know they probably dislike me as much if not more.

    I agree that hate is a strong term and to be honest, if the individuals I dislike strongly were in a life a death situation and I was in a position to help then yes, I'd help them. Not helping would be shame on me.

    That said, nobody has done any physical or emotional harm to me so maybe I'm not in a position to define 'hate'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 278 ✭✭cailinardthair


    I tried to think who did I hate but its more like dislike with a passion or distrust (and good luck getting my trust back)! Most of the people who I don't like or didn't get on with...I've just ignore them and get on with my life...no point........some of the people who I distrust can't get rid of them and they never surprise me anymore! As long as they don't bother or interfere with my life, I'l keep them at arms length.

    20 years?, I would consider that a mere tiff.

    No I don't hate anybody.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,246 ✭✭✭iwantmydinner


    I don't hate anyone I know in real life. I strongly dislike, or pity, or wish discomfort or inconvenience on them as a result of their behaviour towards me or my loved ones.

    However, I do hate certain members of a certain "Institute", and a couple of others of their ilk. I genuinely hate them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 278 ✭✭cailinardthair


    Think he hate everything


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭Butterface


    I don't hate anybody I personally know. There have been times in my life where I've strongly disliked people or distrusted them, but they don't really feature much in my life anymore, so that's kind of faded now.

    There's still plenty of time left for me to meet my mortal enemy.

    People... what a bunch of bast*rds!

    A better question would be do I genuinely like anyone...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,077 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    No. To hate someone is to give them permanent residence in your head, where they fester away. I prefer to forget them, and spend my brain cells on more worthwhile subjects.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    There's one person I absolutely hate. This person is the most volatile and disgusting thing I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. They did something very awful to me that I can never forgive. I try not to let it bother me but unfortunately they are a relative so often I would get reminders.

    Hate to be boring but no, there is nobody I hate. People who might be deemed worthy of hate are only worthy of pity imo. But I don't waste time pitying either.
