Thread: Do we have a right to hate?

If we are going to be a tolerant society don't we also need to tolerate each others intolerance?

Good point.

You cannot hate and not expect social repercussions later on. The trouble with human beings is that there are stupid people out there, who WILL step outside the boundaries if there are sufficient numbers. So how do you control the average tomy?

That's right, discourage hate altogether. You cannot hate something or someone. There has to be held a certain level of understanding regarding our stance. If you distinguish man and beast, then I concur man should possess the level of understanding to unstitch his stereotypes over certain issues surrounding his view of things.

In short, don't hate, simply understand. You will find your hate disappears... Hate is a very very strong word.

Would you hate hate?

If they outlawed hate, we would of course lose the KKK and Greenpeace.....

But we'd also see arrests in the Democrats, the Republicans and most "minorities".

My thoughts on hate. If I dislike someone, I ignore them. I don't waste a split second of my time or a bit of my energy hating someone. If I don't care for them, it's is as though they don't exist.

That's assuming that they outlawed hate across the board.

In reality, what we see is narrow definitions of hate that only criminalize points of view which are opposed to what the PC crowd thinks.

To the proponents of hate laws there are two kinds of hate.

I would have to agree with you and add emotional harm. The only exception to the above I would add is with teachers in schools who I believe do not have the right to share their hatred with their students.
