When is the last time you can recall using the word "hate" and really meant it?

Whenever I think of some of the supervisors I used to have and some of the weirdos I used to have to work with would be one instance. And I do really mean it, even though I'm normally a rather mellow old hippie, because I truly think I was obliged to have some of the world's worst humans on earth as supervisors -- true ogres and demons.

Hmm.. let's see, I used that word so much in '07, I should be in the book of fudgein' world records.

I can't recall, although there are lots of things that I genuinely do hate. I did say I hated someone this evening, but I didn't really mean it. I strongly dislike this person, but I don't hate him.

A day late in August of 2005, I was writing a letter to my father and used that word not directed towards him personally but towards his attitude and actions over the last thirty years. He is a cantankerous old man and a SOB at times; I love him but used to hate my memories of growing up and all the crap that I felt he was responsible for. He left my mom, my little sister and myself in a bad environment to fend for ourselves, without any support or consideration for our well-being. Mother was an alcoholic and eventually died on our living room couch due alcohol-induced heart failure, my little sister was 16. I can remember calling him the night she died from the hospital just to let him know what had happened. I had awakened his new wife and could hear arguing in the background and felt so abandoned and alone. Anyway I overcame my anger and hate and replaced it not with sympathy but sorrow for him. Hate is a powerful emotion, not as powerful as love, but without love hate will kill you, slowly but surely. That is the last time I used the word hate and meant it.

Wow bless you and it takes courage where you come from and must have been very hard on you cannot
even begin to imagine!
And so sorry to hear about your mom how sad and yes she is in a good place right now

Thanks, I believe that too.

Thanksgiving, when my brother's now-ex kept trying to get me to try the turkey. I don't eat birds. I hate the thought of eating them. Why can't people understand that? I don't care if it's sooooo good. I don't want any!

I've never said it and really meant it.

And now your brother doesn't have a girlfriend anymore...

DO YOU SEE WHAT YOUR HATRED FOR EATING FOWL HAS WROUGHT?!

I know, I'm evil. I had it planned to happen like that.

you eat ham, right?

Sometimes. I'm funny when it comes to meat.

Um...I know I used it recently and I don't know if I meant it. It is an expression used in exasperation and I doubt I meant it....just frustrated at something. I really make every attempt to not use it, but sometimes...dammit....I hate that I use it sometimes.

Tonight actually.... I was talking about those boys in SF that taunted the tiger.

I said some pretty nasty things about those dudes... but I was riled up because someone suggested to me that these little fudgeers could get a settlement.

Funny that you ask though... because I'm really not much of a hater. I don't use the word "hate" lightly.

The last time I said 'hate' it was answering a question in which I said I don't think I really hate anyone. So, yeah, I meant it.

at the time I did, 10 years ago my wife and her boyfriend went to Vegas with my 401k now I'm broke and still going to live happily ever after...

A long, long time ago.

Today, when I was reminded of why women are expected to become mothers.
