As long as you ain't hurting anyone else, violent outbursts of hatred are as good as an outburst of crying.

Infact they are better cause nobody is gonna slap your face and tell you to pull yourself together.

No, we ain’t hurting nobody. Just drawing the line when enough’s enough.

Do you know the people you hate?

Just asking cause the people I hate the mostly dont have names.

To explain that, and to be open as **** to strangers.(it helps for some strange reason)

When my son died in 2012 at a young age, A website called stupid deaths feautered his death because it made the national papers in scotland

My morbidness made me look, and well..you can imagine the hatred I've felt ever since.


He died taking legal highs, but the papers picked up on it because his twitter feed was him bragging about going out on that fateful night to take them.

That sounds like such a rough ordeal (involving your son). Is there anything you do to help you when the grief and resentment hits (drinking whiskey doesn’t count, let’s be honest)?

But in my case they have names, yeah. I know exactly who they are.

Let's just say I cant swing a punch like I used to, so my face isn't as handsome as it once was.

But that was in the past, things are improving now. Om lucky I've never had a very close friend that I've ended up hating, they've all been really cool.

Are you comfortable talking about what they did?

Don’t have time for hatred. If someone pisses me off to the point that I ‘hate’ them I don’t bother with them. No point wasting time on them.

I’ve been involved in enough nonsense over the past 16 years to have reached that point but generally I give people a chance. I’m a people-person at heart so I can’t let cynicism from bad past experiences get in the way of maintaining/making connections. But the general public can be annoying.

Let’s talk about Strawberry Shortcake yoghurt and how underrated it is for a minute (on a more positive note).

I'm one of those weirdos who tends to actually quite like the people I argue with/clash with more :joker:

Weirdo indeed.

I protected two of the people involved/on my hate-list so much in the end but they didn’t deserve a single iota of it. Sometimes I wish I would’ve just left them to the wolves and let them take a good beating. It wasn’t my mess to sort out (it was just one of the many issues with them) and the stress of it all affected my health badly but without me it’s unlikely that one of them would still be alive. I regret that now. He thought it was all fine and that no-one wanted to hurt him but they did. They did. He was just too stupid to take accountability and step up to the truth. You can go off on a reactive tirade and blame everyone but yourself for all your problems and stupid mishaps but it’ll all fall back on you eventually. Some of them might come back with a flimsy apology and “I would not have apologised if I didn’t mean it” but if you were that sorry in the first place you wouldn’t have done it and damaged someone’s year at all. And I’m probably always going to hate them for everything they did.

My father would always pull me up if i used the word hate, he told me you must never hate anyone

If I dislike someone that much, I don't waste any kind of emotion on them, not even hate. They're just dead to me.

I can get that.

I like taking a contrary position when people start bleating on about politics, and it's much more engaging when people bite back instead of saying "fair enough" or being wounded that someone thinks differently.

Is there a chance pro-trans. politics features in this opposition a little?

Not at all. I wouldn't even know how to pretend to think women's rights are worth being sacrified for trans rights.

I’m not even talking about that. Just the basic rights Independent of anything or anyone else. How about that?

I've never spoken against their "rights" which don't contradict anyone else's.

Hmm. If you say so.

I do say so, and nothing else I've said contradicts this :)

I personally don't think there's any such thing in any situation, all human rights and human interactions are a balance of compromises to achieve (hopefully) the best and most sensible outcome. "No m... person... is an island", and all that.

So what you’re implying is that trans people shouldn’t have the right to transition?

On what planet do cis. women’s rights impede that basic want/need of transitioning or vice-versa?
