Who do you hate?
I read this really good article on npr.org about hating and the current uses of it and the word haters. It made me think long and hard about the use of the word and the type of people who I hate, for lack of a better word. Actually, don't like is better, I think, since it's not as strong as hate.
We all hate, truth be told, but for different reasons. Some hate because they're jealous of other people's success. For instance, some people hate Justin Bieber, even though the kid really has done nothing wrong. Some people, though, deserve to be hated because they are doing something wrong or are just being idiots. Those people, however, use the "haters gonna hate" routine in order to completely dismiss anybody calling them out on their stupidity.
Everybody's got a "hate" list. Who's on mine? Well.....
1. Politicians - None of them talk to each other and this will never get better. In fact, it's now worse, thanks to talk radio and blogs. That's why nothing seems to get done lately. Add to that the fact that they think that they can say any racist, sexist thing they want and instead of stepping down, they'll say that people are infringing on their right to free speech.
2. Fame Whores - See any Kardachian family member or any other reality show person for examples.
3. Celebrities who behave badly and get rewarded for it - See Lindsey Lohan or Charlie Sheen.
4. People who talk about their "haters" - Seriously, how shallow is that pool their brains and egos came from?
So, who's on your "hate" list?
