1. The world's elementary and secondary education system sucks

[11 Bravo]

2. Irrational anger at the incorrect use of "there", "their", and "they're"?

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

6. their is no they're there

:hide:

[Birthmark]

3. Because hate is cheap.

What it lacks in effectiveness is made up for by the focus it provides for some people.

Personally, I don't have the attention span or energy for hate.

[Red Zelda]

4. Children are too often dismissed as "children."

And all things military are celebrated as good, while sex is bad.
Stupid hominids.

5. Thugs...

Typical of predators...going after the weak.

[durablend]

7. Rush Limbaugh and his ilk n/t

[laststeamtrain]

8. Because of questions like this. n/t

[Winterblues]

9. Spend a few minutes in GD-P

Talk about hate......

[FlaGranny]

10. Because many believe

that they alone are right and everyone else is wrong, so everyone else needs to be brought around to that one's point of view or under that one's control. Very simplified, but still simple, really.

11. Because hating generates capital

It supports the need for the military industrial complex, the private prison industry, the Fashion industry, etc.

What's there to hate about hate?

:sarcasm:

12. You don't believe that we're on the eve of destruction.

Just tell me over and over again, my friend.

13. Humans suck

A lot. Like really really a lot. And I know someone will say, "Oh, but what about symphonies and paintings of flowers and stuff?" Okay - so how much mass evil and pain and suffering and death does one pretty picture or song balance out? When we've left the planet a broken husk, who will care about Shakespeare's plays?

I mean, there's lots of reasons, but lurking behind them all is the fact that humans are weak and scared pack animals.

[dysfunctional press]

14. two words: money & religion. the want of money for one thing...

and too many self-centered and self-serving idiot people worrying more about what happens to their mythological "immortal soul" after they die than what happens to their actual society while they're alive.

[peace13]

15. Brain chemistry. n/t

[The Straight Story]

16. Cause people won't do what I tell em to do when I tell em damnit

Now fetch my slippers and some wine and find someone to make me some dinner.

See - if everyone let me rule em we would all be happier :)

Seriously though, I think there are many answers to your questions as replies this thread and more.

17. Oh, good grief.
