So don't give me that bull**** about hate not being detrimental, I've seen her cry. Religious/Moronic fueled hatred is a very real problem and it's an extremely damaging thing to happen to anyone and to everything as a culture. Stop responding if you're going to keep spitting your ignorance everywhere, you're just making yourself look like a bigot.

Oh will you please repeat something new? You've been stating this for the last five pages and have yet to show me any example of someone performing an illegal act without any hate behind it. You have no argument, its like you just googled "How to appear controversial on the interwebs" and proceeded to repeat everything that appeared.

Unless you want to argue cause anf effect and then one can easily argue that there would be no reason to hate ***s if ***s didn't exist therefore its the fault of ***s. In other words HURRRRRRRRR THOUGHT CRIME!
