have you ever experienced pure hatred for someone?

[Cerys]

My mums new bf. My parents split up a year ago, and my mum got a bf 1month later, and they've been together ever since.

He just talks to me like I'm simple, and he hits my dog etc.
Even if he buys me a bag of chocolate, I still want to kill him. He's just awful.

Screams at me all the time.

[Neversoft]

No, I haven't, and I hope I never have to experience such an emotion.

[RyRy]

Nah I just get fed up of people like that haha.

[Inseriousity.]

Ok that is fair, but even if you hate your brother so much that you would wish him dead I personally don't feel that this mindset comes out of hate, but compassion. If I see someone that is hurting others to a serious degree I personally hope that they are put out of their missery for their own good, and the betterment of humanity as a whole.

As an Example

I personally feel that those who commit serious sexual crimes, especially those who sexually assault or rape children, should be subjected to the death penalty without question. A good majority of these people are mentally sick and will have to deal with their mental disease for the rest of their life - not to mention the countless people that they will hurt and the many lives they will ruin.

So why bother putting these types of people into the system, spending taxpayers money trying to rehabilitate someone that statistically will commit the same crime within 6 months of being released? I personally don't think that we should take the risk - just do away with them. Should this be considered harsh and drastic? Personally I don't think so - if the law was "If you rape, we will kill you" it may deter some crime as well. We're living in a vastly overpopulated world anyways - a little population control wouldn't hurt anyone!

Plus, did you know the average cost of an inmate is $47,000 USD a year? A bullet costs 45 cents.... just sayin....

(obviously I am over exaggerating here, frankly I feel I sound a bit like a sociopath, but the general idea is there)

As I know someone who was accused of rape but was innocent, I find this completely disgusting. Also, I don't really think your ideas make much sense.She hates/dislikes her brother. That isn't out of compassion for himto wish he was gone. It would be to provide peace for her and those around her. Not saying her brother deserves it though cos I don't know the full details but compassion is definitely the wrong word here.

Personally, I think hate is just pointless.Life's too short to hold grudges over petty thingslike some people in my family (lol one set of aunty/uncle isn't talking to the other set of aunty/uncle cos the latter didn't invite the former to their wedding... they didn't invite anyone, they eloped but that clearly isn't the point to them). As for the big things, why bother wasting your time with hate. Just cut them out of your life as much as you possibly can and move on.

firstly yr statement about mental illness there makes me sick to the stomach, you really need to learn more about mental health before you make stupidly large statements like that.

secondly the value of life comes down to money? so glad yr not actually in any position of great power.

[GirlNextDoor15]

Pure hatred? Nope. My life is too short for pure hatred. I want to live happily.

[geo]

Never, and I hope I never will! Haven't got enough time for that.

[Eric]

Nope. Can't be bothered to hate someone.

[Empired]

Just a quick note to all those who think hate would ruin their lives or whatever..

Hate does certainly not ruin your life, in some cases (such as my own) it does the exact opposite: it makes you feel better. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying people hate others to make them feel better, but if the person you hate so much has does something unforgivable it feels totally right to hate them. Hating doesn't necessarily mean you want to see them dead either, I would grieve if the person I despise was dead, but usually they have done something so terrible it would take two lifetimes to undo the damage but hating helps heal the wounds just a little bit.. oo I've gone all metaphorical!!

Well that's my opinion of hate anyway.. haha XD

Yes, my dad. I ran into him at a bar last year - I was having a smoke and so was he.. he was a little shocked as was I but after a little drunk talk we've been tighter than we ever could be, he's a pretty cool guy I just never gave him the chance because I held a grudge against him from when I was younger. We've worked it out, I call him dad instead of his actual name and my life has been a lot happier since.
