I'm actually tired of the overuse of the word "hater".

It is now trendy to call anyone a hater who has a different viewpoint.

Including your opinions of TV shows and movies.

If somebody questions anything or critiques anything they're labeled a "hater".

I think we have a become a nation of morons more than haters.

We started to hate when the Democrats decided the "other" side are enemies...

The 1700s must have been a picnic, you had to just work and survive. There was always social unrest, but it wasnt televised 24/7.
That's why I don't watch TV.

Doesn't matter. This country has always been hateful.

I don't care. Hate all you want, just leave me the hell alone.

No.

It's always been human nature and goes back throughout human history.

I disagree slightly. Clinton got more positive stuff done than Bush. Bush did a ton of things, but very few of them were positive.

I think the recessionhas tured some nto haters just like veitnam war and otehr events did. But that is a minority of true beleievers. Most just disapprove of the job the fedewral governamnt is doing basically. that does take actual hate. Of course their is always the usual; Rethoric that has been common since the 60's but the political parties themselves are to blame for raising its levels thru the years.Once you get eelcted you just can;t turn thwt type of rethoric politcis off;it then bites you .

Ever since the bubble burst in 2008 and we lost our near immediate satisfactions, we became a nation of short tempered children stuck in the "Terrible Twos". Its not hate, its fear masked in anger.

I dont either, except fstv for 15 min of real news, and maybe travel channel.

American television has become a land of trash and histrionics, and even Congress is something like a reality horror show directed by mark burnett (debt ceiling drama bombshell tonite).

cnn has the same commentators on re: homeland security every week. garbage in, garbage out.
