It's pretty hard to say "I hate everything you do and your very being" and then say "but I still like you". -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 14:55 23

  - It's not that I hate redheads, it's just that I think they're brides of Satan and destined for hell. - Reagen Jul 17, 15:07 21

      - APT! -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 15:36 2
        
        Yeah, I heard it in my head as well. -- nm - David Jul 17, 15:37 1
        
        Me too. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 17, 16:19
    - I don't like my brother's religious order, but I still love my brother. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 15:09 14
      - If you don't think what your brother himself is doing is immoral, I don't think it's an acurate analogy. -- nm - mara Jul 17, 15:19 11
        
        it's far more accurate than redheads. it's something he chose. - loosilu Jul 17, 15:21 10
        
        You could dye your hair. - Reagen Jul 17, 15:23 9
        
        if had not been born red, it would be accurate. -- nm - loosilu2 Jul 17, 15:27 8
        
        see, except they're wrong about that. - Reagen Jul 17, 15:28 7
        
        I KNOW THEY'RE WRONG. that is not the point. -- nm - loosilu2 Jul 17, 15:33 6
        
        but it is. - Reagen Jul 17, 15:36 3
        
        so, ok. you're saying they can be hateful without knowing it. - loosilu2 Jul 17, 16:04 2
        
        not as much as you would think -- nm - znufrii Jul 17, 16:14
        
        If you say something hateful without meaning it, you apologize or else it becomes on purpose. -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 16:10

        LOUD NOISES!!!!! nm -- nm - groiny Jul 17, 15:37
      - and how would your brother react if you told him you think he's in a cult? -- nm - Reagen Jul 17, 15:15 1
        
        first off, he's heard it plenty of times already and I'm sure he has a form answer. Second, I would express my opinion far more respectfully. -- nm - loosilu Jul 17, 15:16
