Hate is usually accompanied by intolerance.

Yeah, unfortunately, it is....

And we certainly see where the most intolerant are... Try the Christain Right here in the US and their minions in Congress...

Looking more like the Taliban every day...

"Why do Americans hate one another so much..."

          Some of them are Jewish bankers who took invester money and bought toxic securities with it--nowing they were toxic--and took their own money and bought credit-default-swaps betting on the economy to crash.

Lloyd Blankfein is selling credit-default-swaps, betting on the economy of Greece to fail. If it fails, the poorest people in Greece will lose everything they've worked all their lives for. Blankfein will walk away with another 100 million dollar bonus.

So every ignorant moron is entitled to be accorded respect for his/her stupidity and lies, then?

I think not.

While everyone may be entitled to their INFORMED opinion, they'te not entitled to be purveyors of BS, ignorance, and delusion.

Actually Americans don't hate foreigners, but they don't like phony programs like H1-B visas, and/or people who hire illegals.

We love people who hire illegals. If we didn't, we'd do something about it. But they make big campaign contributions.

Just got this E-mail, loved it:

       General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
       Read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
       Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have to love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
       In a portion of an ABC radio interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military Headquarters.

       FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
       So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

       GENERAL COSGROVE:!
       We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.


       FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
       Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

       GENERAL COSGROVE:
       I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

       FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
       Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

       GENERAL COSGROVE:
       I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.


       FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
       But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

       GENERAL COSGROVE:
       Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

       The radiocast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, this interview was over.

Yep we sure do hate those H1-B visas...even 'though they are the only way that the VA can get physicians in medically underserved areas.

            Nope, it's not the only way. We could be educating young Americans to do those jobs, and if were weren't supporting a bunch of illegal aliens, it'd be easier to do that.

It's a great story, just the same!...and in a certain logic, it is absolutely true.

Hate is usually accompanied by intolerance.

Yes and both are preceded by ignorance and fear of the unfamiliar.

IMO - bigots are under-developed mentally and spiritually.

Thanks Janie.

I think Joe got it right. The main-stream news media loves confrontation so they
promote it for their ratings.

I don't think Americans hate each other that much. They tend to be emotional over
ideologies but when it comes to meeting the other guy, sometimes, and I support this,
humanity trumps ideology. I think we can learn to agree to disagree without violence.

I don't think we have to acquiesce to principles or ideologies with which we disagree.
(Get along, not go along).

Perhaps maybe McGrath watches too much American TV. :)

I get mad sometimes at what I perceive to be injustice but i have to remember
to respond and not react. I'm working on this. It ain't easy.

One of the reasons I like Mudcat is that there can be a civil discourse without a lot
of name-calling and pontificating. I don't mind passion, though if someone feels
strongly about something. I haven't found much bullying on Mudcat and that's proof
that us Americans don't hate each other all that much.

I post a lot of what I post, to stimulate THOUGHT, and hope that it rolls around in the 'Catter's heads, not only to turn them onto 'other points of view, but to give you topics, and clarity to write about, sing about, and not be parroting political partisanship, in your thinking, and lyric writing. Some of the greatest pieces of music, were written in times of great distress.......and I hope that there is SOME beauty coming out of these days were are living.

I, myself would love to post to you, a couple of pieces that I have composed, which have NO lyrics, and is presently in negotiations for a film soundtrack, with a VERY major film company, and because of that, I'm not at liberty to post it on youtube, or something like that. Believe me, I'd LOVE to share it with you...and as long as we're here, THANK YOU all, for the bouncing of thoughts and passion, you've shared with me!!

Most Sincerely and With Much Gratitude,
