/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a word that is part of our lexicon/vocabulary and said in many circumstances. Without the merest thought of its use. Hate is the most absolutely foulest word a person can use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HATE!&amp;nbsp; HATE!&amp;nbsp; HATE!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;I hate when that happens! I hate that! I hate her/him! I hate doing this! I hate my job! I hate you!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nice word isn&#39;t it. Used by many, whether the situation is good, bad, or indifferent, worldwide. It’s used to describe a person, place, or thing. The word has become part of everyday life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with the word hate; it isn’t even considered among the four-letter word category associated with profanity. You know. Those bad profane words some of use. Except this word hate is said almost as second nature. This is the worst word in the world! Just look around. You read a paper, listen to the radio, watch a movie/television, hear it in casual conversation. People in politics use it. Professional athletes use it. It&#39;s used in advertisements. Children use the word hate!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;And hear this word said over and over and over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is without a doubt, in my mind at least a most foul disgusting word used in any circumstance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Many may use hate just in an offhand way and not realize it. It&#39;ll be used when someone raging pissed. Usually at another person. (This I am sure many know already). Used it to vent or describe disgust and distain. Or just because something was not liked or enjoyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This word hate comes from a feeling within us. How you feel about a person. How you feel about a place, social order, or disorder. Even over the smallest error made. This word will come into play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the word hate is used for. Why not just trying to stop using it. There are a plethora of words that can be used in its place.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;We are way to intelligent, and that&#39;s means everyone. Allowing this gross obscene lecherous four-letter word to creep into our lexicon/vocabulary. We literally unleash hate without realizing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes it&#39;s an easy word to say and comes naturally. But it mean a lot more. Plus, it does the maximum amount of psychological damage to someone. When criticism is employed. (Or when gaslighting).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does using the word hate really make you feel better?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People should really dislike the use of this word. The word has hurt more than any other word. This word can and has brought people to tears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a poor excuse for a description and must be purged from our lexicon and vocabulary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Refuse this word as a reference for the remainder of life. It will make a complete difference in the outlook of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Challenge&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Go without saying the word for a full 7-day week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To put it simply.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hate is the evilest of all words said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about this word, love.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Love&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wow!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Now there’s a word we can all live with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by,

First domesticated animal. At our sides when we hunted and gathered food. They were there when civilization&#39;s rose and fell, building of great stone monuments, in wars and in peace, in natural disasters and manmade ones. A dog was there, with us. The only animal we can look into their eye&#39;s and they will look back at us, into our eye&#39;s.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;*This is my personal estimate.

In particular with the United States of America. I could go on and talk about how America is involved in to many places. Or the people there are getting a little tired of their own government. Someday the people of the Middle East Countries will all have their day. There will be an upheaval unlike the world has not seen. Followed by reorganization, in fighting, out fighting and more change. Eventually what the world will see. Is a coming together as Europe did. Born out of the conflict and differences a United Middle East will raise. This is talk for another time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have been thinking about Iran. Just a short while ago America was focused on that nation. As usual the Republican Party was saying not enough was being done. Or that America should invade Iran. (That&#39;s what they&#39;re saying now about Libya). Some political organization, usual right wing conservatives, always complain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
