He took the side of Sony in Sony v. Universal Studios which allowed development and manufacture of VCR technology to progress unabashed causing a boom in pornography like our world has never seen.

Oh wait. I love Mr. Rogers. I meant to say Mrs. Ramsey, my 9th grade Earth Sciences teacher.

I, too, never like to use the word "hate". It's a strong & powerful word. I like to say & think kind thoughts about people!

Having said that, all of roads of vile disgust lead to OJ. That sinister, low-life sh*t bag.

Whew! All better now!

Well, actually I saw the brand and model you purchased and determined you weren't going to be getting much that day.

I knew who she was before she even met Duchovney (I miss The Naked Truth).

Umm, I'm going with Connie Chung. Her more than Maury because she at one time did something respectible before the abomination that is/was "Weekends with Maury & Connie".

I did too. But the whole marriage and extension of her time in the spotlight was evil. I mean, if anybody would understand just how grating she is, I expect it to be her husband.

The definition of "Hate" has changed over the years I believe: Didn't it once mean simply to "like less" than something else?

[Alex]

If so then I hate every movie I've ever seen except All About Eve. And all breakfast cereals other than Honey Bunches of Oats.

I think it has always meant something much stronger than what you describe. I try to separate hate of action from hate of the actor. Something of a hate the sin, not the sinner approach.

I also think there is something inherently different in meaning between when a person says "I hate Hitler" or "I hate George Bush" and "I hate disco" or "I hate raisins in bread pudding."
