I had a good discussion with middle yesterday and it's important enough to highlight in a post.
Here is how hate is the truest expression of love:
If you have kids, you love your kids and want to keep them protected, which means that you don't just open your house up to every single random person that shows up claiming he has a van is full of candy and do the kids want some? By definition of being a parent you bare the responsibility of hating strangers because of love to your family.
In other words you can not have Love without setting boundaries, laws and morality, and you can't have boundaries, laws and morality without having hate for those that break it.
We have been brainwashed to think that "hate" is evil when it's not. The opposite of Love is not hate it's indifference, the moslems who beheaded those two girls didn't hate them, they were indifferent as they calmly beaded them. The hate you felt watching the video (and you should watch it if you haven't) is love and compassion for those women because you have a set of morals and ethics that they--the Moslem broke.
For those that have the opportunity to watch those beheadings and haven't, you have no right to an opinion and say that Hate is NOT the True expression of Love because you are a coward and neither understand love, nor compassion, nor empathy.
I hope you watch the video @middle_path that I linked above

Why won't you watch the video?

Why won't you answer my question?
Sorry, dude. I've seen too many beheading videos in my life. Don't care to see another. Spoiler alter - she loses her head.
If you have to constantly reference a video instead of defending your own argument (which was actually that of another author yesterday, not you) then you're pretty worthless and your "serious discussion only" criteria has already failed.

Somehow I doubt you've ever seen someone die in a brutal way and Middle you simply don't live in reality because you refuse to admit and SEE that evil exists.
It's one thing to say evil happens and another to actually watch it.
Watching the video actually matters in discussion of hate because it's an easy way to explain what hate and love truly is with your own eyes instead of sophistry.
I'm disappointed in you my friend, disappointed
