This is a question I don't understand the attraction

Smaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Hating
I'm going to sound like some kind of left-wing, liberal namby-pamby - but in fact nothing could be further from the truth...

However, I don't understand the attraction of getting worked up to the point of frothing at the mouth about things people don't like.

It's such a common thing, with a lot of people who are otherwise intelligent, urbane and reasonable completely losing it and going on a massive diatribe about usually either religion or politics.

I don't much care for organised religion myself, but I also don't care to hear the ranted opinions of those who oppose it because of their own ideological reasons. Same with R and B music. Yes, I think it's mainly pretty shit, but I'm not going to waste my time ranting and raving about how shit it is.

Imagine how much could get done if the people who spend time moaning about things that they don't enjoy or understand used that time and energy productively?

I get my fun
By priming the haters with a baited comment and sitting back...

Once knew a 110% Young Conservative. You'd only have to say "Isn't Maggie looking old" and he'd be off for an hour about how bad Kinnock looked. You could even leave the room and he wouldn't stop :-)

But hate can be good.
Thanks Honda.
