What's with all these "I hate" clubs?

totally agree with you, have never understood that myself. i think people find it easier to say what they hate as appose to what they love. you ask a group of people what they like about themselves and what they dislike the majority would be able to real off many reasons that they dislike in themselves but would be quite stumped at giving you an equal amount of reasons for why they love themselves. so i guess this would follow through to how they see others

Well, Everyone has the same comment. It's a waste of time and energy and etc. etc why go to that time and energy blah blah. I agree, don't get me wrong. But think about it. When you join a club, say a fan club, what's the point? To have a bunch of people with the same interest in someone/thing get together and talk about how much they love this person/thing. What's a hate club? the same thing. a bunch of people with the same distaste in a person/thing who get together and talk about how much they don't like this person/thing. If you (you being a generalized term and not you specifically) think it's a waste of time to talk about how much those people who make clubs to hate things, you're (again generalized not you specifically) are in essence doing the same thing. Everyone talks about things they don't like. Heck look at the comments to news articles about Paris Hilton. Half the time it's people writing about how stupid it is that they're wasting time writing news articles about her. Well those people are wasting their time writing comments about the reporters wasting time writing articles. People like to talk about things they hate just about as much, if not more, than they like to talk about things they like. It's called human nature and that's what I think of it.

People who make/join/contribute to these so-called "Hate" clubs do not know what hatred is all about to be honest. I feel they are immature, kinda akin to someone saying they hate thier brother or sister when they were little kids. I could understand if they said they did not appeal...but hate? I don't think so.

u are right vega and i'm also member of such a club ,thts i hate ekta kapoor on orkut,though i don't hate her ,but i don't watch her ,to me her serials are funny instead of drammatic .i didn't became member on my own it was to support one friend as she hates her ma-in-law who is fond of k-serials ,so see its along chain love ,hate and love and hate ,hehehehehe

I agree with you! I've seen hate-clubs and webpages for many years now, often dedicated to fictional characters. The fun thing with these pages is that they sometimes fabricate the truth so that the character targeted will look a lot worse than he or she is. It's pathetic really. I can't understand why someone would waste so much time and energy just to tell the world that they dislike someone.

Hate is a venom in your mind. To hate is to expend energy that is better spent in loving, or living life.

You definitely have a very good point. It does not make any sense in wasting time and effort talking about someone or something that we do not like it. If we do not like the person, why waste our breath talking about them. Talking about things or people that we like seems more worthwhile. This is a very good topic.

If people cannot have something to love, then they have to have something to hate. Pretty sad, but that is how people are. I do not like Britney Spears very much, but I would not start an "I Hate Britney Spears" club for it. I would start a club for something that I love. I love comics books. I would start an "I Love Comic Books" club if I had the time and the money to do it with.

I can't imagine joining or starting one of those communities. There are many celebrities that annoy me on some level or other, but when I see something about them, I just ignore it generally. Like you, I don't really think it's worth my time. I'd far rather focus on things and people that I care about than the ones that annoy me. I say "annoy" rather than "hate" because I can't imagine using a word that strong about someone I don't even know unless they had committed some seriously heinous crime. Even within my own life, there are very few people I would honestly say that I hate, and they are people who have done seriously harm to myself or those I care about. So even tossing around the "hate" word is too much for me, let alone joining or starting a club based on hate.

I hate these hate discussions LOL kidding!!! Waste the time if you ask me, I have much better things to do than hate on someone or something. Mind you being mylot, it is a place to let it all out I suppose but with those discussions I just skip on by! I would rather share how much I am in love with my husband and how much my son makes we feel each day :)

First of all, how can you truly hate someone that you do not even know. Starting a club about hating a celebrity is not going to change what their real fans feel for them and this is all that these people are concerned about. Their real fans are the ones that buy their CD's and come out and support their concerts and things like that. So, I feel that people who start clubs like this, not only have nothing better to do with their time, but are showing how childish and immature they really are. I know that my time is much too precious to waste on silly things.

Hi, Vega, I do agree that haters clearly have 'issues'. I personally wouldn't bother with a hate club. But there are attitudes and types of people that I hate, and I guess I occasionally confront those types of people when I should maybe just let them be. There is something cathartic about venting your feelings and not bottling them up. But hating celebrities seems quite silly - they're all quite harmless and one never really knows them, right? I guess for some people, though, any kind of community is a comfort, even if it's formed from a common hatred. Well, I'm rambling. I seem to have no coherent response to this thread.

I'm not a member of any hate club or community. I agree with you. Why would someone waste their time doing that? There are so many good issues to think about and discuss. When I have seen people gather around a common dislike of something or someone, they just seem to feed off of each other and add fuel to the fire. I've not seen any good come of that. If they would spend the same energy thinking about some good things, the world would be a better place to live.

It really is a waste of time and I personally wouldn't do it, but I suppose I could see why other will. They are hoping that by joining a group and sharing their thoughts, they will be able to get others to feel the same way and also hate the same person. This isn't effective because everyone in the group already hates said person. Perhaps it is also an outlet that allows these people to vent their feelings. There are probably some other reasons for why people do such said things and many other reasons psychologists still haven't discovered...

All of these "I hate" clubs that are springing up everywhere were created by people with too much time on their hands, no imagination and nothing better to do. If something bothers me I let it out productively, rather than starting a hate club for it.

Why I would not spend my time creating a space to complain about someone I hate, I kind of understand those that do. It could be very therapeutic for them. To find other's that share their feelings, to vent it out and to maybe feel like if they scream loud enough the person they really can't stand will hear them. Me personally, I think what I want and I go on, have too much to do than to waste my time on someone I can't stand.

You are so right. Why waste time hating anything or anyone? We all have likes and dislikes, but why go out of our way to accent the things we hate? I think people are too lazy or confused to like themselves and do things that would be beneficial for themselves. So the easy way to get out of self responsibilty is to hate something. When we spend time hating something, we use our energy up and it is much wasier than actually working toward positive results. People are nuts. Then again I might be president of the I hate Paris fan club...lol. Not likely, because I love her. Well I am stretching that a bit...lol.

Hello vega. Some people actually posted the "I hate this and that" for the simple reason that they are using the forum as a way to vent out their feelings and thoughts. I had come across a discussion about a forum owned by a mylotter who used it to insult some members here. I don't have the time to dwell on things like that. There are too many dramas in my life already and joining forum is a way for me to relax and interact as well.
