How can hate be anymore than the way one feels? I don't think I have been ignorant at all. I don't think I have been rigid. You say you like hearing new perspective well that's my perspective on rap, and it's a negative one, so what?
I went back and reread everything I posted. Yea, I do alot of generalizing, exaggerating and such. Alot of people say things they regret. I'm not saying I regret saying it, but I could have discussed it in a more intelligent constructive manner. I never attack anyone though, the way people attack me in response to my opinions, the way filtherthon attacks other people in this thread for misunderstanding him. I did respond to people who responded to me.
Why is it neccessary to express hate? We are social creatures. Expression is comforting, it connects us to other people. If I feel strongly about something it feels good to talk about it to someone else whether they agree with it or disagree with it.
I admit I'm "wrong" because hating rap serves no purpose. I do feel it is ok to continue hating rap, because since when is it not ok to dislike something and talk to other people about it. Yea it's a contradiction that illustrates the grand contradition of intellect vs. emotion, super ego vs. id. Don't tell me my opinions about something aren't acceptable. It's not like I'm lynching rappers or anything. I'm posting that I don't like rap on a messageboard.
