I've got a question, if we're not allowed or at least not suppose to hate people for their gender, race, species, skin color, sexual preference etc.. then does that mean we're not suppose to hate people because of their personality and for who they are?

Think about it.

No, because personalities and whatnot can be changed, while people will argue the others can't. The person has no control over their colour, but they have some over how they act.

very logical.

Behavior is something that can be changed.

I disagree though, people claim they can 'change', they may 'act' different on the outside but on the inside they're still the same old person they were. Personalities are created by the environment and gentics, a lot of people want to believe they have control of themselves and that genetics plays a small role but I tend to believe otherwise. People with a specific genetic makeup (generic) can have a tendency to do certain things either differently or more frequently than others with a different genetic makeup that don't favor those characteristics etc. which brings up the point, "how valid are stereo types?".

I disagree with your whole premise. We are all welcome to hate anyone we want, based on any criteria we want. And the PC crowd are the most vocal haters of them all. What we can?t do is act on that hate, we have to tolerate the groups we can?t stand.

Most stereo types have some validity because genetics and environment play a who role in who we are, but Ultimately the choice is up to you. Though very few people do, there are enough examples to show that one can choose who they want to be and how they want to act.

You can hate whoever you want for whatever reason you want. If it's your perception that you're not supposed to hate someone because of X reason then it's your own irrational short-comings that limit your mental fortitude.

Reductivism. But brain pathways can change over time. Also, if a person is truly willing to change, they can, it just takes time.

I hate everyone equally just so I can't be accused of being racist, sexest, or any of that other polical correctness crap.

He is another freak of nature.

I know some of you bleeding hearts will say he a product of his environment and in reality it is everyone's fault he does what he does. Whatever.

Hence the reason why PC in the title. Everybody has this desire to be PC and the others who aren't are viciously attacked. To be honest, I hate people who make fun of asians, thats just how I am, it's probably because it bothers me when people are critical of them. I don't like it when they're rude to other groups because of their orientation, etc. but I seemingly tolerate it more.. Anyways it just seems like it's a bunch of hokeypokey. Bleh

But they have a choice on religion, and you're not allowed to discriminate there.

I also believe that homosexuality is a choice, but we won't get into that here;)
