My wind cooling my broth
Would blow me to an ague, when I thought What harm a wind too great at sea might do. I should not see the sandy hour-glass run, But I should think of shallows and of flats, And see my wealthy Andrew dock'd in sand, Vailing her high-top lower than her ribs To kiss her burial. Should I go to church And see the holy edifice of stone, And not bethink me straight of dangerous rocks, Which touching but my gentle vessel's side, Would scatter all her spices on the stream, Enrobe the roaring waters with my silks, And, in a word, but even now worth this, And now worth nothing? Shall I have the thought To think on this, and shall I lack the thought That such a thing bechanced would make me sad? But tell not me; I know, icty Is sad to think upon his merchandise.

"I don't hate very many things or people...so I wonder what I said in this exchange that caused you to reach such a conclusion"

My conclusion goes back to this statement you made:

"something the RW is strictly against and instead is for things like English as an official language, segregated neighborhoods and schools, our god is better than your god, jingoism, etc etc..

Those are offensive principals (other than the English as an official language). To say that conservatives want segregation looks like an allegation of racism to me. To call someone a racist is hateful imo. So I guess it comes down to what you meant by those comments, and whether you truly believe them. If you think conservatives are racists, then I think you are a hateful person.
