I really only despise one person and that is my ex-husband in-law (wife's ex). He is such a fuggin prick I could slug him in the neck after kicking his sack.
I've spent over $100,000 educating his two boys and refuses to help. I just found out he is going to Taos (and taking his kids) for a Christmas vacation and here I am trying to figure out what to sell or cash in so it doesn't cost us what little retirement we have.
I once edited a book for a friend, asking only that he pay me per hour what he made per hour ($9.50). He complained that that was too much, and never paid me. He knew that I usually got more � up to $150 per hour.
But he hired a balloonist to give his brat's birthday-party guests balloon rides at $75 per hour.
WHOA, that is harsh. We wouldn't have ya around without her.
She gave birth to me, and planned to take me from the hospital and find a way to "lose" me as she put it. If not for my maternal grandfather and grandmother taking me in, I would not be here today.
i despise my exwife's father. he abused and belittled her and her sister and made them have no self esteem or drive. he created their problems and then blamed them for it.
he goes to church 4 times a week and spends all his time talking about what a good guy he is. what a great example.
through this behavior, his daughter couldn't hack an adult relationship and left me with her debts and problems.
so yeah, i despise someone.
i know, i married her. some problems are buried deep and only come out when you become part of the family...
my ex-wife and her husband for all the abuse they did to my sons before I got custody..........those 2 deserve worse than I can mete out.....and I can get pretty ugly.

Bob...I've made a serious effort to avoid reading any footbal threads this year on account of your dismal predictions last year...hope you're faring better this season...

well, sweetheart, we're damn glad she didn't succeed.
Early in my career I used to despise/hate many. Now I can count that I truly despise on one hand. Like Steelhead, they are those that I used to have some respect/feelings for.
The difference, though, is that years ago the hate was just there, itching the back of my skull. Now it "feeds the beast" and keeps me going.
Eventually that bill is gonna come due and the dog will come off leash.
So far, we have talked about "despised" persons. The fervor of the hate cited so far is geniuine in many/most cases. But..
I know several folks currently in max security fedearal prisons that I would gladly kill. And I know that there are more like them out there.
"Despise" is a touchy-feely category that permits too much range for the congenitally weak-kneed among us to go all squishy and make the bad guys amongst us into victims! Child molesters, rapists, drug purveyors, leakers of national secrests, and the politcos who protect them deserve more them just our despisal.
I honestly believe to truly despise someone you have had to have some feelings for them at one time or another.
I guess I did at one time. She used to come and visit me and try to make like she cared for me. I guess I was young and wanted to think she did love me, so in a way I guess I came to care about her. Then when I was 8 years old, I found out that I had two brothers, one that was born the year after me, and the other three years after me. She kept them, and from my understanding there was never any question about not keeping them. I guess I didn't quite understand why me and not them, and I still don't, and maybe that's the part of me that despises her, the part that doesn't know.
I don't despise anybody. I used too, until I realized that anybody worth hating ain't worth wasting time on... wretched soles destined to grow old in misery and die alone. If anything, I'll say a little prayer for them. Of course, I wouldn't mind shooting them in the ear with a .22 either, but not because I despise them.

that's just cullin'....don't have to hate a dink to cull him
Brother-in-law forged a quit claim deed on my mother's house, put the property in his name and tried to have her evicted. And, my ex-sister went along with it. I had them both arrested, and since he was a deputy, he also lost his job. We spent a lot on attorneys and as much as some people like to bash attorneys, I appreciate what a couple of them did for us.

Pretty much me. Despise is too active an emotion to carry around and I don't like to waste energy on useless things. Any energy put towards despising someone is taking away from a useful emotion.
Lots of folks I don't 'like' but that doesn't mean I dislike them. Dislike is far too active an emotion to carry for someone I don't like.

Wisdom with age??
I would like to hope I'm able to reach that level someday. For now I'll eat the hate and wait for my moment.

Carol Anne's parents, brothers, and sisters ostrasized and snake-mouthed us for thirty years, then � after she died � tried to make-like all was "still" lovy-dovy with me and our children. (Until I politely told 'em that they had nothing that I wanted to hear about.)
I don't hate 'em, just like I don't hate the miserable winter weather in northern Minnesota while I'm content here in western New Mexico.
I despise thugs. Vermin that prey on those weaker than themselves. The baggy clothed "tough guys" that try to intimidate good honest folk and contribute nothing positive to society. Gang members fit this description especially well.
I despise many of my liberal friends presently jumping the Obama ship and saying they only voted for him because it was time we had a black president..
The ignorant, thieving piece of trash that rang me this morning and asked if I would shear for him....I REALLY enjoyed telling him there was not a hope in hell of that happening.
Myself I don't despise anyone, but there is a number of people I have no use for so I won't associate with them as life is to short so I don't have any time for them.
As a matter of fact I told one of them to get lost as the best part of him ran down his mother's leg when he was conceived and that he was the poster child for castration at birth so he couldn't add to the gene pool(he was my neighbor).
There's only one person I can say I really despise, and I ask the Lord to release me from that hatred every day. So far it hasn't worked, but I continue to ask. I don't like myself when I'm hating that person. It gives them way too much power.
A clown who had an employee he didn't like. He fired him for a ridiculous reason, and then years later was stupid enough to brag about what he'd done. That action indirectly led to years of grief for me. The guy has a nice family, sweet wife, well behaved kids, but he is an absolute scum bag.
Seeing the sad stories of terrible family members, I can only add the Teddy Roosevelt quote, "the measure of a man is not what he has, but what he does with what he has." I think TR meant material possessions, but I reckon he'd say it also applies to those who overcome serious family issues.

Describe for us what you would have said to him if you despised him...OK, I'm ready.
I despise "sheeple" - people who mindlessly follow the majority of the herd - like sheep. Sheep+people=sheeple.
You can usually spot them quickly in a debate - they get offended so easily when you question their core beliefs, and rather than debate, since they don't know why they feel the way they feel - they then lash out at the debater with all manner of personal attacks and innuendo.
No, actually on reflection - I think I find sheeple to be so enjoyable - at least on a forum - due to the fact their beliefs are often so shallow - they can't debate anyone effectively without name-calling and getting all mad and abusive - hence the enjoyable childish taunting, and the accompanying ridiculous fury, that so often comes back at the person who tries to engage them in reasoned and logical debate.
To find the best example of sheeple on this forum - watch and observe the people who's first response to a position they disagree with - is anger and name calling - we have dozens of great examples of sheeple on this forum!
They are all passion and fury, coupled with a total lack of a brains and the capacity for having a single individual thought.
Here's to sheeple - and the predictable fun they give the rest of us.
I dunno what despising people really means to me. Killed a lot of folks I didn't even know and my heart rate hardly flickered. Their only offense was trying to kill me, which all things considered was a rational act on their part.
Have equally cool emotions about my ex cause I wound up losing the custody battle. Found a home for the cats eventually but that was a pain in the butt.
Not real fond of robots and drones and have no respect for their kind. Life is more complex than blindly following the letter of the law or kneeling to the God of Greed. So at the end of the day I wouldn't mind hurting some of those folks greatly. Maybe they would recover and become beneficial rather than divisive? Politicians fall under that description in my book...too.
So, who would I get emotional about? Who would I like to die slowly and in great pain? Maybe a few liberal politicians, or even some conservative ones from domestic and foreign shores. But the fact of it is, if the chance to affect "change" fell on my doorstep I'd be fairly unemotional about it. I'd laugh though, given the chance to mete justice to a pedophile. Maybe that's who/what I despise? I'd probably stop short of doing a full Hannibal on them, but only when it came to the grillin' part. I hate Chianti.
Myself I don't despise anyone, but there is a number of people I have no use for so I won't associate with them as life is to short so I don't have any time for them.
That pretty well says it for me too. There are a number of character traits or personalities that I don't care for, but I don't lose sleep dwelling on it. I tend to keep such things to myself.
I see a lot of smugness, and that's a trait I don't like, although there are worse things in human nature. Predators, exploiters, and bullies; I hope karma catches up to them.
You have just described your self Brian. Self hatred is a hard.
I'd bet I clean your clock on a one on one debate any day of the week - and I could do it with a smile, while being polite and I wouldn't have to line up my thoughts with everyone else's to win.
Does your observation about me - mean that I hit a nerve? Are you, in fact, just another sheeple?
I really only despise one person and that is my ex-husband in-law (wife's ex). He is such a fuggin prick I could slug him in the neck after kicking his sack.

So damn tired of this chit..........
Rant over.
Just don't do it....
I would not break myself sending his kids to school.... We did break ourselves sending our kids to school.... but that's a different story

I despise people with no sense of irony.
The day that I can't argue my point of view without resorting to name-calling and personal abuse - or the day I line up with the majority - just because I feel safer that way - will be a truly ironic day.

They've lived with me since they were tots. Can't depend on him for chit and I couldn't live with myself if they didn't get the sheepskin. Just part of our family and obviously worth only what a kid does with it. If it puts him one step ahead of the next guy, I'm golden.
Our first son made the Dean's list 4x at TT (Rawls School of Bidniss) and made many friends in the faculty. Our second son is struggling some, but he works his butt off both in class and off campus. If he'd lay off the partying for a bit, he'd do better.
Thankfully they are both 180 degrees in attitude from each other. Makes for interesting conversations. When he graduates and if I'm still above ground, I'm gonna buy me a new Rem 700 ADL from Academy for $349.00 and kick it high.

Similar sentiment and attitude here, for the most part. Only a select few do I truly loathe, I mean *truly* get an hate on for today. The kind of hatred where I would quite literally celebrate and smirk upon learning of their death. I guess I'll admit I used to really kind of embrace the hate, but as I've aged, senor hate and I now more just good friends who don't see each other that much anymore. OK, one more drink and that's me done. Gotta' go kill some wildfowl in the am.
"The kingdom of God is like a master who decided to settle accounts with his servants. One servant was brought to him who owed him a huge sum of money. Since the man had no way to pay it back, the master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all his property, in payment of the debt. But the man pleaded with him, and promised to pay him back in full. The master was moved with pity, and let the servant go and forgave the debt.
After he was let go, the man came upon a fellow servant who owed him a day's wage. He seized him and demanded that he pay back what he owed. The fellow servant pleaded with him to give him time to pay back the debt, but the man refused. He had him thrown into prison until he could pay what he owed.
Other servants saw what had happened and reported it to the master. The master summoned the man and said, 'I forgave you your entire debt because you pleaded with me. Should you not have done the same to your fellow servant?'
Then the master handed him over to be tortured until he paid back his entire debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless you forgive your brother from your heart."
Matthew 18: 23-35 � Then the master handed him over to be tortured until he paid back his entire debt. So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless you forgive your brother from your heart."
" � and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
