I guess we can’t have our own opinions anymore.  We have to agree with everything the popular kids say is great and cool.

I can’t say I don’t like watching reality tv or I don’t enjoy that an artists work for my own reasoning, because if I don’t agree I have to be a hater.  Not that I just happen to have a different take or taste than the next person.  No I have to hate, and that being different is not looked upon favorably.

When did this phenomenon take place?  When did it become ok to just fall in line and never speak out against what the mainstream says is cool or acceptable?

Why do people insist on labeling you a hater, then try to assassinate your character and intelligence along with so much more?

Can’t I say I prefer Krispy Kreme Donuts to Dunkin Donuts without someone saying, “You’re just hating on Dunkin”?  No I’m not, I’m just telling you that I like one over the other, it’s that simple.  The same as whomever you think is your favorite basketball player, most assuredly will not be the same as my choice.

This doesn’t make me a hater, it just means my opinion is different than yours and that’s quite alright.

Our culture has become so convoluted and twisted, that individual expression has been extinguished, and replaced with followership.

I for one refuse to live under the label of hater, but to be recognized as an individual that has a valid and viable open opinion.
