Oh ya? Here is a direct quote from this thread: "yeah, we hate them.. And putting quotations around 'people' is simply dehumanizing them as people who commit those atrocities don't deserve the title of 'human'..."

As for "insinuating" that hatred is implied when using a slur like freak, such an insinuation is no different than when using "hebe" for jew, the N word for a person of color, "beaner" for Latino, "homo" for gay, "fatso" for the obese, etc.

I'm going to anticipate that you (or someone) will argue that those epithets do not necessarily imply hatred, per se. OK, maybe, but it's indisputable they are condescending at the very least. And again, while we have a right to be condescending or even hateful, we will be scorned by a civilized society.
