			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hate the King Of Thailand, better known as Bhumibol Adulyadej, even better known as the Feet King. Why? Because he is a freak that every Thai seems to love. There was a Swiss man by the name of Oliver Jufer who got sentenced to 10 years in prison for painting a mustache on his official portrait (he was later released upon international pressure).<br />
<span id="more-218"></span><br />
However, the worst part about this fiasco is that he is backed by the Thais in EVERYTHING he does. If you even refer to him as Bhumibol in Thailand without the &#8220;your majesty&#8221; or &#8220;greatness&#8221; attached to it, you can get 10 years in prison. And yet the Thais LOVE him! Why does Thailand have the collective IQ of a vegetable? </p>
<p>Even American companies are giving in to his demand, with YouTube removing videos deemed &#8220;offensive&#8221; off. Now compared to what kind of videos they put on that site about Tony Blair and George Bush, I am sure that feet superimposed over a head isn&#8217;t offensive. And the Thais who post comments on YouTube seem only to know swearwords, which makes them even more deficient mentally. Thus, I hate Bhumibol Adulyadej. I can&#8217;t wait for the day that I can know that his flesh and bones are crackling in the fires of hell forever!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hate communism. I hate it for many reasons. First and foremost, I hate any form of government that involves huge emphasis on authority figures. Why should we all be treated like little children by the government? We should be able to make our own decisions and have freedom of speech amongst other civil rights.<br />
<span id="more-208"></span><br />
Second, I hate the way that communism essentially penalizes the honest, moral hard-working people who work really hard, just to make the same pay as the slackers and end up picking up the slack for the majority of the group that are slackers. The equal pay and guaranteed social &#8220;benefits&#8221; encourages lazy people to not work as hard, or to not work at all. That is not fair to the people who work really hard. </p>
<p>I also hate communism because the government runs everything, which does not allow for competition. Thankfully my country of the USA is not communist, but some of the changes occuring as a result of the Bush adminsitration reek of slight commuinsm and I hate that! </p>
<p>For example, the government telling small bar businesses that they are not allowed to let us smoke in their bars; or the state government of Massachusetts mandating that all people MUST obtain health insurance, essentially forcing the people who do not receive employee health benefits to dish out money for an individual plan. I hate any kind of strong authoritative government! Let us be! US free and democratic!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know this is crazy, but at the moment I hate politics. How does one person, one person know how to rule a country? I know people will say it’s not one person, it’s a whole community of people, when in the end it’s up to just one person, ever sat down to a democratic meeting, or what we call democratic. They all are just a huge bunch of guys who want to keep power in their hands for as long as possible, because power helps them earn money. Which they need again to hold power right along.<br />
<span id="more-163"></span><br />
It’s like wild animals hunting for their food. It’s like eagles swooping for their food, it’s like a thousand ants jumping at one piece of food. We ask for politicians to rule our country so they can help rule our life (they do rule our life, they comeup with the rules, don’t they?). I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough, I hate politics. Politicians are something to be anihilated from the Earth. What the hell does a &#8220;professional politician&#8221; term mean? I thought politicians are meant to be ordinary people whom we pay money to, so that they can devote their time to managing our country&#8217;s processes. But they become &#8220;professional politicians&#8221;. Guess it, a guy is not a professional manager, administrator or even theoretic. He is a professional politician. That probably means he earns quite a pile of money for just bla-bla-blabbing on TV and building up his personal image. </p>
<p>I hate them, I hate them, I hate them. Everywhere I seem to look we have politics making our decisions for us. No I’ve had enough! And I just wanted to have my say on what I hate and that would be it.</p>
<p>Thank you for reading my I hate this message.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is it. I just can’t stand this anymore. Every single time that I hear about Bush, he keeps surprising me and the world with some fresh dubya action. I simply can’t believe that such a huge and powerful country is being run by such an *absolute* political idiot. He can’t construct proper sentences. He contradicts himself. Most of the world leaders can’t stand him.<br />
<span id="more-140"></span><br />
Now I’m not even talking about those famous “Bushisms” that he keeps uttering like every time he appears in public. </p>
<p>Psychoanalyst Frank (2004) based on the &#8220;growing anecdotal evidence&#8221; of Bushisms diagnosed that the President may suffer from dyslexia, ADHD, and other thought disorders, observing that:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Naturally, the occasional misstatement or discrepancy between word and deed may be dismissed as politics as usual. But when the most powerful man on the planet consistently exhibits an array of multiple, serious, and untreated symptoms — any one of which I&#8217;ve seen patients need years to work through — it&#8217;s certainly cause for further investigation, if not for outright alarm. President Bush is not my patient, of course, but the discipline of applied psychoanalysis gives us a way to make as much sense of his psyche as he is likely ever to allow.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>He was a poor student who somehow got into the finest schools. He was a National Guardsman who somehow missed a year of service. He was a failed businessman who somehow was made rich. He was a minority investor who somehow was made managing partner of the Texas Rangers. He was a defeated politician who somehow was made governor. Finally, *somehow*, this man has won two consecutive presidential elections.<br />
Well that’s no accident, I guess. A lot of people are *actually* stupid enough to vote for him. One of them, Stuart Rosenburg from CNN (oh my God how I hate CNN but that’s a different story) said: </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;George Bush is likely to be a better role model for the country than was Bill Clinton.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>Let&#8217;s see now&#8230; Bush has horrible grammar, mangled syntax, invents words that don&#8217;t exist, and doesn&#8217;t know the first thing about geography, the environment, or world politics. He won&#8217;t tell the truth about his past drug use, about being AWOL from the National Guard, or about his shady business exploits. And we&#8217;re supposed to think he&#8217;s a better role model because he won&#8217;t receive oral sex from an intern&#8230;.? </p>
<p>Now the absolutely last drop, the G8 summit. Not only did he curse while talking to Blair at lunch:</p>
<blockquote><p>“The irony is, what they really need to do is to get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit, and it&#8217;s over.”</p></blockquote>
<p>but also managed to give the German Chancellor a casual massage on the back, which made her uncomfortable as hell…</p>
<p>Just think about it for a sec. Would you do the same kind of stuff if you were elected to the Oval Office? I hope I wouldn’t. *Most* people wouldn’t. Only in a country like the US could the people elect somebody with a negative IQ – and twice!</p>
<p>God, is America screwed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The end of 2004 was marked by something very noticeable in the whole world &#8211; the presidential elections in Ukraine. Everyone remembers that &#8220;orange revolution&#8221;, when it was said that Ukraine has been turning to democracy. Yeah, democracy. Ukraine model.<br />
<span id="more-19"></span><br />
We&#8217;ve got a new president. Hurray! Superb! Fantastic! Finally, everyone will be able to express his opinion in public, the press will become independent and Ukrainian small and middle business will come out the shadow economy and start paying taxes honestly. American dream &#8211; Ukrainian model.</p>
<p>Forget it.</p>
<p>The new power uses the same tools. When people earn (or steal, whatever) much money, they start thinking of how to protect their money and they want power. When they have that power, they need to support it with&#8230; bingo! &#8211; money! </p>
<p>Ukraine model of democracy is a kind of pervertion. No, I can&#8217;t say we are opressed or something alike. Yes, we can say what we think and the reporters who are somewhat critical towards President Yushtchenko are still alive. But is that a democracy? </p>
<p>I&#8217;m a small business owner. I have been promised a lot and nothing became true. We were cheated again. Who cares? We do. It was not the continuation of the old idiotism under the new faces we wanted when we hit the streets. </p>
<p>As with everything here, Ukraine has its own, unique model for everything. Even democracy. </p>
