Which would be worse, to be hated or hate-filled, or to rephrase the question, to be a hatee or a hater? I will provide my own answer, hopefully after some readers will offer their own thoughts on the subject.
It would depend on why the person is hated. If it's due to racism, prejudism, or any other "ism" than I'd rather be the one who is hated.
If the person or people are hated due to some true violation of others rights, like (for immediate lack of a better example) Hitler and the 3rd Riech, than I'd rather be the one doing the hating.
i dont hate anyone, or not any race of people... OK wait, I hate stupid people, I hate inattentive drivers on cell phones, The IRS, (note) The IRS spells theirs... um...
Hands down I would rather be the hatee than the hater. The hater can't have a clear conscience while the hatee could. Brenda, I thought your first answer was just fine.
I love Racine Wisconsin. But I am not naive about the challenges we face. I have chosen the name Free Racine for a reason. For Racine to realize its great potential, we must free ourselves from our own failed policies, from high taxes, failing schools, and self serving politicians.

I do not feel a true hatred toward anyone and don’t know that I would want to…there are too many other things to worry about in this world.
So I guess I would rather be hated than hate-filled.
You've been reading Kay again I see.
or if you hate everyone equally?

I would want neither - but if I was hated for something I believed in, I guess I could live with that.

I need a mulligan.
I want to change my answer to something more like Sandy's....
I had not considered people like Hitler, Mussolini, or Bin Laden when I answered previously- I had only taken my beliefs in consideration.

What if you are both???
That would suck anon.
Tell me about it!!
I prefer being the hatee. But haters who make decisions that effect people's lives should be cause for concern.
